a- if you make custom human icons and replace the original ones, all humans (all humans, even other teams you spectate) will appear to you with the new icons.
b- if you create custom icons paired with a particular name, the icons will load only for that single player. Problem is that in order to have the custom icons always work, you have to always use the same names (ie when blitzer Billy Elliott dies, you have to buy another blitzer called Billy Elliott).
c- if you want to change names and have the custom icons appear, you have to edit the icons.ini files EVERY time you buy a new player (which is incredibly boring, after a while).
Solution B is the best, mainly because it lets you give away your custom icons set and when people install it, they will see your icons when spectating. Which is cool for fans. The drawback is that you will never be able to change names to players. Which is something I always accepted for my Hellfish, even before thinking of custom icons, but many people don't like it at all. |
It would be great if it worked with wildcards or regular expressions.
I made custom icons for my Blue Moon Coven. It would be quite easy with wildcards since the names of the vamps all start with "Prophet" and those of the thralls with "Frater".
Now, sometimes when I forget to edit the icons.ini after hiring a new player a standard icon shows up. On the bright side, the rookie is easier to identify in his first game.  |
