Better Disguise Self Icons 2.0 — Baldur's Gate 3

[ModdersHQ]

Tired of icons looking the same, no matter race or gender?
Then look no further!

---

Overview:

Complete redesign of Disguise Self icons aiming to clarify the visuals between races and genders.



Icons were fully re-drawn to better showcase features of illusions they are supposed to give to the player

• Appropriate features for lads and gals
• Unique hair and variations for strong body types
• Better horns, spikes, distinguishable ears, etc

To bring further readability there are two colour versions: Gender and Race.

Race colours variant was not colourblind proof.
Should you have troubles differentiating colours in the Race version of the mod, do let me know so I can create a version that will work better.

this menu was such a poorly designed clusterfuck

[Silver]

this menu was such a poorly designed clusterfuck

Yeah. Even though I always liked illusion spells, I found myself never wanting to use Disguise Self because of how poor and confusing visuals were.

[loregamer]

The icons are cool and all, but whoever modded and packed this is a real pro!

[orinEsque]

The race version is now a permanent part of my mod order.

[loregamer]

Silver’s dragonborns mog the **** out of Vanilla’s.

[lexo1000]

It looks so cool!

@Silver Perhaps also a combined version with the base icon as per the race version, but the male or female symbols in a corner for clarity?



Or an alternative such as a colored border or dot or other sex signifer?

[Silver]

@Rand
I tried adding both a coloured dot and mars / venus symbols. With how small UI icons are, it just becomes a visual clusterfuck.
Although I haven't tried adding borders, will check out how it looks.
The easiest way to 'read' UI icons is that top row are females, bottom row are males.

Approximately the true size is going to look like this:



Which... really doesn't look that good imo. And there are going to be +14 icons like that too. Just too busy.

I did an experiment and I don't think it's good. Perhaps you can do better if you think it's even worthwhile.



Yeah, you're right. Too busy.

[Silver]

Perhaps you can do better if you think it's even worthwhile.

The only idea that I have that might-or-might-not work is to try maybe doing an ombre / gradient going from the bottom of the spell background itself.
That way, technically, nothing should be in the way of the linework, while giving a more clear gender idea.
Will have to see how it looks in game. At least for that I don't have to redo tooltips or I'd kms.

[loregamer]

Spell background would be the move. I still worry about there being too much noise, though.

Update:

Version BetterDisguiseSelf - Gender Coloured - Vanilla was not working properly. The link was updated.

Holy crap...I didn't realize just how gender ambiguous the female icons are until I saw your new icons. Thanks for this, you're doing the lords work.

[Luckmann]

Did I really never comment on this? The gendered icons is a ******* blessing from god, as to not have to check check each tooltip individually from a wall of icons.

I honestly have no idea what the hell they were thinking.

Real? I thought it was working

I'm using "BetterDisguiseSelf - Gender Colored" and it still works perfectly. So it's definitely not outdated.

Okay, sorry.
