Icons for Campaigns

Post by **Dave** » April 2nd, 2004, 4:15 pm

I have added a feature allowing campaigns to have icons displayed next to them in the campaigns menu.

Just put icon=myicon.png in the [campaign] tag and the icon will be displayed.

Usually it'd probably be best to use the main character from your campaign as your icon.

what size can they be? i would think they couldn't be 200X200, but i don't know.

Technically they can be any size, however I suggest they be kept to something consistent and sane.

If one campaign has a 200x200 'icon', and other campaigns have 70x70, it will look ugly.

I'm not so sure about this feature, Dave. I mean, Heir to the Throne, Undead Campaign, Loyalist Campaign, Orcish Campaign, Assassin Campaign, etc. all in the same menu WITH icons? Wouldn't that get terribly messy?

no, just the menu will get bigger. it might even be a good idea to have the menu take up the whole screen, with a 'cancel' button included. it would look fine like that, with the icon on top of the name, like this:

OOOOOO
OgoodOO
Olooking0
OiconOOO
OOOOOO
Heir to the Throne

At the moment it looks terribly dull
