Inventory Icons


What are they for?

Sie came up with this nifty idea! You can use these cool inventory icons in your characters' profiles to denote what items they have in their personal possession. They can be particularly helpful when a character has an item they use or refer to often.


Using the Icons

You are free to edit, colorize, and change them however you want! The only exceptions to this are icons that have made specifically for a character (which won't be posted here). You are free to take the one that have posted here, though! Feel free to submit things to this thread; please only post your icons in response to the thread rather than PM'ing them anywhere. Thanks!


Please only use these icons at 'Souls or on a 'Souls relevant profile site. Thanks!


Resources
  1. Making Icons — Adobe Photoshop Tutorial
  2. Editing Icons — Adobe Photoshop Tutorial
  3. Iaza.com — You can use Iaza to turn your images transparent. Leave your background a color you did not use in the image itself (e.g., for a grayscale icon, use bright, lime green for the background).

Obtaining Stuff

If you're going to be using any of these to represent your characters' possessions, make sure your character already has the items or create an in character thread working out the obtainment of the items. Please don't just add icons into your character's directory just because "the sword icon is awesome".


Public Icons

Please remember to only use the public icons you find here. Icons that you find in others' profiles, post logs, etc. may be custom-designed icons made by either those players or someone else. However, you can always ask them if you can borrow with appropriate credit!


Displaying Ideas

  1. Please link back to this thread so others are aware of how to obtain these shiny icons!
  2. You can display the icons in your 'Souls profile creating a new category specifically for your items.
  3. There are custom tables designed to work with your profile CSS by Sie here.
  4. You can display them in a profile post or a 'Souls-related off-board profile, using either the table posted below or whatever method you'd like, really!
  5. More display tables available here!

Table for Displaying

Remember to change your class names from "sie-" to "yourcharactername-" to avoid class overlap! Feel free to modify this table to your heart's content. Smile Please note--you either have to manually space after your text or insure that at least a paragraph's worth of text (enough to wrap around the icon) is there, otherwise it'll go wonky. :3


Code:
<div class="sie-inventory"> <div class="sie-inv-title">Character's Inventory</div> <div class="sie-inv-subtitle">Item Name</div> <div class="sie-inv-text"> <div class="sie-inv-icon"><img src="http://sleepyglow.net/souls/other/inventory/kae_blanket.gif" title="Tattered olive green army blanket, kept in cave.
