Icons

[the2ndone]

Is there any one that can make me a set of Icons of letters of the alphabet?
I have a few macro of mana flow set up and I want to make the icon the first letter of the persons name. or if there is a icon pack already out there where can i find it.

thanks

Well, sorta. IIRC, you can always replace some icons by making your own icon DDS files and putting them in place of the SOE ones, however that'll mean that anything that used the old icon would now use your replaced icon. So in order to make letters, you'd have to:

First, find 26 icons that you have access to in-game and wouldn't mind being changed (ie some of the regular macro icon choices)
Them, find them in the icon DDS files and create new versions of those files with the icons replaced by the letters.

I believe it is also possible to hack the icon of a hotkey (assigned a macro) to reference another icon you have the icon ID for. How to do this...

1) On your main toon, drag the macros you want to customize to a hotbar

2) now save your hotkeys to a txt file.

3) create a new character of a class you don't think you'll ever use.

4) on that toon, make macros that use the icons of any class abilities who's icons you are unlikely to use on your main or see applied by an NPC or another toon.

5) Drag the icons to a hotbar and save the hotkeys to a txt file.

6) open the txt file, icon ID should be number immediately after the word "macro"

7) copy past IDs from the alt's hotkey file over to your main's file.

8) on your main, load the edited hotkeys.

The loaded hotkeys should be using the new icons. Now if you want to, you can figure out what DDS files contain those icons and change their graphics.

Note: I'm not entirely sure that number in the hotkey file is in fact an icon reference, but I seam to recall that's what it is.
