Ability icons - can you modify them?


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Josh said in a recent stream that all the icons (for abilites in the class trees) will most likely not change because it would be too much work - because there are too many.

 

I don't know if he meant the beta or the final game as well.

 

However - this made me think: is it possible to mod the icons? I have some experience with the creation of icons and would like to make my own, distinct ones for stuff like Two Weapon Style and such.

 

Does anybody know?

i remember asking about how moddable particularly on the UI aesthetics. the current tooltip on characters/monsters the yellowish gradient look so offensive to me personally. i really like to change the color gradient myself. plus would want a golden circle instead of green. IIRC dragon age origins they have golden circles beneath characters instead of green.

So... nobody knows? Or where they sit so that I can extract them from the correct file without searching around too much? Or is there a doc? I really don't want to find out all by myself.  ;)

According to bb_abilities.gamedatabundle, the icons for abilities are at directories like 'gui/icons/abilities/chanter/dull_the_edge.png'. So, probably somewhere in 'assetbundles/gui.unity3d', but I don't know how to extract those or if they can be overridden like stuff in the 'exported' folder.

Thank you. :)

 

Yes, right. In the meantime I downloaded some tools and (dot)peeked into the assetbundles.

 

Now I have to figure out how to put new ones in...

Yeah, that's the hard part.  Getting them out, then finding a way to put new ones in. All of the GUI elements for Eternity 1 (aside from specific ability icons) for example were all in one huge bundle.

Same here as it seems. One big GUI bundle.

 

I was hoping I could just put new png-icons into an override folder and also put there the modded json file for the abilities which would have altered paths for the icons.

 

Shouldn't that be possible?
