Image Icons

prastle

@hepps The icon images show in all maps my friend. I have looked at them. Hopefully all new map makers individualize them. All good I shush.

Hepps

@prastle Yes. the engine will draw any resource from its directory with a resource by the same name... unless the individual map has its own "resources" folder with its own resource images.

Frostion

I will certainly make map specific icons for all my maps. And when a new engine release is eminent, then the xml will be edited.

redrum

@frostion If you have any images that you think would be good to include as base examples with the engine please post them.

Look mighty fine.

@hepps I'd recommend making the mountain a bit more gray/brown so it contrasts a bit more from other green terrains. But looks awesome.

Hepps

@redrum Those were just quick prototypes. The real work has only just begun.

Hepps

Here is an early prototype....

@redrum
I made icons that will fit into all of my maps. Here is the entire collection for you to view and you can use them for other things if you like.

The collection includes new versions of the Iron War and Dragon War icons. The new icons have slightly more black outline. Also there are some new icons like “Mana” and “XP”, some resources I might use in the future with future maps

If there isn't any other feedback or image suggestions then I'll be looking to upload the set defined in the first post of this thread to replace the base resource images in the engine later today.

redrum

New default resource icons have been added to the latest pre-release. Feel free to give it a spin and provide any feedback.

Hepps

@redrum One test revealed a curious behavior...

If a water territory is named anything other than XXXXSZ then the name will not appear in the bottom display bar.

redrum

@hepps Should already be fixed in the latest pre-release unless there is a second bug as @prastle beat you to it: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/3168

Hepps

@redrum Had to happen sooner or later... even a broken clock is right twice a day.

prastle

@hepps ROFL Your able to inspire me so well to improve

Hepps

Just loving these improvements!

Working on implementing some of my re-worked terrain images then will be looking at updating again.

Raville

Great job you are doing, Congratulations! And my opinion: in new TA version .9480 there is some small circles that show moves (for me they are not good and bother in game), small black numbers as before didnt bother at all, maybe those circles are to much showing a movement allowed that isn't to important. Still I have some white windows (now in black) from Java when open a new map, How to correct them? Thanks and good job!

redrum

@raville Make sure to update all your existing maps if using the pre-release.

I feel the default PUs image is too saturate and a bit distracting for what would be the main resource, to see about everywhere. I like the one Hepps used here better, but I don't like the yellow wrap, or whatever that is called.

I suggest having default this one (desaturated by 50%):

instead of this one:

?

@redrum I understand his point now and can clarify. @Raville

New icons are great! in the older maps cept one thing. We need ability to turn off the movement indicator and/or make it a lot smaller. Other than that GREAT STUFF!
