Ranger Epic Icons

[strider51]

Hello,

I recently acquired a ranger epic (classic, 1.0) on my 1900 server. I noticed that the Icon in the game is a white pearl necklace (the default), and not a swiftwind (i also tried stormcaller, same issue) . I'm using the titanium client, any Ideas ?

Thanks,

You can change the icon to something else in your database, or seek out some of the guides to add new graphic files to old clients.

Right, but what I don't understand is that the titanium client surely had the first epics. I don't believe it's a new graphic.

There must be a wrong value in the SVN database ?

The PEQ database comes from what PEQ is using on their server. Perhaps they changed it to a different icon for some reason. On your private server if you prefer a different icon you can change it.

Right, but what I don't understand is that the titanium client surely had the first epics. I don't believe it's a new graphic.

New icons were added for most epics in late 2008, they now actually look like the epics, instead of being fairly generic swords, staffs and daggers. 2008-12-23, according to lucy, was the exact date for the change. Titanium does not have those new graphics. (They are in dragitem66 or thereabouts; Titanium only goes up to 34.)

PEQ uses the new icon numbers, and has been doing so for a while. In all likelihood the choice was driven by the simple expedient of not wanting to have to apply yet another patch to the items table after sourcing a fresh snapshot from 13thfloor. They also look far nicer.

One of the guides mentioned by lerxst2112 is sticked in the Support::General Support section.


For those who'd rather get the old icons back for the epics, here a list of those that were changed. Old denotes the old icon number, new the icon number of the new graphic. The links are to the history page of the items from lucy, it shows both the old and the new icon graphic.

Hey Leere,

Thanks for that research. I have been looking in every file in EQ to find that elusive icon and could not.

Well thanks to you I was able to "repair" the icon....lol

Here is an in game shot of what my modified icon looks like.

And for anyone that would like to use it you will need to change the icon nuber in your database to reflect 603 then this is no less then a custom UI just like you can get anywhere but it is only one file. Take this and put it in your UI folder... Earthcaller and Swiftwind (http://www.kheprigames.com/dragitem3.tga)

Leere thank you much for your helpful insight!

I'd like to also point out that "Size c Spring" is also mis-numbered for titanium.
