V4:Added LSS icon.V3 NOW INCLUDES SMALL FLAMES ON THE IS ICON (thanks Pinball), RIGHT BELOW THE V2 IS ICON!
Pretty much, the title says it all. Below I've tried working my hand at remaking the inventory icons for the GS, IS and Spire. The above ones are the current In-Game ones, and the bottom ones are my remakes, as I'm sure you guys can tell. To the right of each icon I have an ingame picture of the weapon being used, so you can see how accurate the icons I have made are. Without further adu...here they are:
Version 4
New LSS Icon added! I have 2 versions. If you guys like the new small flames on the IS, you can thank Pinball. He helped me a lot with making them. We tried not to make them too big and bulky because it's an icon, yet still gave it some nice flames. You can see it below the V2 IS icon.

Other Icons V1
Thanks to www.jesusland.co.cc for the Candy Cane picture! I made an icon for both blue and green CCs, so you won't have to scroll over to know which one is which now! Also, I redid the short sword, and I have 3 version of a redone dagger. The format is a little different this time, too...

Please comment and tell me what you think!
VERY nice. I like the new GS one, more dignified and fits the old preview of S.O.
The IS inventory icon...eh. I think it strives for more detail. Maybe add a small flame to it like the original?
And spire dagger looks too small in both the inventory and the attacking pose.
I LIKE THEM ... i would be nice to have a change like that
I like the old IS better. The GS... meh I think it should be as it is now. Oh and the spire dagger doesn't look spire-ish.
Sorry if I sound mean or anything. This is just IMO. Anyways, good spriting. :)

Ummm, attacking pose? That is the actual spire dagger size in game, and that icon I made is slightly bigger than a regular dagger, so I was a bit generous >.<
And yeah, I might go back and find a way to add a flame to the IS...I kinda ran out of room for a decent flame and was a little hesitant on shrinking it more...cause I want it to be GS size or slightly bigger so that it accurate...I'm sure I'll find a way.
I love what you did to the GS! I don't know about the IS and Spire Dagger, though...

Maybe it's because of the swing tail that makes the Spire look different to me in the attacking animation. I think the Spire needs a new shape though.
Yeah I always thought that the Spire's shape looked weird.

What your seeing is like, the same thing as a blur of a GS...except the spirte is 2 fast frames. That tail thing your seeing is supposed to be it spiraling out. The dagger itself has the shape I gave it. Look at the picture of the spire ingame I have up there, it is the first frame before the stick uses it, spiraling it out.
I personally really like these new icons, because they look more like the weapons do when you attack. The only thing is that the Spire looks a tad small to me, but that's actually bigger than the attacking animation...meh. Kudos to you, Mr Pwnage.
I really like the all. I think it would look better if inferno was shrunk a tiny bit and had flames added.
I like the gs and the is. But i don't like the spire one. but im one of the few who likes the current spire icon.
I like the GS, although it seems the handle is a darker shade of gold than the attacking animation.
The IS is too fat, honestly it should be roughly the same size as the GS. Flames aren't completely necessary.
I like the spire dagger, although for some reason you changed the sprite for it in the inventory and on the ground. Why is the base of the dagger thinner for the ground sprite, and fatter for the inventory sprite?

Funny you say that about the GS handle, because I used a tool in paint to rip the exact shade from the GS in the in-game pic, its exactly the same.
Yeah, the IS has a slightly fatter shape than the GS, maybe I exagerated it...
And for the spire, thats because there a very feint shade of white outlining it, the same shade as ingame, so the on in the white background you cant see the glowy edge...this wouldnt happen in game though, because the sky is blue.
The GS handle should be more contrasting to the blade. I like the IS icon. Spire, not so much.
I dont like the current spire icon or yours :(
The spire for both of them is too big.(The original is huge)
Also I like your new gs but I think the old inferno is better.
The gs is more like the actuwal gs, which I think is better.
When someone says inferno most people think of flames. If you added fire it would be great.
EDIT:took sprites out and sent to my topic.
Ehhh, Crozier, please don't post your sprites in my topic unless I ask for people to try their hand at making stuff, because than everyone starts commenting on yours and it hi-jacks the topic.
And torch, I could add more contrast between the handle in the blade easily....that is as simple as removing the black outline around the bladed part of the sword. I'll post a version like that a little later.
And, could you guys be more specific when you say "I don't like the spire icon"? Cause personally, and no offence to chaos, but I think the weapon looks horrible to begin with....I'm just making an icon that accurately depicts the weapon...but if you want it to look different you need to give specifics...
Also, I plan on touching up the inferno a bit later.
EDIT: Also, would you guys like to see the spire without the black outline? That may be whats wrong about it. Unless you don't like it in general. All I did was make a new icon the looked similar to the old one, but was graphically touched up, and a more appropriate size....if you want a completely new look, give me a google images picture, please.
These I&S topics are turning this into the Media section.
I don't like any of yours at all and Spire could be a bit smaller not as small as ur icon though. My opinion.
V2 icons are up! I updated all 3 of them! Look under the V1 icons on the first post to see them!
Tell me what you think.
The new stuff isn't showing for me.
EDIT: you got it.
I think the spire dagger got even worse. I hate the extra thick white line as the boarder of the blade.
I reeally like the 2nd spire and 2nd GS. The IS is okay I guess, the flames are kinda missing

Yeah Dan and tons of other people have been telling me that too...I've tried many times but they all came out to be shit...as soon as I end up with a good result I'll post it...
And crozier, look at this ingame pic, there is a white radiance around it. You hate the weapon, not the icon. Also, after seeing the icon you made for it, I cringe at your comments...

I dont hate the wepond I like the item on the ingame picture but I dislike it in the inventory box since the colors dont blend as well.
Just since I dislike yours it doesn't mean mine is good.

Fair enough, but about the colors not blending well....I ripped the colors from the ingame sprite, i did on all of these. So how can the ACTUAL colors not blend well?
I think its because how its smaller and has a thicker glow. Maybe using a lower contrast and my imo maybe adding back the blue spark at the tip.

I think that blue spark looks horrible to be honest. Am I looking at the same dagger you guys are?! Look at the ingame picture I have there, take note how thick the glowing part is...
I don't see how I can improve more more on it, I made it bigger like you all requested, redid the handle a bit, and added back the spire at the end, so if there is ANYTHING else I can do, please tell me now.
As far as I'm concerned, I just have to work on making a good flame for the IS now...if you feel otherwise, saying "it sucks" doesn't really do shit for me...
EDIT: Also guys keep in mind, the Inventory look of it, and the In-Game look are the only 2 that matter, not the one that has a white background. That is just the raw sprite, I made them to go along with the blue background.
Mr Pwnage you sure are putting a lot of work into something that you don't know will be placed in game. And a game that not even in full development. your sure you what to do this.

Wait, what?
Of course the game isn't in full development, these are just simply suggestions. Good ones at that. Plenty others are doing suggestions like these as well, and they're something that they would possibly like to be implemented. So yes, I'm pretty sure they want to do this.
by development i meant this game so2 is not in real development. meaning this game will not be around and superseded by so3. what im trying to get at is this work is going to be gone when so 3 comes here.
Also i know people what to suggest graphics. But this topic has gotten this fare with no word from a gm weather or not they are even many will be approved and used in game.
With these things in Mr Pwnage mind i wanted to ask him whether or not if its worth it to him. And if he does than i don't mind. i just what him to think about that.

ok. hope they get in game.
Great sprites as usual Mr. pwnage. Hopefully these go in game. They are sure worthy of it. +Karma
Edit: Maybe add flames on one side of the inferno sword. Like how Kbob is swinging the inferno in the picture, be kinda cool to add flames.

It's definately a plan, I'm just yet to make a good looking one yet...but they day I get lucky and my final product looks perfect, I garuntee you all will see these desired flames.
GS i'm starting to like cause it looks like it when it swings. IS add flames. Spire dagger shape of it looks alittle bit skinny but its still better than the smaller one it used to be.
THE FLAMING INFERNO SWORD ICON YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IS HERE!
It can be found under the V2 IS icon in the same image. Thanks to Pinball for helping me make it.
Tell me what you think!
I still like the ingame IS better. The GS is starting to look better, actually.
Anyways, this is what I think of when I hear "spire"
(http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:KWjJQL7R49y8JM:http://citybloc.com/featured/building_projects_images/chicago-spire.jpg)
I like the new IS icon. GS hmm i don't know. i like the new icon but not so much. well good spriting :)
new is is nice. it just seem really big now to me. good work and i hope they get implemented.
Just made a new icon for the Legendary Sand Sword. Be sure to check it out and tell me what you think. I'm leaving for a camping trip right now, but I'll be back on Sunday to continue to work on this. Thanks!
The New IS icon is fantastic.
The Sand sword is cool too.
I didn't know it was really red :O

Heh, I think that is the sprite meiun uses when he doesn't have an icon for somthing yet.
the one with out the glow look great. i could see that in game.
The first LSS icon you made i like, the red one looks nothing like and the lighed up one i don't like eather.
Who cares about the LSS icon tbh? Why put a lot of effort into it?
It's only FoG that have it anyway.
They are all good but I dont see much point in changing the LSS icon, there isnt much difference at all!
I care about the LSS icon O:! I really like it, the first version. Very good job
The second version of it looks kinda weird with that glowy outline..

Because other people MIGHT get it.(if it really is the 3rd item added to the game in that update)
It still doesn't really matter. Even if the Sand Sword isn't obtained by anyone else, foG still reaps the benefits of it and could possibly enjoy a nice design change. Even if only one person benefits, it could still be worth it. And it's a really good new icon, too.
Impressive. I particularly like the new IS now that you've added flames to the edges. If Meiun finds these appealing, I see no reason why they shouldn't be added to the game.

Pah. That's just some crazy rumor. It's like saying the King Crown is dropped by BA. I might be wrong, but still. There's no evidence.
What I'm talking 'bout is; why put a lot of effort in making a nice icon when you will almost never see it?
Well now that Mr Pwnage has made a nice icon that's better than the current one, sure put it in game, I wont stop ya ::)
However,
back on topic, I dont really like the big red centra of the IS. That's why I like the current one better atm.. But I've changed my mind after comparing the GS' and I must say your's better than the one ingame. ;) But I still do not like the "spire" dagger how it is now. :(
I think all the new icons are much better than the ones that are currently in use, wether they are used are not i still think you did a great job. Gratz
I like.
Heh, glad you all appriciate my efforts, and have at least found one icon you like. I might, within the hour, shoot Meiun over a PM to see what he thinks...and than I guess time will tell to see what happens.
I officially would really like to see these in-game, as I just got both a GS and a SD in the past three hours and they look kind of unruly in my inventory. However, Mr. Pwnage's are nice and neat. Heh heh.
So, yeah, don't hesitate to PM Meiun.
I may have overlooked an answer to this in the topic, but what's that red sword thing above the LSS section?
Quote from: Epicphail on August 11, 2009, 12:32:12 AM
I may have overlooked an answer to this in the topic, but what's that red sword thing above the LSS section?
The current icon being used for the LSS...it is my understanding that is the icon for all weapons without an icon...primarily mod weapons...and I suppose now the LSS since Meiun didn't have one for it...which is why I made him one.
EDIT: Forgot to ask a question...So, as you all can see I have redone 4 weapon icons, all ones of which I thought were in need...I can't think of anymore that need being redone at the moment, but if you all think there is another icon in need of being redone please let me know. Thanks.
If you redo the GS you have to redo the SS aswell.
Here are some weapons you could redo
-Candy cane
-Whip
-tree branch
-hatchet
-dagger
-ghost lantern
-katana
-short sword
-scythe
-wooden hammer
-stone hammer
-flame gauntlet
-maybe slasher or any gm weapons
Okay guys, I fixed the pictures so that they don't get shrunken, and more importantly, I've added new icons! At the bottom of the first post, you'll find 2 new candy canes (and the current red candy cane). The blue and green CCs can be used for their actual colors now, so that the red CC icon is only for the red CC...currently the red CC is being used for all colors. Next, I've added a new short sword icon, and to the right of that, 3 version of a new dagger icon....I'm going for ingame usage accuracy here.
Tell me what you think!

Thanks to www.jesusland.co.cc for the Candy Cane picture!
Thank YOU for being the first one using our hardwork-images and giving us credits.
However, back on topic. I like the new Short Sword and Dagger. But I still like the old ones :-\ Probably because I'm used to them.

Pretty much more complex and revamped. Much like you remodeled the first 2 weapons.
I like the candy canes. Short sword's pretty cool.
New short sword and dagger smuck.
Candy canes are smexy though.
I like them, I think they look alot better.
The candy canes look the same no offense. SS and dagger to me would look better without gems :o
This topic has helped me seen how much work was put into the weapon your swing. Thank you for Mr Pwnage for putting that into the icon.
(My post is a compliment. some one in game pointed out that my post sounded wrong.)

On a serious note; Pwnage, don't waste your time on this. Sure, they look good etc. but you can't be sure Meiun picks em. He already stated many times that he won't work on SO2 except for adding more stuff to thank the donors. Soon poeple will ask you to remake the Stick character, make a new area, Redo addacking images... And what do we have? "omg it's So3!"
It would be much better to wait for SO3, check out the new style and than make icons IMO.

I asked him that in the past posts and he said he just likes making them. So might as well let him go on. He not bad at it and there always a slight chance of it coming into the game.
