Individual Spell Icons
Some of the bard songs have truly ridiculous graphics. Selos Song Of Travel has the same icon as the Direct Damage songs, for instance. I would like to be able to change the graphic for a specific spell or song without having to change the graphic for all spells that use the same default icon.
So my question is, does anyone know if the graphics are tied to individual spells/songs in one of the XML files and is therefore modifiable, or is it hardcoded into SPDat? If it's the latter then I guess I am out of luck.

Look at the various spells##.tga files. They contain the graphics that are displayed for buff icons. If you know how to load up a tga (graphic) file and edit it.. Go crazy!

This would only allow you to change the spell icons for a whole bank of spells though. What I want to know is can you assign a unique graphic to a spell independent of all other spells that, by default, use that same graphic.

no.
however i am in the process of redesigning the 150 spell icons as it is.
look for it in a week or so, as i will have several different flavahs to include:
Old Spell Icon Mod - (use the new UI with the old spell icons)
New/Old Hybrid - (new icons, but with a 10-20 pixel mini-icon of the old version)
and an entirely new icon set, but this one will need to take some more time as i am still in the process of parsing what spells use what icons across the board so i can determine what the best representation would be for that icon.
but personally, i think that nearly ALL of the new icons are complete trash.
i mean damn near all of my icons have absolutely ZERO reflection as to what the spell that cast them was.
My DD-Tap line uses what appears to be a red-annul magic icon, and my Dot-Tap line is identified as a detrimental spell....
not to mention that summoning a skeleton pet looks all cheery as well... ugh...
