Sounds freakin' amazing! And ya, it would be awesome if there was a simple way to set spell editors to point to the directory you install the divx videos and then maybe put something in to pull up the spell effect when a spell is loaded in the editor. Just as long as the files don't have to be included in the spell editor so that every time you download an update for the spell editor, the download is 50+MBs. That size isn't an issue for the people downloading them, but it might cause issues with hosting that has limited bandwidth usage.

That brings up something interesting... I wonder how feasible it would be to use Flash Video (like YouTube)? It makes it ridiculously easy to incorporate into web pages as a standalone (thinking Wiki or something similar), and would probably be equally as easy to package in an executable. The only things I'm not sure about is what the differences in file size would be and how easy it would be to facilitate playback into a standalone app.

Might be worth taking a look at...

The only issue with that is the compression on video from services like youtube really sucks and you want something halfway decent to see the spell animations clearly. Divx encodng is awesome for the resulting file size it has. You can get a full length movie in HD quality for a few hundred megabytes. The only thing that comes close that I know of is AVI.

Thank for the updated Icons, I just updated the set I have been working with today. You even had a few new ones I did not have yet. They look a lot better than the older version I had. Thanks a lot.

Heck you're welcome!
Perhaps someone can check to see if there are even more recent ones to add - someone who still plays live... They are in the everquest folder in uifiles, and there should be a file numerically later than dragitem34.tga
