    Changed Statis Effect Icons

    Updated! Fixed for the 07-27-06 Patch.
    The newest version is up. The files at the end of this post have been changed to the newest file.
    I had to modify the zip file from Faranim's because it was too big to fit on these forums. His orginal zip contained the .bmp files and a converter so you can eaisly make/replace you own icons. See his LJ page for more info.

    Offical site of the maker: http://www.livejournal.com/~faranim/ and http://lazureus.livejournal.com who also helped out.

    My friend found this file on another fourm and I did not see it posted here so I thought I'd do everyone a favor and post it.

    What it does:
    Changes some of those statis effect icons that are at the top of your screen to more usefull ones. Ever get confused if that's Phalanx or Utsusemi, well wonder no more! It might take a few days to get used to them but you'll soon find that you no longer have proublems telling if that's Beserk or Warcry you got on you.

    The zip file contains 2 .dats. One is for the NA version the other is for the JP version.

    I take NO credit for this work. The main part of this dat change was created by Faranim and other people contrubited their art to theis icons.

    Hope you enjoy this cool find.

    <Edit> I have a screen shot of all the changed icons so you can see them without being ingame.
    <Edit> New version was released by Faranim today. I changed the file that was uploaded. Grab the new one and enjoy them again.
    <Edit> Fixed for the April, 17th FFXI update. Check attached file.

    Re: Changed Statis Effect Icons

    probably a measure of how often I mod ffxi stuff, but I downloaded that and installed it without thinking about it.. be nice If I could get online to see it.

    Best thing ever is when ffxi players peek at my screen and ask me what game I'm playing.

      Is this an updated version? :D I had this before and I liked it but with one of the latest updates, it stopped working. I'll have to DL it and see.

        This version works. It's especially helpful to me on my rdm. After I would convert I would have refresh and regen up. The icons are side by side and look virtually the same, especially when you only have time to glance at them. So the new icons totally illiminate this problem for me and I totally love it. Not to mention the awesome Utsusemi icons!

          very helpful to bard. it's stupid that all bard songs are the same icon because it just forces us to cursor them to see what they are. it's almost like a game bug.

          also some of the default icons make no sense - divine seal looks the same as warcry (or utsusemi, i forget)? wtf stupid SE

            Ya thats the same with the HP and MP regen icons. The H and M aren't defined enough and you have to press your face up to the monitor or put your cursor over it sometimes. (But I do have to say I have my feet up on my sub and my chair leaned back so it may just be me! ;P ) I don't know what the hell they were thinking honestly.

              I tried these last night, and although I only tried Barwatera and Barpoisonra, you can already see how helpful they are. I can't wait to see more of them!! Thanks so much for the great find, ifandbut!

                    Probably a stupid question, but is it self installing or do I have to go in an manually replace the files?

                      You need to manily replace your .dat file. It's only one file and the Readme.txt tells you ecactly where to find it. Just make sure to make a backup of the file you replace just incase you find some far-out messed up bug that prevents windows from booting till you replace the file. :D

                          I installed them, then prviewed your Jpg file. I really like the improvments done here.

                          The only one I would change is the graphic for souleater, its a bit too fague to really see its intent there. I'd recomend somthing along the lines of perhaps a red skull, or an axe with a blood drop accrost it. Somthing that indicates your attack is up, but you are damaging yourself in the process.

                          Other than that I really like it!

                            In the zip file is instructions on how to add/modify the icons. I personaly have not tryed it but the instructions look simple if you have any background in hex memory addressing. I'm currently takeing a class dealing with just that (Microcontrolers/Assembly) so I could proubly make the instructions more understandable to the adverage person (no offence) if you really want me to.

                            No Ifs Ands or Buts about it.

                              I think if I actually sat down and fitteled with it I would be able to myself, but for the lamen those instructions really should be simplified. My free time goes through hot and cold flashes so probley in the next few days I will have at it.

                              There are a few effects I would love to add, like some 2hr graphics instead of the (SP)
