[Request] Icons for Fort mod

[orzelek]

I'm looking for some nice icons for fort mod upgraded walls/gates/turrets.

why you not use your ingame gfx and scale it down to icons or render the models in icon-size ?
if someone would make the icons, needed at least a list what you need if it should different from ingame-gfx.

I don't have new in-game graphics - those are only turrets and walls/gates. Could play with tinting a bit maybe.
After playing a bit with the mod I have an impression that all the levels in between might not be needed so it's to do atm.

i have confused your mod with other - but it's hard to find a entry-point because you have not give the things new names all is only more reinforced.
if you want have stage-icons, add to every icon a star(*) or a plus(+) in different colors or numbers.

if you want different ingame-gfx you need to rename you turrets, like double-gun turret, quad-gun, laser-double, big-laser, pulse-laser (values behind can stay) etc. same i suggest for the walls (even DEF-Tec W1500 if you like), so everyone can imagine name=picture.
sure i can make a ingame-laser-turret-gfx and add 6 armor-plates/batterys to look the 6 stages different but is same boring as switching colors.
i really hope you give your mod more personal and independent style.

and i hope you don't misunderstand me.

Main idea behind the mod was to add some sort of armor/range upgrade to turrets - thats why they were meant to keep base idea behind those.
Ideally this would be done as upgrades only without new items but upgrade system can't be extended like that.

Making different types of turrets - that would be potentially cool if I could find some nice way to differentiate turrets like that.
It's not only graphics wise - it would need some in game mechanics to differentiate. Without that you will always use longest range/highest damage turrets. So they would need to be either very costly or hard to get. Some of that is already added by DyTech for example for various costly item combinations up to very high range/damage laser turrets.

maybe this helps you a little

[orzelek]

Thanks for those.

2 distinct sets of markers on icons makes me think about making two separate tech lines for turrets.
Ones with shield would be current reinforced ones - not sure what to make with stripy ones yet

[YuokiTani]

you need to specify what you want - if you don't know sure what you want - who else ?

example:

Sorry for not being clear. That larger set is nice - I just need to figure out how I would divide turrets into two differing types.
It won't be any time soon I think - I have noticed that there are much nicer mods in the works for turrets.

Could you make few more icons with this gold shield: gate item icon and wall&gate research icons (since those seem to have different research and item icons)?

[YuokiTani]

[orzelek]

Thanks
I'll add those when updating mod for 0.12. One of big ones will go for the menu.. hard choice tho
Can you make also small gate with gold shield?

[YuokiTani]

the first icon is the original gate icon, but okay if you had this in mind.

[orzelek]

Yeah might have confused actual gate look with the icon for it. Thanks for the icons.
