wtb old nano icons back

[Dragocze]

I see the use of the new icons if they have worked, here is a image that shows what i mean

Since I am using the list-mode of ncu their border dont show correctly.
As it is now, changes are useless

I use list mode too. If they rather change time format from 00:00:28 to 28 to be more readable.

New nano/hot bar icons are fugly.

[WizMeister3000]

also why the color bounding?

its part of the game for you to realize if you have been ninja buffed or debuffed. it also takes skill to pay attention to that, why make it easier?

i think they actualy made it harder ))
all this border makes a complete nonsense of the icon, way to many colors stuffed into a tiny box, and im using 1920x1200 res


WTB change back button/option

You people are boring.
I like the general idea, but I dislike the implementation due to the icons being a mess. WTB: Better icons, but sticking to the original idea.

[Ophiuchus]

Well it's not the nano icons so much as the magnified perk icons on the hotbars that look just awful. Add borders to those too or something to shrink them back down a bit.

Tried playing a shade? hit all your perks and your ncu is suddenly full of hostile, but benign nanos. Makes a mockery of the idea of being able to easily spot debuffs with colour coding. Change is not always good, or necessary.

Maybe they need a new category for those, then.

Please give old Nano-Icons back!!

Esp. on Pet-Info NCU they look very bad and small!

[PereatMundus]

Ok Idea, bad implementation.

*Icon's are washed-out.

Rince - repeat - Reado.

It does hurt when the implementation is so poor.
I'd rather have the old back If i could choose.

Yeah I like the idea too but the implementation sucks. Well it looks good on nanos if you get used to it but perks look really bad now and on some buffs you cannot distinguish them anymore. And in listmode it's totally messed.

I love the fact that the fixer LE hot procs have never been fixed. One is green and helpful, the other red and hostile. *rolls eyes* Let me just remove backyard bandages then...

I don't mind the idea behind the changes I just don't personally care for the perk images and the new shiny bright colors. One of the things I've always liked about the general design of AO was a scuffed, dirtier feel. It's very pretty and shiny in my NCU and hotbars now - wtb grit back.

[Ismail]

I really find the new ncu's painfull for the eyes i really hope there will be a disable options for these.

[Darkirbiska1]

I don't like it either.
Can we know how much time did you waste with icons instead of working on new engine?

Some good news!

These changes are an overlay, so if you make the 10 overlay files transparent you get your old icons back.

Some less good news, this needs it's own custom gui . Easy for people using the default, as you can make your own gui with just the 10 changed images, not so good for anyone using a 3rd-party one unless you want to hack it.

Files to make totally transparent are:

GFX_GUI_ICONTYPEFRAME40_(YELLOW|BLUE|GREEN|RED|WHI TE).png
GFX_GUI_ICONTYPEFRAME32_(YELLOW|BLUE|GREEN|RED|WHI TE).png

Follow the instructions in the "how to skin AO thread" in Knowledge Database, and you're good to go.

Doesn't put the perk icons back or make the hotbars smaller, I'm investigating whether the size is in XML or hardcoded somewhere.

thx dude, u saved ao for me )

u managed to get this done m8?

[Marijke]

oO So we have to "patch" AO and fix bad design on our own now... nice!

[Sonikeep]

yeah, standart 18.4 gui without borders
1. download http://www.anarchyonline.org.ru/GUIGFX_M.zip
2. unpack 2 files from archive to "Anarchy Online\cd_image\textures\archives"
3. select new gui in launcher settings =)

both notum and dovve will fix it too i bet )

[Kari]

Once I've found somewhere to host it I'll post a tiny custom gui file for default users that just changes these overlay icons, so you effectively just end up back before the patch. No sign of the hotbar resizing though, I rather suspect that's coded.

Edit: or someone else can do the whole thing instead thanks Sonikeep.

If you have no qualms fiddling with gui files yourself ( which isn't as hard as you'd think ), you could just patch the 10 files into dovvetech or whatever custom gui you use yourself, it's basically just unpack-copy-repack with one of the existing tools to do it.
