Thread: Purdy Icons Please

    Default Purdy Icons Please

    Simple question, noticed it when I was lurking around in this thread: User interface screen shots

    Where can I get me some of those snazzy, colourful icons? Like in this picture: http://home.arcor.de/takora/Horizons/Takora/tako_ui.jpg

    Compared to the dull teals, violets, greens and murky browns of the current icons, these things practically leap off the screen. So vibrant. So eye-catching. So awesome. I'd be eternally grateful to the one that could help me in finding that rainbow-encrusted mod if it at all exists.

    Huzzah! Colours! So pretty! Many thinks meepsa.

    Also, a little unrelated, I think I might have seen a link to this same site on Crimson Dawn's guild webpage. Unfortunately, that link is broken as far as I know.

    Crimson Dawn Links Page

    Is it meant to lead to the same download? Just curious.

    Link on CD should point to Val's main site, the address must have changed at some point. Thanks for pointing out I will fix it later on today.

    Val's site is down (has been for a few months so ive been told), so I'll just leave a comment that the site is down at the moment on the links page

    Aw. That's a shame. Well, maybe you should add in an alternate link to the one meepsa provided? Like a ittle blurb stating that the original site the download is found in is currently down and providing this link as a temporary alternateive until the original is fixed? Just a thought. Ignore it at your leisure.

    Hmm - yeah - unfortunately my site has been down a while ..

    But a bunch of the other sites are still hosting the icons ..
    Dragonnoir and Crimson Dawn for sure - and prolly a few others.

    The v2.04 were the latest with the option of overwriting the red dragon craft icons with another set of blue ones (available on CD site).

    Glad to hear you're enjoying them

    I'll have to get off my rump and make a newer set one of these days.

    I personally like the red ones myself. Maybe you should think backwards and replace the blue icons with matching red ones? I'd like that very much.

    Hey! You could bundle the corresponding colour matches together under "Helion-Style" and Lunus-Style" titled packs! (Okay, sorry. Stupid.)

    What I'd like to see though is, well... how can I put it...? A more "complete" set, maybe? I mean, don't get me wrong, the ones you already have are far and away better than the ones I had before, for sure, but there are still quite a few icons that remain unchanged from their far more vibrant counterparts. If you could first create an all-encompassing version, with all icons altered (or at least made a slightly-higher quality from their rather fuzzy as well as dull appearances), I'd download that baby in a second!

    Not sure that I understand you .. the v2.04 has red icons .. if you choose to .. you can use the other set of blue ones.

    heh - well - yes - that would be nice .. but there are something like 3500 icons including something like 2000 ability / spell / formula / augmentation icons .. it is not exactly a weekend's work to replace them.

    Having said that - I've not actually worked on this project for something like 2 years now .. if I find the time, maybe I can get some more done.

    I was actually referring to icons other than the crafting ones. Making most of the other icons that have blue backgrounds instead have red ones, to match the red set of crafting icons. Like a theme. Get it? "Helion Set" = blue icons for crafting/abilities/formulas etc. "Lunus Set" = red icons for crafting/abilities/formulas etc. Obviously for icons that actually have a background geared toward one colour or the other.

    Maybe you should enlist the help of other people perhaps? If you're too busy with other things, you could delegate the project to someone else temporarily whilst you do what needs doing on your end. Then, once that's done, you can review and, if needed, tweak or scrap the designs that your assistants come up with and then release the next patch in the pack.

    Of course, there's always the "shut up and be patient" option.

    Where do I put them after downloading and unzipping? Confused.
