If you can give me the dimensions of the area the 3 icons will have to fit in, I can do something.
Thinking something green for Primary, orange for Junior, and red for Superior.
So you can get an idea of what I do: http://sheltari.deviantart.com/gallery/#_popular/digitalart
Most of what I do is photomanipulations or abstractions, never done icons before, but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. It'll give me something to do before going back to classes on the 17th.

EDIT: it's not recognizing the link right, the "digitalart" gets cut off o.O You might have to copy/paste to get to the right screen or there will be a lot more to look through. ^^;

interesting...i'm curious to see what you can come up with. the image sizes are 32x32.

Images size for the icons should be 32x32, or that's the area they all have to fit within?

Nevermind, I found a solution :D


Only simple ones, but I hope they're good enough for now.

EDIT: Having the colors and locations of the text vary helps prevent confusion, although it looks a little cheap I have to say.

Oh, and sorry if this makes more coding for you to do ^^; Since you'll have to set it to switch between different images to match the formula's alchemy types.

nice work kazura! those look great. so....i'm trying to think how i should do the the multiple alchemy type compounds. i'm not really going to be able to detect other same compounds with different alchemy types on the fly cause that would definitely hurt performance.

should i change it up so there are check boxes for each type of alchemy?
if so, i think people just might start checking other boxes for different compound types even though they haven't tested them.

or, i could do calculations based on how the base materials are setup to determine alchemy types...this however wouldn't always work for the weird exceptions.

EDIT: i just updated the compounds page to show the icons. i haven't used the multiple alchemy images yet as i'm waiting to hear what you guys think. what do you think about the spot i put the new images in...look alright?

hmm check boxes are the best way i could think off , even though it had the disadvantage u mentioned
(if check boxes are set up there's must be some scrip to check compound invalid if none of the alchemy type is chosen)

for last idea as u said doing calculations may not work for weird compounds and we still dont know all these alchemy laws its still in a learning process, so these "exceptional compounds" are the key to learn new/unknown "laws" of alchemy

edit
--- little hard to read icons , kinda looks similar from distance

kazura: can you redo a set of icons without the background? few people are saying it's a little hard to read. i'm curious to see how this would look.

Last edited Sun, 01 Feb 2009, 9:15am by scott

yeah sure, I have the psd where they're on separate layers. I'll get right on it.

EDIT: scott, it came out harder to read. With only a 32x32 area, the text is basically as big as it gets, even used outlining in the originals to bring it out more, without the outlines and background it's much harder to read. And I'd rather not use icons where people wouldn't have a clue what it means, without checking some sort of guide.

EDIT(again): I could use initials like PRIME JR. and SUPER but that's the best I can think of that keeps it understandable.

Last edited Sun, 01 Feb 2009, 9:24am by Kazura

hmm...we could probably make the icon a little bigger. did you want to try 48x32?

i'm actually going to bed now but if you post some more up i'll test them out when i get up.

Wow! Looks awesome Kaz!

Yeah, a nice 1 for 3 type of alchemy for a formula =).

@Kazura

have a try with these ones
psd file: >> klick here <<

thanks kazura and stopper. i used stopper's psd to put up some new icons. what do you guys think?

I also have a little popup if you hold the mouse over the image for a second to show what type of alchemy the image stands for.

yea looks good ^^

Oh, I didn't know the site accepted psd's lol. Well um, I uploaded a new one after seeing stopperbud's theme. Followed that train of thought, tell me what you think.

hmm ur icon's letters look more clear, than previous icon

about both icons i noticed letter is kinda flat looking , i really like the 3D like effect of the check mark icon and fake items icon which are being used, they are so nice and clear icons with 3d style,so how about make the letter also look more 3d like, also its gonna be more nice if all icons in website are consistent with same/similar styles

as en example of what im talking about , i edited kazura file and added few layer styles , im not good with photoshop xD lol may be u guys can edit more and make better 3d looking letters

I just love this site.

Anyways, I know it might be catering to the alchemy crowd, but could you possibly add an item/compound option that allows multi-tier checks?

Right now, in order to determine what an item is useful for in terms of secondary usage (I get a 'bad' product) I plug in the same item type into primary, secondary, and tertiary types to find out what's out there. A single checkbox to find all items of a certain type across subtypes would be LOADS of help. I'm sure someone else can corroborate my meaning.

good idea. shouldn't take too long to implement...i think i could probably get it done in a few hours. i'll probably get a chance to work on the site a little bit tomorrow.

Could you please add something to the compound list (and perhaps to the item list also), that it makes possible to jump to a particular page number? It takes a lot of time to go back to the higher numbers, when I want to confirm and edit compoundings. This would be very helpful.

I posted a link to fanfiction.net, so you can see what I mean exactly.

ok, i could do something like that. i'm also trying to figure out someway to fix the confirming so that it will not have to reload the page when clicking the question mark since i know the compounds pages take about 4-5 seconds to load.

in case you're wondering what i'm working on now i'm trying to figure out the best way to redo that item and compound popups since they have some issues on all version of internet explorer once you start scrolling down the page.

anyone have any suggestions of popups on other sites that work well? i started rewriting them using only CSS but i'm having a couple of display issues on the different browsers.

That would be great if the pop-ups could be fixed:) Not that good if you want to look at the item status, but have to scroll around until it is visible (if you can see it at all ...) or half of the pop-up disappears within some other writings.

And not to reload the page after confirming would be great also!
I am lookin forward to all of this.^-^

you are using opera or safari? i think the javascript popup only wasn't working properly on IE. Since 40% of the users use IE I should probably fix it :P

I use Firefox and Google Chrome.... and I'm lost. No popups here... no problems with text or any issues. It's all very clean for me. :)

* enjoys being one of few *

i mean the little item information box that pops up when you hover over an item name or compound.

Ahhhh, yeah... that works fine for me. Excellent really. :P

I don't use Opera or Safari - only the Internet Explorer and Java Script is on my computer too.

i think we got a few more photoshopers in here(the forum)
i think it's time to share those though.
might be a optoin to make a development forum
so we can share such thinks like icons, banners, headers and all sorts of things that are related to photoshoping
also a good start for those who are trying ot understand more of PS
and a good way of getting better image's and pic's

think about it

and i'm still waiting for the theme option! :P

@stopperbud why not start a thread in off topic section?

We really need PMs...

Any thoughts on how to implement that?
