Title: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 08, 2009, 08:32:36 AM Hi,
i ve made some visible armor icons. In my opinion the original icons are tiny and unseeable. I know my icons dont look that good, but here they are. Rename z-icons.pk3.zip to z-icons.pk3 and put it in your baseoa dir. schlorri edit: redone icons, looks better now! edit2:redone again, 'cause nobody likes it :( Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 10, 2009, 06:50:39 AM Hi, i ve made some visible armor icons.

Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: pulchr on May 10, 2009, 08:36:46 AM i like your icons. maybe you can add a little gap between the shoulderpads and the rest of the armour - just a narrow line. it might make it more recognizable as to what it is?
if you're keen on creating more, i really think we need new icons for medikit (http://openarena.ws/svn/icons/medkit.tga) and regeneration (http://openarena.ws/svn/icons/regen.tga). they are similar in design and not very good looking, imo. it might be a bit boring - but my first thought of the medikit was to maybe have some kind of resemblance to the star of life symbol (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Star_of_life2.svg/150px-Star_of_life2.svg.png). not that much detail though... Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 10, 2009, 09:22:46 AM Thanks for your reply,
added some gaps(thanks pulchr, in my opinion it looks much better) I'll try to add some protection to Red Armor(maybe arm-proctection?) feidi PS: the star of life symbol would be an nice medikit! Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: Marble of Doom on May 10, 2009, 09:26:16 AM now it looks good
Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 10, 2009, 09:34:24 AM Thanks a lot,
now ive added some arm protection. I dont think it looks good :( Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: feidi on May 10, 2009, 10:24:00 AM Perhaps smaller shoulder pads for YA instead (and not as round as the RA ones)?
Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 10, 2009, 10:54:07 AM like that?
cannot see much difference Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: pulchr on May 10, 2009, 11:04:43 AM i don't think you need different symbols for YA / RA. it used the same symbol in q3a and it worked fine. the colours are so different it will work anyway.
i liked the line, made the shoulderpads stand out more. the sleeves made it look some kind of hockey gear ;D Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 10, 2009, 11:09:03 AM yes, youre right. And i dont think fromhell want to support monochrome graphics in OA486 :)
Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: pulchr on May 10, 2009, 11:45:10 AM the lines on the syringe look a bit thin compared to the circle. maybe the syringe is a bit too see-through, how about filling it up with some liquid that isn't.
the regeneration symbol look too much like the one linked above. also i don't like the square around - the symbol should be clear enough to be on it's own. also the thin white lines just inside the symbol might be better as thicker edges. i don't know crap about licensing - but here's the link to the wikimedia file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Star_of_life2.svg the image is public domain and can be used etc. seems ok to me good work schlorri :) i'll take another shot and request a new teleporter symbol (http://openarena.ws/svn/icons/teleporter.tga). Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 10, 2009, 12:28:57 PM Had the same idea,
now spyringe is a bit thicker and medicine is in it.(transparency...is it supported?) edit: new Regen-Symbol(Quake3-Style) Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: pulchr on May 12, 2009, 01:10:08 PM i put the icons in a pk3 and tried them out in quake 3.
here are some screens of how they appeared. (http://www.anakronologerna.se/pulchr/medkit-01.jpg)(http://www.anakronologerna.se/pulchr/medkit-02.jpg) (http://www.anakronologerna.se/pulchr/regen-01.jpg)(http://www.anakronologerna.se/pulchr/regen-02.jpg) the yellow armour can be seen in the background. i like how they turned out. Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 12, 2009, 01:42:57 PM Thank you pulchr,
tested the icons in OA too, but dont know a map with regeneration :). In OA the medikit looks not so streched( your second picture). schlorri Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: pulchr on May 12, 2009, 02:36:07 PM i don't know what happened to the medikit in the inventory. hmmm
Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 12, 2009, 02:49:05 PM thats the look in OA
Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: sago007 on May 12, 2009, 03:02:33 PM Couldn't the icons not just be pictures of the 3d models? What would give them a retro look (from the time pickups was simple items)
Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on May 12, 2009, 03:27:46 PM But they would not be so visible i think. And i like the Quake3 Style :)
edit: added quad icon...i like the quake style, u know :) Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: schlorri on July 19, 2009, 08:48:31 AM Upload of Armor, Regen and Medikit pk3 for Ivan(and others)! :)
here you go PS: i dont like the armprotection Title: Re: More visible armor icons Post by: Neon_Knight on July 19, 2009, 09:00:56 AM Could you do the rest of the GFX as well? :D
P.S: tested the icons in OA too, but dont know a map with regeneration :). ps37ctf? czest3ctf? (underwater)EDIT2: Those GFX reps should came with new item models too IMHO.
