Great mod, thank you very much for your effort! Is there a chance that you can recreate original PS2 radardisc?

Hi, those icons are very well made. Great job!

 

Sorry if it sounds nitpick-ish, but the Colt45 shadow looks sightly odd compared to the rest of the icons. Maybe make the shadow a bit thinner like the Python icon and also have no shadows at all on the left side of the gun?

Hi. I love this mod so much, I wanted something like this for years. The best one.
I want a little help with the remote grenade icon, how can I have both the grenade icon and also the remote grenade one at the same time?

Hi. 
I would like the chromegun, m60, sniper and rpg icons to have an original look.
Author, can you rework them to a classic style, without any improvisation? Thank you.

First of all, Author, I want to say that, originally, the shotgun icon was going to be dark green with different tones, But in the final version was changed to the dark green we all know. Maybe you might want to update those beta shotgun icon textures.

Actually in the earlier builds it was yellow, so the green tone was done later

Hey man, thanks — honestly, I think this is the best weapon icons mod out there. I also downloaded your HUD icons mod, but I ran into one small thing: the radar disc doesn’t quite match the weapon frame style.
I ended up making my own radar disc based on your weapon frame so everything matches better, and I wanted to share it in case anyone else feels the same way. Feel free to add it to your pack if you want!

Well I remade the radar ring based on the PS2 version, so that's the main reason it doesn't match

I'm relatively new to modding and I don't understand how do you install this mod? I tried putting the folder in modloader and then putting the .pngs in models > gta3.img and it crashes the game everytime I try to load. I even tried renaming the .png files to .txd instead so it would replace the files completely and it still crashes. I'm already using Open Limit Adjuster on a downgraded 1.0 exe. Is there something else I'm missing here?

You're supposed to replace the images in the respective txd files of the weapons. Like pistol.txd, shotgun.txd etc in gta3.img. But the fist icon is located in hud.txd

Yeah I got that but as I said it just crashes the game when I try to load it but I managed to find a working solution. I opened the gta3.img file in TXD Workshop, then located the corresponding .txd weapon files inside and just dragged and dropped your mod's .png files in the window pane for the selected file, replacing the low res icon in the process and saving the TXD file afterwards. I had to repeat this step manually for all the weapons which was a little tedious but it worked out in the end as it no longer crashes now. I even exported all the edited TXD files afterwards to get them to work with modloader instead so I don't have to touch the .img file at all.

 

Not to sound ungrateful but it would've been greatly appreciated if a readme with instructions was provided with your mod since it can be pretty unintuitive for newcomers like myself on what to do especially if you need 3rd party modding tools to get it to work properly, something I'm still not sure why it was even necessary at all when I never needed to jump through these hoops with any other type of mod before so it might've just been a special case. But it would've been even nicer still if it was more of a simple drag and drop process like your HUD Icons mod (which actually worked "out of the box") but I digress.

 

Also a few of the weapon PNGs had been named incorrectly, for example "chainsaw.png" should actually be "chnsaw.png" (chnsaw.txd) without the "a" in the middle and "remote.png" is actually "bomb.png" (bomb.txd) at least in my vanilla 1.0 install. Still, it's an excellent remaster mod otherwise so thank you for making it at all. I enjoy the aforementioned HUD Icons mod too which was a lot simpler to get to work in comparison.

How can I change the remote grenade icon? I can't find the txd file, the only thing I can find is bomb that is the remote and grenade, nothing for remote grenades

It doesn't exist in VC. They just reused the regular bomb icon, but I made it anyways.

[Leo_LoL]

I already love the mod, but could you PLEASE include a readme file with instructions on how to install it?

And also make one for your other mod - Hud Icons, and also tell me how to install both mods with Widescreen Fixes's FrontEnd Textures installed along them.

These look a lot better than some others I saw out there.
¿Could we have the raw frames?
