What makes a icon passive?

 

[Grymlax]

Glad you liked it Vestras

What makes a icon passive?

black boarders. but if you look at blizzard icons you will also see that they fade in a little.

I usually just copy this icon over the the btn icon i've made. that is what i used to make the passive icon in my previous post.

I need this icon +rep is awarded...

Name Idea: Frostfire Bolt
Autor: Anyone
Theme: Half Fire, Half Frost
Notes: the idea of a split image between a frostbolt and a fireball imgs from WoW its a very good one

EDIT: I made one by myself... if you upload it im still givin rep

 

[Dirac]

I made some icons, im posting em here

 

[Exfyre]

wow i really like the second one (and not too much impresses me). I might just have to steal it. The first one doesn't look that great to me though. GJ on the shield!

 

[Dirac]

Its time for some information payback.

I made my icons, but i realized that some of their "color tones" are missing, i know that BNT(icon name) stands for the regular one and DISBNT(icon name) might stand for some passive setting? plz someone post all prefixes

 

[lindenkron]

BTN (Standard)
DISBTN (Standard -> When in "Pause mode")

PAS (Passive)
DISPAS (Passive -> When in "Pause mode")

ATC (Active)
DISATC (Active -> When in "Pause mode")

Only ones I think you need to know of

BTN border is a normal border you can copy from any icon.
DIS border is usually blade fade edges, and 50% darker.
PAS usually is same as DIS except its not 50% darker, but still with the dark fade edges.
ATC has a special yellow corner border. (You can copy it from another icon)

Hope I helped!

thnx for the additional info, but... In the hero learn ability window when gaining a lvl, if no more lvls are available my ability turns green. Happens the same thing when opening the Game Menu.

 

[lindenkron]

Why not use this one?

Well you probably typed something wrong, or forgot an icon .
What type of abiltiy is it? Post the paths to the icons in the import manager and ill see

Game menu = "Pause", as I wrote above

 

[Dirac]

Ok. But, what's the difference between BTN and PAS or ATC, i can create a BTN icon with dark borders and still apply it to a passive ability

+rep for the info/img

BTN = Button. Meaning a normal "Use ability" that costs mana, and the player use himself.
PAS = Passive. Vampiric aura, the user dont do anything, he just put a skillpoint in it, and gains a buff.
ATC = Have the possibility for a right-click, leaving it on ATC (Auto attack).

Hope this helped abit

 

[Dirac]

Yeah, i understad the difference between Passive/Active/Autocasts. The thing is, why separating em? you can create a icon with autocast border and add the BTN prefix, import it, and use it with no problem at all.

Good News! I came up with the answer to this problem

Bad News! the answer sucks!!

You must manually set the path to each icon from "w3imported\BTNIconName" to "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNIconName" or "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNIconName" according to the needs... Also i found out that if the name of the icon is too long it just Wont Work and if those paths are not correct NEITHER

 

[lindenkron]

Not sure I understand what you are saying, but those paths are the correct paths. And work fine for me

 

[Grymlax]

well you could import passive icons with btn boarders but the passive path is good if you also want to import a btn icon becouse then you won't need to change the name of the icon.

 

[Dirac]

Some more spell icons..

Thnx to free_killing for the ice chains img
