Data/Icon Image Question...

**initiatezao** · April 15th, 2006, 12:38

First I wanted to thank everyone for the amount of helpfullness I have found throughout the forums. Many questions have been answered without even asking them, just by looking through past posts.

I am new to Fantasy Grounds and am attempting to do a dark sun ruleset.

My question being is there a way to edit the data/icon folder images. I am an artist and have attempted to change all the interface graphics from shiny golden buttons to more appropriate desert wracked bone buttons. I have kept the sizes and shapes exactly the same saving the images as .png through Photoshop. Unfortunately when I start Fantasy Grounds as DM, it shows the default shiney gold icons. Even though I deleted the images and replaced them with new ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

The information you likely require can be found here.

(Found by searching for "custom ruleset". Of course, this thread is a sticky!)

Check out the second page of that thread where there is someone with a question about images.

Later.

Thanks so much. Read throught that thread and another one and it works great, much better mood and feel with these graphics than default.

So I have been working on figuring out all the graphic interface stuff, thanks to some of the posts here and some screwing around with xml files. Did a graphic update using old book textures, guildwars.com icons and a cool guildwars wallpaper since my desert bone icons sucked once I saw them all in fantasy grounds.

Here is a screenshot: https://fallensunasylum.org/images/screenshot.jpg I am running widescreen laptop that why its 1680x1050.

Now I need to learn the actual game. haha. Looking forward to messing around with everything that I can. Will post more screenshots when I learn how to draw better icons... Oh well thanks again everyone for help.

Anyone have a date for 1.06 patch? Not gonna mess too much with deep moding until it comes out.

Looks very good, nice job.
Have you thinked making the referencebox's middlebox tranclucent, so the books text comes a little bit visible from behind?

Yesterday I was proud of my own custom-skin and today I have to start build new one to match this one even little.

We who cling to the default skin as children clutch their safe little teddy bears appreciate your work and say.....

Good for you, but Noooooo! Noooo!

It looks nice though

Thats a good idea on the reference box Kvald thanks I will try that. And lol Sigurd thanks, for whatever reason I could never leave good enough alone. Some OCD of sorts. Before I got bored stiff of WOW I messed with all the interface options there too.
