U-Wing/TIE Striker icons

Closed this issue ยท 17 comments

Any idea when these will be added?

Here's a list of new icons that'll be in the game when the rest of Wave X is released:

Ships:
U-wing
TIE Striker
Quadjumper
Upsilon-class Shuttle

Symbols:
Reverse straight
Reverse bank-left
Reverse bank-right
Condition token (Since these have custom images I'm thinking a blank hexagon symbol would work, and outline/negative version)

I don't have access to a high-res U-wing or TIE-striker card yet to use as reference. The others will have to wait until I can get my hands on those components as well.

Thats the higest resolution I can scan at off the ship tokens. The pilot cards are sharper but even smaller.

I'd be happy to take a swing at making vector art for them to help. What app would you recommend and I'll give it a shot. you can reach me at scott@karchfamily.com if you like.

@geordanr - ship font updated to v10.0 with the U-wing and TIE Striker icons
TIE Striker is 0054 (T)
U-wing is 0075 (u)

Leave this issue open though, because I'll need to implement the rest of this list later:

Quadjumper
Upsilon-class Shuttle
Reverse straight
Reverse bank-left
Reverse bank-right
Condition token

..thanks. As for the condition token, are you thinking of making 2? An outline may be better than a solid white hexagon. That might be too much white/color if it's solid when at large font sizes. At smaller font sizes, a solid shape will probably work better. Just my 2c.

Thanks!
And just to make sure: this license on this font lets me just drop the ttf files into my project and redistribute them, right?

Yup, just include the MIT LICENSE file as well.

I have added the fonts and updated the fonts README for my project to include your license. Is this adequate? https://github.com/sirjorj/xhud/tree/fonts/fonts

That looks right, although that does remind me to expand that copyright to include @armoredgear7 and @Hinny for the TTFs.

Possibly isn't dropping with Wave X, but the C-ROC Cruiser was just announced today so that'll need an icon in the near future too.

@geordanr - both fonts updated with Wave 10 stuff listed above.

Ships:
Quadjumper is "q" (0071)
Upsilon is "U" (0055)
Captured TIE is the same as the original TIE Fighter, so I didn't redraw it.

Symbols:
condition, as solid plain hex is (00B0)
condition, as outlined plain hex is (00C6)
Reverse Bank left is "J" (004A)
Reverse Straight is "K" (004B)
Reverse Bank right is "L" (004C)

@armoredgear7 The quadjumper and upsilon appear to be missing from the font file in that zip.

Thanks - it helps when I grab the correct version of the file.
