1. What do you need? Item, animation, description...?

a. 3 sets of GUI Icon BAMs, one palette-modified from an existing set, the others more extensively modified.
b. 2 spell effect animations (the sort used in VVCs)[EDIT]Eh...

2. Describe the item/whatever in detail! Shape, style, colors...?

a. For each of these I need 3 icons, Scroll, Spell Menu, and Spellbook Page (A, B, and C) style. Files really uploaded this time. <_<

1) The SGRASP set of BAMs from Baldur's Gate 2 (attached for convenience), with the palette modified so that the presently pink picture on the icon appears blue (as with protection spells).
2) Graphic similar to the SPWI304 BAMs from Baldur's Gate 2 (attached for convenience) but visually suggesting electricity rather than flame.
3) The SPPR407 Set of BAMs from Baldur's Gate 2 (attached for convenience) with the palette altered to change the blue graphic to pink, and if possible to remove the cricle around the lightning bolt.
b. The are just spell effect BAMs
1) A green flash producing a ghostly green, transparent anchor graphic, about the height of a character at its greatest expanse and located at roughly a character's chest level and then (ideally) shrinking back to a point, though if this is difficult it can be ignored.. The anchor worked from should be the familiar "fisherman" style anchor (see here).
2) A graphic of a human brain, roughly the width of the character stance, remaining in place as a lightning bolt passes through it, after which it explodes in a flash of light. Coloration isn't a huge issue; whatever looks best or is easiest.
[EDIT]This part probably just isn't gonna happen. Still hoping to hear about the icons, though...

6. Any deadlines?

No firm deadline has been set as of yet.

7. What game and what mod is this for?

Arkalian mod for BG2

8. Anything else you'd like to mention?

I'm likely to have other requests later on. Also, if anyone wants to talk to me in real time about one of these requests, PM me and I can give you an IM name.

It's subtle and insidious, disguised as reasonable precautions which become more and more oppressive over time, until our lives are defined by the things we must avoid. She's easy enough to agree with, after all, she's only trying to help -- and yet she's one of the most dangerous influences we face, because if she prevails, it puts the raping, robbing, axe-wielding madmen of the world in complete control. Eventually they'll barely need to wield a thing, all they'll have to do is leer menacingly and we fall all over ourselves trying to placate them." -godlizard

Bumped.

Any luck with this one yet, Azzy?

:doh: missed it. Actually, I PM'ed Wonnimchunha specifically at K'ae's suggestion and she was able to fulfill most of my spell icons requests (all the ones above, for instance), plus some extras - excellent work, I might add. I haven't heard from her in a while, unfortunately, and there was one that was left hanging. From the email relating to it:

Also, I had another idea for the spell the lightning bolt BAM I requested earlier goes to. Would it be possible to superimpose the skeleton from the SPWI501 series onto the lightning bolt from the SPWI308 series (matching A to A, B to B, C to C), with perhaps a one-pixel outline around the skeleton (tan or gray, as appropriate) to make sure it clearly stands out from the lightning bolt?


The relevant files are attached.

[EDIT]Double :doh: x.x

I managed to get ahold of her and she's completely swamped but expressed her intent to complete this request when she's available.
