| Zusammenfassung | 0000012: Custom icons | ||||
| Beschreibung | First, this may have been better as a "[FEATURE] Icons", but that's not an option... don't want too many options either, but isn't it more likely to need new icons as a feature than to have bugs in icons? Anyway, nevermind ;) Then second: actual feature request: I'd like to give the players the opportunity to create custom icons for their units. I believe these would improve the RP aspect a lot, adding tons of flavour. The icons would show up in the unit details instead of the little "race-icon" in front of the number of persons (top line in the details). In pseudo-code: IF <unitID>.gif EXISTS in /res/images/icons/custom/units THEN DISPLAY <unitID>.gif ELSE DISPLAY <existing little raceicon>.gif We as developers would not be responsible for creating the icons or for putting them in the new releases all the time. By creating the /res/images/icons/custom/units-directory in the "magellan-root", players can easily put new icons in without having to muck around in the .jar. It works for the english oil icon, should work for others, too. So aside from adding this feature into the code, it would not cause any more work for developers. Players can then exchange icons with their allies (and enemies), who just put them in the right directory, and see them in Magellan. If more people are going to use this feature, I'd even be more than happy to set up a "library" for the custom icons, where players can download them. This would then be restricted with some guidelines, e.g. icons must be 16x16 pixels, etc. I might even be persuaded to create some left and right. In the exact same way, this might be done for faction specific icons... <factionID>.gif files placed in /res/images/icons/custom/factions could show up instead of the two little heads in front of the faction name in the unit details, allowing players to create their faction's warbanner or crest.

I've been thinking about this a bit more... To avoid having tons of the same .gif files in the custom directories, it might be better to give each unit a tag referring to the gif file to use? One thing I've been wondering, though, also in reference to Fiete's new comment on unit feature... if the information is stored in the .cr, what happens if the tag (or comment) was added to a unit that doesn't show up in the new .cr anymore and this is merged to the older .cr? Does the tag (or comment) then disappear with the unit, or is the information on the (invisible) unit retained within the .cr? [edit] Ok, tested it, and it seems the information is indeed lost. That's too bad. Maybe the first way is handier then, even though it would make for a lot of .gif files. At least they're not that big ;) Ok, enough rambling for now. Khadar |

It is no deal for the code...when implemented have to check what happens, if oversized or animated gifs are used. Like it.... Fiete |

Did exactly like Khadar suggested. res/images/icons/custom/factions res/images/icons/custom/units Fiete |
