Magic Icons - Any Progress?
Posted: Mon Mar 22, 2021 7:34 am
Thanks for taking a moment to read this one folks. Hope I'm not unintentionally joggling anyone's elbow. Here goes...
I did some very minor google-fu today on the subject of spell icons for DF Unity and came across the January 2019 Build post mentioning them. I also ran across the "[MOD] Buff/Debuff Icons" thread in the Modder Discussion portion of the board as well.
One thing I did pick up was that there had been some work done to allow icons to be assigned based on the game's metadata, but that it was not completed/implemented beyond the ability to choose a custom icon in the spell book. (Beautiful feature btw and thank you.) So, that brings me to my question: Is the work mentioned in the January 2019 build something that will be implemented eventually or has it been set aside? I ask because I have been working on some personal custom spell effect icons which I'd love to be able to have the game use as the defaults for spells, potions and so forth.
That's basically it. Feel free to relocate this post if there's a better spot for it. Oh, and a belated happy Beta to one and all.
