Description

It would be nice to have map condition -> icon
and show condition icons in list of combatants and in effect windows.

Condition to be parsed from effects strings.

That is a very nice idea. I'd list ideas and help with the following points:

  1. We need to get a good public set of icons, preferably really small, to get this done. I'm no artist, and I'm not sure any one on the development list is.
  2. Where exactly would you put them? Pixel real-estate is expensive, so to speak. I had considered putting that on top of the effect panel.
  3. Parsing from the effect list is a good interim solution, long term, I believe we should track conditions.

One idea I had the other day, was to have some keyboard combination that overlays the VCC screen with all the data for the combatant. So you can look at details. Not sure how to do this though...
