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 Sad

Perhaps some sort of distinctive feature (in shape) for the RA/YA would be good, rather than relying solely on colour?

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 and regeneration.

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. not that much detail though...

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!

Perhaps smaller shoulder pads for YA instead (and not as round as the RA ones)?

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 Grin

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 Smiley

i'll take another shot and request a new teleporter symbol.

Thank you pulchr,

tested the icons in OA too, but dont know a map with regeneration Smiley.
In OA the medikit looks not so streched( your second picture).

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)
