I thought I'd put all this stuff in it's own forum instead of crowding the Mayhew topic.

If anyone else wants to contribute feel free.

One thing before we get started...
Is there a way to see what we have so far?
The items in the images directory I can see in the Monster builder but the icons in the icon directory I can't. Maybe we can come up with a way to see all the graphics so we know what's been done and what's left to do.

Now on to the graphics...

Here is a default island icon:

Hmmm, see all that's there already...not in-game, but here's an archive containing everything that's uploaded (in the image directory, I just ripped that from the game) plus some that were not yet uploaded (outside of that dir). Some pics will probably be doubles existing in both directories, in that case they're already uploaded. Also, don't mind the .xml files-part of this directory is the dungeon info QF sent me. It came with pictures, so...Confused yet? ;)

What island is the picture for?

I'm planning on helping out a small bit with the graphics, but I'm really not that good at it, so don't expect much.

We have an island link on the map (dragon king).

BTW: Is this forum location secure?

Ah thanks!
See my idea is already bearing fruit... there is already a gate icon for the Valmorgen city gate.
I don't have to create a new one :)

ooh! lemme check-in the meantime, I made this. Not an icon, basically it's for any highlands-type terrain with little vegetation.

No the "Gate.gif" The guild spells are something different.
...now THIS is interesting the Gate.gif you sent looks different than the one in the directory.

Gate.gif is the icon for the NE sorcerer spell Gate. It would do the trick, though...EDIT: you already added it :).
How do you mean that it looks different? It's auto-resized to 20*20, if that's what you mean.

It's resized?
:blink:
Nobody told me this.
Here I'm knocking myself out to make 20 pixel icons and any image will work?

Well if I'm going to use that one I'll have to make a 20x20 version because it looks more like a window than a gate now.

Any non-20*20 pic will be distorted. Check for instance the gate.gif one: you said yourself it looks more like a window now.

one for the Plains:

OK,
I resized it and made the bars steel grey instead of yellow.

Nice plains icon

Yeah,
For the last 3 years I thought the icons were 20x20 (not resized).
For the life of me, I cant' figure out why TS would resize them in the browser like that.

most are 25*25, I suppose he made them smaller to better fit with the text. I continued the "tradition" when I programmed the new icon addition thing.
