Midas Magic Spells of Aurum Icons

[Dicecaster]

Midas Magic is a fantastic mod, no doubt about it. I was just thinking this: the only thing that could possibly make it better is custom icons. Why should Summon Melon Atronach look like Astral Mark/Recall? Midas Magic is great just the way it is, but this would make it even better, no?

to tell the truth, i'm not even sure if it's possible

 

i just looked in the CS, and just as i remembered, you don't choose icons for spells

i think the icons are determined by the actual spell effect that is used, and so you would probably have to remake the whole thing, with new unique spell effects

 

then again, i could be completely wrong, and this is actually possible

if it is, then it would be great, as these spells could stand out even more, which will really help

Before I took a look at all the Oblivion mods, I would have agreed with you, but if they can make something like DarkUId DarN, I think making a bunch of spell icons, while time-consuming, is certainly possible. Edited January 20, 2011 by Dicecaster

could very well be

i'm not really sure, as i know more about the Fallout modding rather than Oblivion

 

still, if anyone can make such a mod, or want to give it a try, i'm sure we'll all welcome that :)

Well, I do believe that Midas made completely new spell effects somehow (I don't know how) or they're just script effects. If its new spell effects, then its just a simple thing of making the icons, then putting them on the spell effect. If its a script effect, then you can't change the icon without changing every other script effects'.

well, i did check Midas Magic on the CS, and i did look at the spell effects, and i don't think Midas Magic has even a single new spell effect

all of this is done by scripts!! (or so it seems to me)

 

so once again, i'm not sure, but i'm almost sure that it can't be done

Nah, I'm pretty sure they're script effects. Figures. Well, thanks for your guys' input.

The effects are scripted(Oblivion does not allow you to add new spell effect). Unless you're using OBME(Oblivion Magic Extender, which is OBSE plugin), I don't think you can add custom icons to scripted effects via CS.

 

**There's some custom icon assign mod, but it also requires OBSE, IIRC.

Wow, I had no clue. I probably should have known that someone already did this. Thanks for the info.
