Rogue Join Menu Icon
Rogue Join Menu Icon
As those of you who use 2.0.3b10 have by now probably noticed, the Join Menu in 2.0.4 will have a colored icon next to the team name. See http://dtremenak.bakadigital.com/joinp.png if you don't know what I'm talking about. Anyway, the discussion came up about what color the Rogue tank icon should be...so you choose. Rogue chat text and bullets are yellow, but their actual tanks are dark grey. So...Saturos has kindly made both a yellow and a grey-backgrounded tank icon, like the purple one you see in the screenshot. Both are posted here, the grey one in the "BZIcons again" thread in this forum, and the yellow one in the 2.0.3b10 test thread. Which shall it be?

personally i think it should be yellow (vote is cast), but i have one suggestion.
I think it would look nicer if the gap between the field name and the field itself should be larger, e.g. the gap between "Team" and "Purple Team" in your screen shot.
I just think it all looks a bit cramped.

I like grey, because it goes with the colour of the tank, but each has their own opinion. I wouldn't mind yellow, but it would be nice to stick to the colour of tank = colour of icon scheme.
Does the walker choose the path or does the path choose the walker?

For automatic I made this:

Hey, I know what would be cool!
If each of the flags had a different icon, and the icon was displayed on your screen with/instead of the text in the top right hand corner. you could have the option in the GUI menu to have Icon, Text, or both displayed on your screen.
Oh and saturos, do you use photoshop to make those icons? if you do can you send me the .PSD file?

I would say adding 46 icons for flags would boost the file-size of the BZFlag-installer a lot. BZFlag was always small and I think a dev-target is to keep it small.
But ideas for icons come to my mind... it would be exciting, no doubt.

The icons are only 5 kb... if you say there's 15 flags, that's only 75 extra KB. Plus you can compress the PNG's.Saturos wrote:I would say adding 46 icons for flags would boost the file-size of the BZFlag-installer a lot. BZFlag was always small and I think a dev-target is to keep it small.

46*5=230 KB. Might be okay, you are right. But I would say it is going to be veeery difficult to create an unique icon for every flag... challenge or impossible?
I don't know.

If flag icons are made:
For instance,
L4m3r: killed by Wonko The Sane (SW -> SR)
or
L4m3r (SR): killed by Wonko The Sane (SW)
something like that?
- Make the icon show on the flag when a tank is holding it.
- Make the icons show on all flags when the Identify flag is held.
- Possibly add a (server) option that makes all the icons show all the time?
For instance,
L4m3r: killed by Wonko The Sane (SW -> SR)
or
L4m3r (SR): killed by Wonko The Sane (SW)
something like that?
Optimism is just a milder alternative to denial.
They do. Go download 2.0.3. However, it only affects the obituaries of you.Also, on the same subject, I would really like it if the "obituaries" in the console said what flags the combatants had.
I just downloaded 2.0.3b11. The icon for Automatic is the same for Rogue, which is the gray icon. As I see it currently, Automatic should be the ? with tie-dye and Rogue should be the yellow tank.

Cool....For SW, you could show a bunch of ripples. GM: a missle. Inverse Controls: Colliding arrows.
Genocide should have an icon that looks like a mushroom cloud from an A-Bom explosion --- Anybody who has played Ratchet & Clank will now this is the icon for the "R.Y.N.O" gun that has ultimate devistation properties similar to that of GENO.[/quote]
