Additional Icons: Specific Suggestions

S

Silveras

Well-known member
We've had calls for more/new icons before, but I thought I'd take a few minutes to put together a list of specific suggestions, and urge other to do the same.

EDIT: As I think of new suggestions, and add them here, I will note them as "(added date)". I do not expect to make note of them being added to Realm Works here, if any actually are.

Load your own icon would be nice but might be difficult with import-export of stuff.
Maybe if we have to provide one of the default icons as well, that RW can fall back on if it cannot find the custom icon. When selling stuff one could add a little icon pack that the enduser could opt to import or not.

Well, not a high priority for me but we can always make wishes :-)
 
But you've put "(added <date>)" to the list.
Some people might think that this is when it was added into RW :-)
 
Just noting that I added more suggestions on Feb 25 and today. I also changed the notation "Added date" to "Suggested date".
 
+1 to this. From the beginning, I've wanted more icon choices. It would be great if there were some specs available so that users could either sell (or just give to the community) more icons that we could add. I'm sure there are already a lot of public domain icons out there that could be used.

Having said this, I would definitely want the selection of choices to be user definable or we would be inundated with options includes those of no use to us.
 
I started making custom categories (to get rid of specific unused fields) and found a few extra icons makes quick, mark-1 eyeball scans of the almanac much faster.

Here are a few icons that would make things nicer - that I don't see in your list
Watch Tower
Gate
Castle Tower
Caster Tower (good)
Caster Tower (evil)
Clocktower
Parliament/Library Building
Arena/Amphitheater
Theater
Shrine/Garden
Fountain
Statue/Plaza
Church
Temple
Cathedral
Shop
Alchemist
Stable
Corral?
Tavern/Resturant
Cafe/Food stall
Inn
(you already have House)
Multistory Urban (aka apartment)
Mansion/Manor
Warehouse/Factory
Wind Mill
Water Mill
Dock/Pier


Some other thoughts:
Dragons?
Boats and Ships
Vehicle Types
(you have some item types in there already - when I make custom types I will need to see if there are more suggestions down that line)

Good list, goldscarab, those would be useful, too.

Additionally, I could use some more icons for modern and sci-fi settings (concrete sky-scrapers, glas-and-steel-skyscrapers, modern weapons, Erlenmeyer flask, Petri dish...).
 
+100,000,000

I need more MODERN ICONS!!

Suggestions:

Bullet-Proof Vest for Armor
Computer Chip for hacking devices, computer systems, etc.
Toolbox
Wrench
Robot
Soldier / Trooper silhouette
Skyscraper
Sewer Pipe
 
Rather than request icons, I would like the ability to import your own custom icons. Not that I necessarily want to spend the time making my own, but it would be great if I could be a icon packs on in the Content Market and if icons could be customized for a specific campaign, so content creators can offer thematically appropriate icons with their settings and adventure content.
