Halsoy's collection of magically enchanting things and dings

[Silencer]

These have been approved. Some are already implemented. The auraxium superman and topgun top view may still be used for other achievements. (very likely they're quite good)

Figured I might as well make use of this new subforum for the icons/backgrounds. I guess you can call it a "doublepost", but I'll have everything in this OP (including suggestions on icons/any new backgrounds)

Achievement icon suggestions/pending:

Superman (normal): Top Gun front view:
One man to farm them all: Thread the needle: Instant Action: Maximum Damage (new upated version):
He's on Fire: Pistol Whipped (Indiana Jones reference): Sidearm Slayer: Run and Handgun:

One request I have is when you save future icons, could you do it without hyphens? Instead of Run-and-Gun, save it as RunAndGun. Don't worry about changing existing ones.

Thanks. I'm currently adding in ones that didn't make it into 10.2.8 now.


Edit: Max specific ones have been approved. Just added in 3 new achievements.
RadLock did an excellent job with these vocals too. Can't wait until people start getting them.9

[halsoy]

Cool And yes, I'll make sure to do that. It's just how Photoshop saves files unless I write them all in one, will fix from now on. /me starts hunting MAX's to get the new achievements

Edit: by that I obviously mean "gets in a MAX suit"... I'm just so damn used to killing the damn things. Might have to actually play as one now. The horror!

Added two more icons that you guys could review.

[Silencer]

Achievement icon suggestions/pending:

Iced (this is completely different than the standard icons): Sometimes I Impress myself (not too happy with this, made it mostly to fill an empty slot):

The iced one goes with the man on fire one pretty well.

The sometimes I impress myself is even a question mark in-game, so it will be nice to replace it.


Also we have animation working really well now in our development builds. If you ever want to do anything for more rare achievements like make the background glow or move in a few frames we can try it out. I can picture Sometimes I impress myself one with the purple background moving / glowing /etc.

[Silencer]

If you want to try your hand at something else...






We could use better up/down icons below the killboard, and a better hovercard background. The background would be nice to get to match the real in-game ps2 tool tips.

In fact, if you wanted to come up with a layout of useful information all together per hovercard that would be really helpful too.


By the way, some really cool things coming.

Just as a quick draft, something like this?

Arrow:

Popup window:

[Silencer]

That looks great. I was thinking avout making the hover card vertically longer, and include other information like the killcount your opponent has on you/vise versa. I can probably just resize it myself though.

[halsoy]

(the one above is 512 pixels)

150 pixels vertical:

200 pixels vertical:

Edit: derp, I could've sworn I saw "horizontal" lel... 2 sec making vertical.

Let me know if the opacity needs adjustment or anything else. Also, whatever size needed can be done.

[Silencer]

I'll give this a try tonight. It looks great, thanks!

[Silencer]

Here it is so far.

There's something weird going on with the alpha channel on the top left / bottom right edges though.

The overall transparency may be a bit too much also. I'm not overriding anything using our system, just the unedited image.
