Way to Inject your own icons into Portal.dat

Post #1 »

Ive been itching for a way to add in my own art into AC in some way.

Does anyone have any thought on a way to inject custom icons into an AC plugin. Specifically Im looking to add my own Icons into the Chaos Control plugin.

A bonus would be to be able to make my own vtank UI theme.

Chaos Helper pulls directly from the client portal.dat to assign icons by ID.

You could request custom icon ability from Invisible Fire on the Chaos Helper thread. It would be trivial to allow you to set an image.



You can replace world textures in AC as long as they are exactly the same size, and the UI can still be customized like the old UI skins pre-ToD, but with the float windows now it's a bit of a waste of time.


Custom VVS Themes are easy, there's a tool specifically for it.

I did some work on Color Blind friendly themes but never finished.
