Story Arc Icon Fix

Hi all! I've been using some of the alternate icon sets for a while (Vanden and Corva's), and playing around with some ideas of my own. One that immediately came to mind is a pet peeve of mine -- the new story arc icons. A while back they changed it from red book / yellow book icons to the new green with yellow and blue with yellow icons that are almost indistinguishable from each other. That can make it a pain to figure out which major arcs you need to clear out if you're at the limit.

So, that sounds like an easy fix... and here you go.

Current contact list:


Can you spot which ones are major arcs and which ones are minor arcs? The color difference is very subtle, so the biggest clue is that currently the display is bugged and the major arc icon is offset slightly to the left. Here it is with the new icon:



Much easier to tell which is which! So how do you get it? Easy, just click on the download link:

and extract the zip file to your City of Heroes installation. For Windows users, it's as simple as dragging the "data" folder to your main CoH install directory.

To "uninstall", simply delete the storyarc_button_major.texture file. If you're not using any icon or map packs, you can just delete the whole texture_library folder.

Make sure not to add or remove this while the game is running, as it really doesn't like files changing out from under it!
