Some effects/spells have pictures on buff frame, some don't.
Some pictures are similar, maybe it's similar effect or visual is looking the
same.

Would it be possible to add your own pictures to effects?
Or just have 3-5 letters for clearing what effect it is WITH different color
backround like green for boost and red for curses
by letters, I mean, "AoA" with green backround etc..

It's a rather interesting issue here that I vaguely remember bringing up with
Amarth over a year ago. Long story short, we have over 500 possible
skill/spell effects in the game (and rapidly growing as we add salves, food,
etc to this system) and it can be rather costly to pay graphic artists the
money to make each of the icons. I can talk to Amarth and the other Arches
about it, but it's quite possible that if there are players interested in
creating graphics, we could use those. However, the graphics would be
applicable to all. This isn't a promise, because I don't know if there are any
legal contracts or whatever for the content.

I spoken to armath about making those icons long time ago, i guess he forgot
cause nothing came of it. Its not hard im sure there quite a few skilled
players here that know photoshop, Its not rocket science. Give us the
requirments you guys want it, and will do the rest.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theyre not.

Yes indeed, I had forgotten about this.

Anyone may submit icons for approval to me directly, use tell to contact me for
details.

Requirements:

- PNG-format
- 40x40 pixels (100x100 for web)
- the image is not copyrighted or anyone else's work (you haven't just taken it
from the Internets)
- you relinguish all rights to the image by submitting it

If still interested, I warmly suggest that you will create a larger "working
version", e.g. 100x100 or such, which you then downsize to the required
end-size. This allows us to utilize the larger versions on the BatMUD website.

If you wish to "enhance" an existing icon, feel free to ask me separately (I
may provide you with the original, should your reasoning be sound.) If you're
planning to submit a batch of images with e.g. only such as "AoB" written on
them, ask me beforehand, to avoid any unnecessary work.


Regards,
Amarth Shadowstring
