With working a bunch of hours the PIC5R3 project has suffered.
I have decided that in addition to colorized artifacts I am going to colorize portraits to correspond with them. Colorizing them takes a bit of effort, but it's going to take significantly more effort to get the game to load them properly.
I haven't tested any so far as to whether or not they're properly loaded. However, I have completely colorizing Life Plates, Order Plates, Earth Plates, Urakian Armors, and Chaos Helmets. I am yet to work on Air armors, as well as rings, staffs, weapons, etc.
Preview of my current work:
I have a lot on my plate at the moment. I can try to speed the release of the PIC5R3 along but that would probably hurt in the long run.
What I may end up doing is a pre-release with duplicate artifact portraits of originals with different names (i.e. orarmr_lb for order armor lightblue, liarmr_by for life armor blue and yellow). [EDIT]: Then at a later date, re-release the PIC5R3 and a stand-alone portrait pack that would replace the duplicates. This could speed up the release of the PIC5R3 without degrading the future additions as they are now, but could hinder further additions if I wanted to add ANOTHER row of artifact icons.
PIC5R3 could be released as early as late July and projected as late as mid August. No promises, no guarantees. I'll work on it when I can when I have the inspiration to do so.
[EDIT]: I am still going through and properly setting spell icons so they don't look odd, or slightly different in color than the rest of the faiths respective spell icons.
