Well, so far I haven't found anything that needs changing with your icons. Though I'm quite sure I haven't encountered them all in-game yet. Will try the Todd Tester Cell later today and report back.

If it's not to late already i would like to sign in as a beta tester. :hubbahubba:

I'm experimenting with some new magic item background marker so i'm already testing it against serveral icon sets anyways.

Thanks in advance, nONatee..

Link sent. :)

Thanks, iggey. Let me know how the ToddTestCell test goes.

I hope to get this packaged and uploaded at least by the weekend, barring any catastrophes (which is not as unlikely as it sounds).

:3 I would love to try these out for you, Alaisiagae. You can count on me to let you know if there are any problems!

Hey ally, screenies are broken.

I know, I cleared them out sometime this past summer. >.< I did all these back in May and June, before discovering that it was a mistake to tweak brightness and contrast in Paint.net during icon creation. And then stuff happened and I sort of let the project languish while I did other things. But Hrnchamd came to the rescue! :bowdown:

I put up a few of povuholo's http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1092079-wipz-icon-replacer/page__view__findpost__p__16986293. In some posts above that, there should be a screenie on my photobucket - it isn't representative the icons in their current state, but it should give a good idea of what the new icons will be like in general - more detail than vanilla items, less blank/empty space in the icon image. Also, I've tried to be consistent with how icons are oriented and cropped. So, say, daggers have the entire hilt shown (crossguard, grip, pommel, some of the blade base), whereas the focus of the icon for claymores is on the crossguard, with a bit of the blade above and a bit of the grip shown below.

Unfortunately, Irfanview renders the .dds versions of the icons kinda weird, probably because of the alphas. The icons look pixellated and blocky, so I can't just take a screencap of the icons in the Irfan thumbnail viewer (like I used to when the icons were .tga). I guess I could still through them up on my bucket, the brightness issue isn't readily apparent in the thumbnails.

Well, your icons don't seem to have any issues with brightness after doing the ToddTest-cell.
So as far as I'm concerned they're good to go. If you are not happy with Irfan, you can always try XnView.
It allows for batch-processing of all images in a folder. Converts between all sorts of image-formats,
including from tga to dds. Give it a try.

Thanks. I'm going to see if I can tweak the ruby, emerald, and pearl so that the quantity number is easier to read. Not sure when I'll get around to it. My dog has been having some health issues (refer to the Lurker's Lair in Community Discussion), and I need and want to spend a lot of time looking after her (and making sure she doesn't wander up or down any stairs, of which our house has many). Yesterday was a long day, up at 6AM and went to bed past 12AM. :dead: So, please be patient while I have this going on, as well as assignments for university that I need to do.

For converting to dds, I recommend Ordenador http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Utilities.Detail&id=76

Or try this great software "MysticThumbs" it fits in the explorer, and you can thus see the miniatures directly. (extension .dds, .tga, .psd, etc...)
Now it's a shareware, but here you have the latest freeware version => http://www.321download.com/LastFreeware/page40.html

No need to hurry on that. Just take all the time you need until you feel good releasing it.

As Westly always says: take care.

Thanks. I had some time today to change the emerald, ruby, and pearl icons. Not sure if the new pearl icon is any better than the old one, though.

http://www.mediafire.com/?19migvr63as8p53 and let me know if the quantity number is more legible.

Thanks for your effort. The gems are fine now (http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6916/mgescreenshot323.jpg - good job :goodjob: )

For the pearl the new treatment doesn't seem to benefit in terms of legibility (at least if the counter gets higher than 1 digit). Maybe resizing would do better here.

The enchanted effects on the scrolls are of this Icon Replacer?

No, this just replaces the inventory icons of lots of stuff. And adds some proper icons for left-pauldrons, etc.

I probably should clarify: the icons in the Lefty folders are meant to be used with my Left Gloves Addon mod or with Lurlock's Left Gloves mod. The lefty icons don't do anything in-game without an .esp. :)

@nONatee.. : thanks, I'll try to fiddle with the pearl icon again. Are there any others like that icon that I should attend to? Particularly for items that may attain double-digit quantities in the player inventory.

Okay, I revised the pearl icon. Hopefully it still looks like a pearl! D:

EDIT: http://www.mediafire.com/?jt10q1d0s6gd8qd. Thanks Hrnchamd for reminding me to convert to dds. :facepalm: I knew I was forgetting something.
