    The frosty one reminds of a snow globe. Only that it has skulls for snow. ;)

    I'm curious to see what you have hidden in your sleeves. Will we see redrawn skulls in your own pause button? Or perhaps a different art motive altogether?

    UPDATE: Animated Pause Cgear concept 2:

    This is downscale from 512*512px
    Original file preview link (warning images are ~5MB in size):

    I'm not satisfied with lightning, color & glass :/ it need some tweaks...
    For now my vote is for Cgear-Frost-V3,
    V2 is usable for Spring & Wood Baldurs Gate Theme (yeah i'll put red eyes on bg version, Boo will be happy).....
    If i succeed to tweak sidebars from 64 to 128 px this will be native size of animation in sidebar:
    ---
    If anyone want to test V3 (64*71px) in Original vanilla IWD (Not EE) here is BAM file, unrar and just put in override folder:

    Wow, nice tricks! If the skulls could move slower, it would be awesome!

    Stuck with Bam .... Again :S

    I have some problems with Bam Workshop 2 porting my mapicons into BG:EE, and cannot find what's wrong, my graphics are all weird & f***d .... 8bit palette is ok, so idk whats the problem.. I will test it on BG:Complete today...

    Basicly what i want to do :

    1.Yellow-ish Brown -for normal icon
    2.Grass Green or Grey for on Hover icon.... (will remove original red on hover)
    3.Remove Black City Info Text under icons & replace it With Morpheus font white, drop shadow...

    I have attached my icons in gif format, so if anyone is willing to convert it to bam & test it i would appreciate it

    BAM Specification:
    ________________________________
    Frames : from 0 - 55
    Sequence: From 0 - 55

    Sequence0 contains Frame0
    Sequence1 contains Frame1
    Sequence2 contains Frame2
    ...
    ...
    Sequence55 contains Frame55
    __________________________________
    Gif images are in order by frames
    (i have uploaded non transparent Gif yellow version)

    Gif Frame 1 = Bam Frame 0
    Gif Frame 2 = Bam Frame 1
    ...
    ...
    Gif Frame 56 = Bam Frame 55
    __________________________________

    So far i have worked with Bam workshop 2,and DLTCEP, so idk, is there better Bam editor,
    if someone know about it please leave me url in reply...


    Thanks

    I'm using Near Infinity for converting bams to png and back. It's a great tool.

    Download link:
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/33358g6jkjsnk31/Soulmarines_Worldmap_Beta_2.1.rar

    This is First Public beta Release of my map mod.
    This map will be included (and it's part of) Soulmarine's BG:EE Wood GUI Mod.
    (c) Soulmarine
    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    IMPORTANT:
    Do not include this mod in any other mod !
    Compatible only With Vanilla BG:EE 1.3
    This is WORK IN PROGRESS !
    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    INSTALL:
    1.Backup your BG:EE override Folder
    2.Copy override folder from RAR archive to your BG:EE 1.3
    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    TO DO:
    1. Fix Mapicon Location Bugs
    2. Add Morpheus (white, drop shadow) Font to Mapicons
    3. Add On Hover and On Press Mapicons (View)
    4. Animate Icons

    from override folder to your Saved Game Folder (Quick save, Player save etc)
    2.For some reason idk,installing this map mod will remove visited locations on map,
    so you will have to visit all locations again...
    Map and map icons should look and have positions like in attached image
    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    Bugs will be resolved in later Versions
    I know this release is not perfect, i am learning Infinity engine on the fly, so expect bugfixes and new updates...

    On the latest beta image "Naskel" was fixed but not "Naskel Mines".
