Started because of a thread in the Suggestions forum, I bring the DO/SO Standardization pack! What this pack does, is remove the sometimes confusing icons from DOs/SOs replacing them with the icons from TOs/Generic IOs.

The only issue with this, is that DOs/SOs of Damage Resistance/Defense Buff point to the same file, this is not correctable by me, so I have included a composite of the +Res/+Def icons.

Also, some IO sets will show the underlying enhancement type icon like the Numina, Universal Travel sets for some reason use the Range background... who knows why. Generic Res IOs use the correct icon now, though Set IOs for Res use the composite +Def/+Res since those incorrectly point to the +Def image.

I have a PM to War Witch, about the issue, so I'm hoping this can be corrected.

I was actually in the process of doing these myself, but do you mind if I include these to save my lazy self some work?

Don't mind in the least. If you need I can also put up the bitmaps I did if you wanted them, in case I converted any of them wrong or what ever.

I don't suppose you could release a version without the "corrected" blue resist icons? I know that's what the original intent was, but I've had 6 years to get used to resist=purple and having it on a cyan background feels wrong and unintuitive to me now.

It's good work, but that one little change would allow me to use it.

Frikkin awesome. I still, to this day, have to "Info" most DOs/SOs to make sure I'm buying the right one.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

That's great, both you Shadows! I really appreciate the change!

Installed the non-installer version, and found that nothing had changed.

I was sure I did it right, since I've done numerous things like this before...

Downloaded the installer, and checked the directory. That's when I saw what the problem was:

The Non-Installer version points to data\texture_library\GUI\Icons\Enhancments. You forgot an 'e' in the directory name. Ooops!!

First of all, nice work makes shopping more easy since the tool tips are gone.

But one issue i figured out is that the Aegis set has no purple background.
I used the setting to keep it.

Here's a copy of the purple background Aegis icon, just drop it into the Enhancement folder.

Ok, I've got a bug report. The icon for the Stagger set is funny. Specifically it appears to be offset a little up and left.

So, I went in a looked at Stagger and found:


Tried adjusting it and got:

Finally I removed the mod and got:


It appears Stagger is a little screwy, the recipe references a section of the art work that is slightly off from the enhancement, and while the enhancement uses the same alignment as every other enhancement, its using more of it then other enhancements (the picture extends beyond the pog).

Edit: double checked and apparently the enhancement is only miss aligned in the consignment interface so THIS will get you this:
