Ric,

How did you edit your skillicons? (What program/s did you use?)

the skillicons were done in PSP on my side, and PhotoShop on Subby's side. I did the Sorc and he did the Necro, but the effect is more or less the same. Any decent prog will do. I've heard ppl using MSPaint, so it shouldn't be a problem heh. PSP helped me quite a bit coz I could set the palettes to combat any distortion. (and the keep has the d2palette for PSP and PhotoShop)

The skillicons are in data\global\ui\spells\XXskillicon.dc6. They're multiframe dc6s (60 frames, 30 skills, 1 normal mode and 1 depressed/unselectable mode)

Use DC6Maker for both the extraction and compilation of the dc6s. And don't forget to apply a palette before compilation (preferably the D2 Palette coz it'll remove the chance of the color distortion.)

------------------
2B or not 2B, it all depends on your preference of pencil.
