Stan` Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I've been trying to unify the interface icons for units a bit with the help of @Lion.Kanzen here is what I got so far: You can try those mods: shield-icons.zipFetching info... white_icons.zipFetching info... yellow_icons.zipFetching info... Or look at the SVG in full quality shield-icons-svg.zipFetching info... white-icons-svg.zipFetching info... yellow-icons-svg.zipFetching info... 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm torn between 1 (Good Contrast) and 3 (Good Minimalism). Either step is great for a modern polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloooy0 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 i like step 1, what is the last icon for? keep your distance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thats the icon to quickly go to the building rally point. To see it select a civic_center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 The problem with step 1 is that those icons are in square boxes which makes them too small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunChleoc Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I find steps 2 + 3 easier to read, because they don't all have the same outline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nani Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I prefer the old ones. Reasons: Have a more defined outline Each has an unique style but share a "theme" of sorts. Old school style suits RTS well. They icon are quicker to differentiate from others compared to the sleek now ones. Don't fix what's not broken. Improvements that could be made to old ones: Resize all icons so they share the same similar size. Improve them doing a "remaster" of the old ones but keeping the essence of the style. Summary: I like the new ones too but the old ones serve well and there is no need to replace just because of it.

Expand yes we are re working old one but takes time make a single one. or new one. isn't fix are alternatives. right now I remade the hammer. to more higter res.

Stan` Posted March 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 In A24 there will be support for status effects, So I tried to make a few icons in preparation. I also added new icons to the list above. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Dew Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 The status effects look great! They're definitely going to be useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloooy0 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 is perfect state effects, catas and fire cav, Would they do damage, after stopping attacking, to units and structures? the morale and the cold will be interesting in what situations you put them.

Stan` Posted March 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 To units yes. For structures I'm not sure maybe @Freagarach knows more. For now cold and morale are just because I find it fun to make icons these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphyrth Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 The modern vibe of the status icons don't seem to fit the game's historic theme. But then again, I did think that 0 A.D. DOES need that modern UI touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Every entity which has the "StatusEffectsReceiver"-tag in the template can be affected by status effects. By default that are both units and structures.

sphyrth Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Everything's coming together. Step 4's Repair Icon is the sore thumb. The Original seems to fit Step 4, though. Edit: I only noticed this now. Why is Guard's icon a sword - shouldn't it be a shield? Edited March 19, 2020 by sphyrth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
