Pulling in @tough magnet @ancient bay @timid marten @solar ember @iron grove just because I was talking about it with you guys earlier.

#

Oh, also Shield

solar ember Jul 26, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

Oh yeah I do like that shield better too.

iron grove Jul 26, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

The armour is more distinguishable, especially the medium.
And agree the shield looks much better. It looks like a buckler rather than a lozenge. 🙂

shut wren Jul 26, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

did you make these yourself?

spare tusk Jul 26, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

Good lord no. They are all core icons shipped with Foundry, but hopefully a better and more varied selection applied to the SRD items.

#

I've been slowly submitting changes to the SRD stuff over time.

shut wren Jul 26, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

I see. Do you happen to know where Foundry has them from or whether they are made by them?

wary spear Jul 26, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

I think an artist named Rexard made them, foundry has a liscense for it- link was from media and assets channel

REXARD - Asset Store

Hey! We are a team of artists, and we really like the concept of the Asset Store. We hope that our assets will help make your games more vibrant and captivating.

#

Yours is a huge improvement, the icons resemble the correct armor type much more closely

spare tusk Jul 26, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

shut wren I see. Do you happen to know where Foundry has them from or whether they are mad...

Yeah, Zanderaf is right they are by REXARD. They are sometimes available for a very reasonable price on HumbleBundle.

wary spear Jul 26, 2023, 7:17 PM

#

also humble bundle has icons?

spare tusk Jul 26, 2023, 7:28 PM

#

Sometimes!

#

Game making packs and the like.

spare tusk Jul 27, 2023, 3:47 PM

#

Whilst going through the armour icons, I noticed that some of the shields actually have icons that are coins and other misc items - despite the fact we have quite a few shield icons. So here is a set of updated shields.

wary spear Jul 27, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

noice even tho I already redid the icons myself

#

big improvement over the old ones anyhow

night roost Jul 27, 2023, 4:59 PM

Macro to update all items on the world's actors to match their img with the img found in the 'Items' srd pack. (Goes by name and item type.)

const srdItems = await game.packs.get("dnd5e.items").getDocuments();
for(const actor of game.actors){
  const updates = [];
  for(const item of actor.items){
    const srdItem = srdItems.find(e => e.name === item.name && e.type === item.type);
    if(!srdItem) continue;
    updates.push({_id: item.id, img: srdItem.img});
  }
  await actor.updateEmbeddedDocuments("Item", updates);
}

spare tusk Jul 27, 2023, 5:00 PM

#

Ooh, very cool.

night roost Jul 27, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

spare tusk Ooh, very cool.

Also here's one that shows you all the items that share an image in the srd pack.

const items = await game.packs.get("dnd5e.items").getDocuments();
const set = new Set(items.map(item => item.img));
for(const s of set){
  const hasImg = items.filter(item => item.img === s);
  if(hasImg.length > 1) console.warn({img: s, items: hasImg.map(i => i.name)});
}

spare tusk Whilst going through the armour icons, I noticed that some of the shields actual...

That new Shield of Missile Attraction lol... what is going on there – Shield of Self Attraction?

shut wren Jul 28, 2023, 2:21 AM

#

Yeah that ones a bit weird tbh

wary spear Jul 28, 2023, 3:23 AM

#

a missile is just kinda of a fast hug at a distance

#

shield looks like its hugging itself

#

👍

tough magnet Jul 28, 2023, 3:28 AM

#

Keep it in I say... I didn't even know that icon existed

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 7:38 AM

#

Haha. It's a cursed item and I thought it looked cool.

tough magnet Jul 28, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

It’s now the shield my 750 year old elf druid is rocking… fits his aesthetic

#

oh_no

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

Ah yes, ~~necromancer~~ ~~lich~~ "druid".

#

Also for completeness, I hadn't posted these 2 here yet as they are different:

night roost Jul 28, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

Yeah that old demon armor had to go

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:44 AM

#

Does it look demon-y? Yes. Is it a good inventory icon? Nooo.

night roost Jul 28, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

The new one does look sort of basic, however.

#

Are there no red or black armor icons?

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:46 AM

#

Not that look very appropriate. I am sure Rexard does have some, but not that we have access to. Some of these are sort of OK?

#

Bearing in mind it is a Plate Armor variant though.

#

Probably why the Demon icon was chosen in the first place.

timid marten Jul 28, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

Of the choices here, I'd say it looks most "demonic" because it just looks different. I do enjoy the rotund dwarf one.

night roost Jul 28, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

No. 2 is... OK?

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:48 AM

#

Yeah, OK is about the best we can do haha. No2 looks kinda ethereal/spooky to me.

night roost Jul 28, 2023, 10:48 AM

#

"Pick me :("

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:49 AM

#

There's also this one

#

Still generic, but purple

night roost Jul 28, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

Might be something good in 'treasures' or a different folder?

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

😆

night roost Jul 28, 2023, 10:51 AM

#

Maybe not.

#

Although I guess technically, if you look at a lot of the demons in dnd...

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

#

Yeah, not a whole lot that gives "This is Plate Armor" as well as Demon-y

night roost Jul 28, 2023, 10:53 AM

#

Yeah, I guess Fishface or the purple one will have to do

#

Are you also updating the migration script?

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:53 AM

#

Wasn't planning to

night roost Jul 28, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

probably not needed.

spare tusk Jul 28, 2023, 10:59 AM

#

To anyone following, feel free to voice which of these you think is the best fit for Demon Armor, or suggest other options:

Armour & Shield Icon Updates

#

Looks like Fishface might have a competitor... when does the poll close?

spare tusk Aug 1, 2023, 7:17 AM

#

Ummm ... how long is a piece of string 😅

#

I've posted about it like 3 times now at various times of day in the dnd5e channel. I don't feel like I should keep spamming about it, especially since it's one rarely used icon. So we'll probably just fishface it up.

tough magnet Aug 1, 2023, 9:36 AM

#

There are a few other armors in the Chest folder that I wonder if they would have ranked well, but I assume you're using them elsewhere

#

I feel like only a demon could fit that second one... wth

#

Anyway I'm happy with fishface

#

fishface

spare tusk Aug 1, 2023, 9:43 AM

#

1st and 4th are indeed being used for standard armours. Unfortunately not a broad selection.

tough magnet Aug 1, 2023, 9:44 AM

#

Yeah those are my faves... fishface it up

spare tusk Aug 1, 2023, 9:44 AM

#

And yeah the 2nd is a weird one for sure
