alternative icons for ores and metals

[Astuur]

I am supplying an alternative set of pngs here as a .rar archive.
It contains pngs for the substrate and product of smelters (gold and iron) for all tribes.
It also contains the corresponding conf files to adjust the hotspot (otherwise unchanged).
They are the same for all tribes and only redundant for convenience.

I have long used these for my installation, because I think they are clearer and easier to recognize.
To test you should unpack the rar archive in \widelands and let it overwrite.

The development team should decide whether they like it or not.

In case they do, I would also suggest to rename "gold" to "gold ingots" (German: "Goldbarren") and "iron" to "iron ingots"
throughout the game.

I suggest you also open a thread on the Graphic Design part of the forums on the website, because I'm not sure how closely some of the relevant people follow the bug tracker.

I have attached a graphic to aid comparison of the current v.s. proposed images of the ore and metal wares.

Just my 2c: I prefer the originals.

Here is a link to the continued discussion in the Widelands Graphics Forum:

The ingots were discussed on the forum, and were finally added in r5892. Looks like someone forgot to update the status of this bug report.

I've set it to Fix committed, though it probably counts as released. However, I was unable to assign it to build16-rc1 now that it has been released. I'm unsure if it should be assigned to build16 instead, or just marked as fix released?

Uh, that "someone" would have been me... Thanks for catching it. Would you believe that because the ingots had been discussed in so many places, I got disoriented?... Didn't think so. :)

Thanks again, Hans.

I'm targeting this to build 16 and setting to fix released because,... well,... it is!

Hehe, that's all right, Chuck. :)
