Hmm, debating about changing the Dice to all remain the standard white color but have different colored borders.

Choice A - Colored Base:

I dislike the coloured base and would choose "B" if you're adamant on changing the way they currently look. I would wait to see how the current ones clash with Bard songs before making a decision.

I'd stick with the current set or go with B. I definitely wouldn't use A.

Would it be too much trouble to release a version with the Colored Glow dice? I'm not a big fan of the colored dice in the existing set. I'd be willing to submit some images if that would help.

Also, why change the EXP icon? I thought it was fine...

I tested the glow dice and they ended up looking like crap in-game. The client does some strange image stretching when it actually draws the icons in-game, and so the final outcome isn't nearly as nice looking as the original image.

I don't want to deal with tracking 2 different sets of icons, so you'll just have to live with what's being provided. Or you could modify the file yourself if you really want to, instructions are provided in the zip file on how to do this.

And is there something wrong with the new EXP icon? I didn't make the change (it was from lazureus's work), but the old icon looked virtually identical to the Regen icon. The whole point of this project waw to make sure every icon was unique and could easily be identified as a particular status buff.

Some people requested for the Recolored Coffer DATs, so I uploaded it here. I don't even know if this DAT works anymore, but it's worth a shot.

lol you found my old dat file for the chests.

the chests still work, but there's an error in one of the text files.

133 on the chest should read 113.

I will be putting out an updated version of that.. sometime.

Question. I have gotten to 8Blu and was wondering if you could determine if the Cocoon Def Boost was just a random Def Boost icon or if it was specific to that ability. If its specific, there have to be more Blu buffs that need new icons too ^^.

It uses the generic "Defense Boost" icon which is also shared with Rampart (PLD ability) among other things.

Transparency

Great job here - even more useful than the icons is the method for changing them yourself! Using this I sucessfully extracted the Signet icon, re-coloured it and re-inserted it for both Signet and Sanction.

One thing - I noticed that the alpha channel for the icon was just two-tone black and grey. Is this what FFXI uses for tranparency? Does it not support partial transparency? If I were to make my own icon, how would I go about setting the alpha channel properly?

Well uh I got these icons and I love them alot, but while I've been leveling bard I've noticed some bugs with songs. Ie. I just cast say Min/Mad on the melee and I go to cast Ballad on the mages, my chat log says I gain the effect of both Ballads my icons only read Ballad + the last song I cast on melees most of the time. I am wondering if anyone else has experianced this bug as well and or knows how to fix? Sorry for the anon post but I don't have an LJ or anything. If you want to contact me it is noxsachi@gmail.com

No offense man but this is something all Bards should know. . . if you cast Minuet/Madrigal or any other song for that matter with an instrument that gives +1 or +2 to that song and then cast 2x ballad (or any other song without +1/+2 instruments) right after only the last ballad will stick because there's no instruments for ballad (except for final relic horn), thus making it "weaker" and giving it lower priority. If you want to prevent this from happening you have to wait a few seconds before casting the 2nd ballad or skip using +1/+2 to song instruments for minuet/madrigal/whatever.

People usually cast melee buffs and then run back to mages to cast ballad1 and ballad2 in that order. Unless you hit your mages with melee buffs before they will get the effect of both ballads (3mp/tick) while you only get the effect of ballad 2 (2mp/tick) which is better than ballad 1 (1mp/tick) without wasting time standing around.
