[(BG2) Bug] Scrolls with cropped inventory icons (0815)

Current behaviour: Several spell scrolls have their inventory icon BAMs cropped from the right. To be clear, I am referring to the icon BAM displayed when the item is occupying an inventory slot. I've attached a screenshot to demonstrate.

Expected behaviour: The scrolls affected should have their icon BAMs restored. The BAMs in BG1 are uncropped and do not suffer from this problem. Here is a list of the scrolls affected:

scrl5a    Mental Domination
scrl5b    Defensive Harmony
scrl5c    Protection From Lightning
scrl5d    Protection From Evil 10' radius
scrl5e    Champion's Strength
scrl5f    Chaotic Commands
scrl5g    Remove Curse
scrl5h    Emotion
scrl5i    Greater Malison
scrl5j    Otiluke's Resilient Sphere
scrl5k    Spirit Armor
scrl5l    Polymorph Other
scrl5m    Polymorph Self
scrl5n    Domination
scrl5o    Hold Monster
scrl5p    Chaos
scrl5q    Feeblemind

Games affected: BG2, BGEE.

Notes: These scrolls' icon BAMs are cropped in BG2, as well.

    Update: I've just confirmed these scrolls' icon BAMs are cropped in BG2, as well. Movin' this thread on over to the BG1/BG2 forum.

    Feel free to take the fixed BAMs from the BG2 Fixpack. I made them so you have my permission.

    Using the ones from the fixpack removes the cropping, but the images are noticeably smaller than the other scrolls :(

    @SethDavis - do you think you could devise a workaround that removes the cropping without making the scrolls look smaller? That would be really A.

    FWIW, the BG1 icons do not appear to suffer from any cropping. Dunno how they would look in-game though.
  • AndreaColomboAndreaColombo Member Posts: 5,533
    In fact, I see no reason why BG:EE shouldn't make extensive use of BG1 icons. Apart from the fact that they look vastly better than BG2 icons, it would also be more consistent.

    Well... crap. To make those I just pulled a working scroll icon into photoshop, dumped the spell graphic, and then layered the xxxB (or xxxA or xxxc?) version of the spell and cleaned up the edges. I doubt I have my old PSD, but I'll check. Even if not it really wouldn't be too hard to re-do.

    @CamDawg - That would be great ^^. I have the PhotoShop skills of a one legged newt... if newts are supposed to have legs....

    I'm not seeing a difference with the Fixpack BAMs. They look fine on my build (see attached image). I've attached a zip of the BAMs if anyone else wants to drop them in their override and check out before and after.

    @CamDawg - But how do they look when placed beside a scroll that was not having a clipping problem?

    On my screen they are either smaller, or aren't receiving the same centering as the other scrolls.
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    Looking at @CamDawg 's image, to me, it looks like the scrolls aren't properly centered on his screen either.

    Both his scrolls and one of yours look like they are slightly off to the bottom right corner.
  • CamDawgCamDawg Member, Developer Posts: 3,438
    Ah, I see what you mean now. It's actually not a size issue (the replacement and original BAMs are both 32x32) it's an offset problem. The replacements are shifted three pixels right and one further down compared to the other scroll BAMs. Should be a pretty straightforward adjustment in BAM Workshop; I'll post another batch once I've got them sorted. Here's what your graphic would look like with the shift (QnD from Photoshop):

    Alright, take two is attached.
  • SethDavisSethDavis Member Posts: 1,812
    @CamDawg - They should be good. Thanks ^^
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    @SethDavis

    This has already been fixed?
  • SethDavisSethDavis Member Posts: 1,812
    @Tanthalas - Not sure, there were no BAMs in the modification process before I added these, so I dont know if they are working. I'll move it to being worked on just in case.
  • SethDavisSethDavis Member Posts: 1,812
    This looks to have made it in. Moving to unconfirmed.

    Sleep next to Feeblemind for an easier comparison. I'm not sure if I see something myself.

    A real problem right now is that you have to resize your window manually to find a "resolution" where there are no graphical muck-ups.

    Confirmed fixed. - by looking at the screenshot @Humanoid_Taifun provided.
    Taifun, look at the shots CamDawg provided. The right sides of the icons are cut off on it.

    @Avenger_teambg Yeah, you're right. Sorry, I was just very tired at the time of posting.

    No problem at all. I didn't confirm this because i didn't know what to look at first :D
