Thanks, now that was fast :) (no pun intended lol)

Hmm would we be able to the alter lines to very thin bright orange instead. I think it overlaps a bit with the existing red in armor. Is that ok?

Thanks for the responses guys, I updated the main thread, with a few requests maybe you might consider.

@mnadeau1992: Go

Thanks :)

@BlueFacedGit: Go

Yea would really appreciate your help. Tried to give some more info on the abilities.

@XYZMuffin: Go

Hehe, welcome to do more, or add a little glow to the Nuclear Strike one :)

@Cromalic: Go

Sure, free to use them.

@LunarisDream: Go

Very nice gallery you have there. Well most of the icons are recolors at the moment, feel free to have a go :)

@Fullachain: Go

A guy told me to do the following: - Use Gimp to open up image. - Add an Alpha Channel layer. - Save the file as .dds with with BC3/DXT5 compression. - Import and it should work.

It still unfortunately blocks out buttons completely, as in the picture in first post.

Has anyone been able to add alpha layers to Icons for SC2. If so how please?

Updated the main thread with what's been done so far, thanks for the help. Still could use some more icons if anyone's willing and especially effects now.

@XYZMuffin: Go

Oh sorry, I meant adding an alpha channel, so it can be used in the Editor to overlap buttons etc.

@XYZMuffin: Go

Oh thanks. Is there a method in which I can achieve the same with the colored/altered icon version?

@XYZMuffin: Go

Ah ok got ya thanks.

Well for war3, there was a cool tool War3Viewer, which auto added alpha channels onto icons for you. Wonder if that will still work, or someone may make a similar tool for SC2.

EDIT: I think it was specifically made for 64x64 icons :-(

Anyone got any ideas?

So I imported my first custom Icon, it works fine, except it now visually blocks buttons behind it.

When I use standard sc2 icons, they don't and can have them together, i.e. making a click able icon.

EDIT: Has anyone been able to add alpha layers to Icons for SC2. If so how please?

@XYZMuffin: Go

Thanks alot, it really looks great.

If you added a minor, thin bright glow just around the cloud. I think it would make a little better and more visually impressive, but not essential.

Of course am always happy to give more requests whenever you get time. Thanks again.

@Moooyaah: Go

I tried the move instantly, doesn't seem to do anything. Let me show you with pictures.

Here I place a Forge, as you can the green part of terrain is warped around it and it goes down.

Here is the Barracks, instead of the green terrain warping the barracks is just shifted sideways.

Yet if I do it in the editor the Barracks will go down fine.

I checked stats, both are Footprint 3x3, tried reducing Barracks radius to Forge's radius as well but nothing.

@Moooyaah: Go

Well I think I might have fiddled with the Forge stats. It's kind of something I did a month ago and am now coming back to adding extra unit placement i.e. Barracks.

As for the code it's: Unit - Create 1 Deck Unit[(Triggering player)] for player (Triggering player) at (Center of Spawn Locations[(Triggering player)]) facing 270.0 degrees (No Options)

Deck Unit - This is unit you pick at selection, which can vary. Spawn Location - This is the spawn location I've setup per player.

@XYZMuffin: Go

Yea of course that's perfectly fine.

Currently I'm using quite a few of the SC2 icons, would you be willing to add color to some of them?

• Icon - terran-nuclearstrike - Orange/Yellow added so it's more like this:

• Icon - protoss-arguslink - Blue/Purple added:

• Icon - terran-defensivematrix - Green addedd:

If not I can give you some others, see how you feel with them or even ideas for new stand alone ones. Thanks.

Hiya,

I've been working on this project for well over a month now and so far have made alot of progress. It's testable single player, almost playable multiplayer and I'm hoping to have it all ready for the SC2 official game release.

The map in short is basically of Castle Fight with some Card Game elements. Basically you have two opposing teams on either side of the map, players can summon units, create structures and cast spells. Typically summoned units are uncontrollable and automatically aggressively seek out the enemy team. The players goal is guide and assist them with more reinforcements and spells in an attempt to destroy his opponents.

So far everything is looking good, but visually would like to take the map to a new level. What I'm basically looking for is:

• Icon Artists: Someone capable of making smallish icons 76x76, mainly for spells. Many of the already existing SC2 ones could use some color and of course simply brand new ones would be fantastic.
• Effect Makers: Someone skilled in creating minor buff/aura/explosive type effects. Typically for on units and small locations.
• Idea Brainstormers: Someone who really enjoys the Castle Fight genre and whom is also equally passionate about Card Games. Has plenty of time to review my deck lists for feedback, criticism, ideas and maybe even run some map tests from time to time.

Any questions feel free to ask, I really am fully committed and working very hard on this project everyday. Anyone who likes the sound of this and would like to help out, it would really be appreciated, thanks.

REQUESTS

Hope you guys might consider some of these. They could use some color, I tried to give a brief spell description and how I think the icon should end up. Hopefully that will help.

Blood Bath spell that debuffs a unit causing it to slowly erode and explode on death, healing all your friendly units nearby with the blood spatter. Pretty straight forward this one :) The pic below should help but keep in mind it will have a dark black background!

>> >>

Plague spell that debuffs an enemy unit infecting it with a deadly plague, which withers it's health down and also spreads on to nearby enemy units. The face should be made grey/white and the surrounding various shades of green. The icon after depicts the color scheme very well.

Infest spell that injects parasitical lifeforms into a target unit, causing new units to burst into life should this unit die. Ideally the organism should be brown and the tendrils pink. Various shades of those colors would be nice :)

<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>

Lastly, If someone would prefer to make a fresh new icon. I could really use one for another spell called Flame Burst. It's fires a ball of hot plasma at a unit. Here is a pic of it in game (it's the Yamato Cannon Missile effect)

Here's also an old War3 icon as an idea, something like that would be great, facing any angle.

Here's the colors and theme that would be a appropriate in a fireball like shape.

Let me know what you think, Thanks.

When I create a Barracks at a certain location (Hilly with different terrain) via triggers, it always automatically get nudged slightly to the side. How can I prevent this?

When I do this with a Forge it doesn't happen!!

I assume it's something to do with the Building placement requirements of the Barracks.

Looked extensively in the data editor for it, can't see anything. Any ideas?

Thanks alot for the tut, just made an ability from it.

Maybe adding a little part on the effects, might take it a step further, one for caster one applied on units effected.
