[MOD] Remastered Spell Icons (v1.2)

edited February 21 in General Modding
This mod remasters all spell and special ability icons, as well as scroll icons. It is compatible with BG:EE, SoD, BG2:EE, IWD:EE, it patches vanilla UI to allow to display icons in HD even on scaled or zoomed interface.
It is also compatible with latest versions of my UI mods Infinity UI++ and Pocket Play UI++ (comaptibility is built in, no patching UI.menu), install RSI after UI mods.
I also included remastered spell icons for my other mods More Style for Mages and Spontaneous Casting, they will be available if this mod is installed after them.
For non-iwd games, there is an installation option to add iwd-style green summoning spell icons.

V1.1 adds compatibility with LeUI (patches UI.menu).

Installation:
Download the mod from GitHub and extract the zip file in the game's core folder (the one with a file "chitin.key" in it) and run "Setup-remastered_spell_icons.exe".

If you purchased your BG:EE game from Steam or GoG and you have a SoD expansion installed as well, you need to first install DLC Merger before installing any mod.

    Amazing work! Did you use some form of AI upscaling?

    This is a really beautiful work.

    Looks neat. Heads up though, the line for MSFM looks up for a "remastered_spell_icons/content/mods/msfm/base" directory, but there's no base folder in msfm.

    I was testing many tools for a long time, but wasn't satisfied with any, so I ended up redrawing them by hand. Which wasn't ultimately that much work, I think I spent more time fruitlessly on the AI upscaling tools :).

    Thanks, I released a fix.

    They look very fancy, Pecca. Great work!

    Does this mod install with IWD spells in BG? Like, when those are installed via IWDification/SCS/Talents of Faerun?

    I assume this mod could go after them, and it would just overwrite the icons, but I'm not sure if the naming is consistent.

    Thanks!

    Compatibility with IWDfication is not yet part of the mod. Though it should be straightforward, there are definitely some conflicts and I would need to inspect the mod first. However I will be focusing on Infinity UI for some time now and come to mod compatibility later.

    Truly an amazing accomplishment!

    I was going to ask whether it was possible to do the same for item icons, perhaps ever re-establishing vanilla behavior with the zoomed-in icons, but if you did everything by hand it would be an exceedingly time-consuming endeavor.

    Kudos for releasing this :)

    I think item icons could be remastered with AI tools actually, unlike spell icons, the assets are much better quality. I have no such plans though :).

    @Pecca
    Wonderful work. I am impressed. It cost you a lot of time for sure.
    Would it be possible to make the icons of prepared spells a little smaller so that they fit in the frame?
    I am using LeUI mod

    Every UI overhaul mod needs to be handled separatedly. When I have time I'll add LeUI compatibility.
  • PeccaPecca Member Posts: 2,215
    Lefreut did that for me so I released a new version with LeUI compatibility.

    this amazing !! mod !! thanks

    After having installed the remastered spell icons v 1.1, I get the following error:

    The game start normally and the spell icons in mage and priest books are scaled properly.
  • PeccaPecca Member Posts: 2,215
    As I understand from g3 forum, it should be fixed on LeUI side.
  • AndreaColomboAndreaColombo Member Posts: 5,530
    @Pecca - does your mod cover ability icons as well? They are similar to spell icons in that they are fairly low res. Having your spiffy icons for spells and the original icons for abilities would create a rather stark contrast.
  • PeccaPecca Member Posts: 2,215
    It does, as is stated in the first sentence of the OP. :)

    Do you have plans to also add DavidW's Talents of Faerun new spells and abilities to your mod ?
  • PeccaPecca Member Posts: 2,215
    In the future yes, I'd like to add popular spell mods, though first I would need to scan how much work would that be. But now I'm focusing on InfinityUI.

    Looking really nice. :)

    Is this modification also compatible with your old DragonspearUI++ ?

    No patching DUI.

    @Pecca Brilliant work!

    Being that whirlwind and greater whirlwind HLAs are both offensive abilities would you be willing to make a version of spcl900b and spcl901b in red?
  • PeccaPecca Member Posts: 2,215
    I thought about that, along with making elemental transformation priest spell white. In the end I decided not to, because I was too used to the blue color that it didn't click well with me. But I may include an option in the future

    Thank you for your reply, I would certainly vote for the option.

    Interessanter Mod obwohl ich weniger magische Fähigkeiten nutze, aber ich würde sehr gerne auf eine deutsche Übersetzung warten und es ausprobieren :)

    @Pecca I believe this is the new standard for Icons in IE games. I am helping another modder with their icons and would like to copy your color coding and methodology for it. Would it be possible for you to briefly explain it, since it seems to change between IWD and BG. Also I edited some base icons due to the spells provided, for example one of the additional spells the modder has added is Improved Magic Missile and I modified a version of the base BAM to differentiate it. Would it be possible to have permission to the same with those icons in your pack?

    I wanted to report some a few inconsistencies in your mod. You probably know this and are annoyed by it but the Icons for Monster Summoning 4-7 are squashed along with the Shadow and Water summons as well. It might have been in order to get them to fit on scrolls or stone backing but since the others are larger it seems like it might have just been one click too far on sizing them.
