This ticket is a collection of all problematic\stub\unfinished\temporary icons that we currently have post-release in game. Also includes some config problems with finished content.
- P07 still has temporary G17 icon:
"\A3\weapons_F\Pistols\P07\data\UI\gear_p07_x_ca.paa"
- Rook-40 has bigger icon than other pistols and also has ugly white outline:
"\A3\weapons_F\Pistols\Rook40\data\UI\gear_Rook40_x_ca.paa"
- RPG-42 icons have ugly white outline:
"\A3\Weapons_F\launchers\RPG32\data\UI\gear_rpg32_rocket_ca.paa"
"\A3\Weapons_F\launchers\RPG32\data\UI\gear_tbg32v_rocket_ca.paa"
Also these icons are much wider than other rocket\grenade icons though this is less important than fixing white outline
- Titan MPRL launchers share same icons even though launchers are colored differently when in player hands
See attached image: titan_icons.png
- All Titan MPRL launchers appear as same default sand color when on ground in weapon holders but properly colored when in player hands
See attached image: titan_weaponholder.jpg
- Mk200 has icon that appears to be smaller than icons of other weapons and is not aligned in the same manner as other weapons, mk200 icon is shifted to bottom and right. Also icon has minor white outline.
"\A3\weapons_F\Machineguns\M200\Data\UI\gear_m200_X_CA.paa"
- Plain and camo Mk20 variants both appear as plain Mk20 rifles on their icons while both plain and camo variants appear as camouflaged rifles on the ground
See attached image: mk20_icons.jpg
- Tracer variants of 5.56 30rnd STANAG Mags (used in TRG and Mk20 rifles) share icon with non-tracer variant of magazine even though icons for tracer magazines of all colors are present in weapons_f.pbo:
"\A3\weapons_F\data\UI\m_30stanag_CA.paa"
"\A3\weapons_F\data\UI\m_30stanag_green_ca.paa"
"\A3\weapons_F\data\UI\m_30stanag_red_ca.paa"
"\A3\weapons_F\data\UI\m_30stanag_yellow_ca.paa"
Base magazine class: 30Rnd_556x45_Stanag
- Green tracer variant of 6.5mm 30Rnd Caseless Mags (used in Katiba) shares icon with non-tracer variant of magazine while proper tracer mags icons are present in weapons_f.pbo:
"\A3\weapons_f\data\ui\m_20stanag_CA.paa"
"\A3\weapons_f\data\ui\m_20stanag_green_ca"
Base magazine class: 30Rnd_65x39_caseless_green
- Red tracer variant of 6.5mm 100Rnd Belt Case (used in MX SW) shares icon with non-tracer variant of magazine while proper tracer mags icons are present in weapons_f.pbo:
"\A3\Weapons_F\Data\UI\M_100Rnd_65x39_CA.paa"
"\A3\Weapons_F\Data\UI\m_100rnd_65x39_red_ca.paa"
Base magazine class: 100Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag
- Tracers variants of 6.5mm 200Rnd Belt Case (used in Mk200) and 7.62mm 150Rnd Box (used in Zafir) share icons with non-tracer mag variants even though proper tracer mags icons are present in weapons_f.pbo:
"\A3\Weapons_F\Data\UI\M_200Rnd_65x39_CA.paa"
"\A3\Weapons_F\Data\UI\m_200rnd_65x39_green_ca.paa"
"\A3\Weapons_F\Data\UI\m_200rnd_65x39_red_ca.paa"
"\A3\Weapons_F\Data\UI\m_200rnd_65x39_yellow_ca.paa"
Zafir having icon of same box of caseless rounds as Mk200 is another problem on its own which causes confusion and makes you expect that Mk200 and Zafir will share mags which is not true.
Mk200 base magazine class: 200Rnd_65x39_cased_Box
Zafir base magazine class: 150Rnd_762x51_Box
- All NV Goggles ("NVGoggles", "NVGoggles_OPFOR", "NVGoggles_INDEP") share same icon even though goggles are colored different in game on players and on ground. This is really a minor problem though it would be great for all NVGs to have properly-colored icons for sake of consistency and to avoid any confusions why some NVGs are not grouped with other in Inventory screen.

- ARCO scope ("optic_Arco") has ugly white outline around it
"\A3\weapons_F\Data\UI\gear_acco_Arco_CA.paa"
- New DMS scope ("optic_DMS") has lower quality icon compared to other scopes in the game.
"\A3\Weapons_F_EPA\Acc\data\UI\gear_acco_dms_CA.paa"
See attached image: RCOvsDMS.png to observe differences in resampling quality making DMS look ugly
- Flashlight ("acc_flashlight") has white outline around the icon
- Holosight ("optic_Holosight") has stub upscaled icon with white outline
"\A3\weapons_F\Data\UI\gear_acco_eotxps3_ca.paa"
- MRCO ("optic_MRCO") has icon with much smaller image of the scope than other scopes have as well as white outline
- MRD ("optic_MRD") icon has white outline
- Nightstalker ("optic_Nightstalker") icon has white outline
- TWS ("optic_tws") and TWS MG ("optic_tws_mg") scopes icons have white outline. Also both scopes appear to look like Nightstalker in game but have icons of another scope.
- Yorris J2 ("optic_Yorris") icon has white outline
- SOS ("optic_SOS") icon has white outline
- All sound supressors icons have white outline
- There is an inconsistency with "picture" config values of vehicles, some have low resolution flat white profile shapes while other (most of which were introduced with and after beta version) have high resolution ArmA 2 style portraits. See attached picture: vehicle_pictures.png Seeing that original portraits of Offroad truck and Quadbikes were removed from the game and replaced with white shape icons, I propose to leave both types of images in the game under different config values, "picture" for white shapes and "portrait" for high resolution ArmA 2 style portraits since both formats will be very useful for mission developers. Also white shape icons of helicopter UAVs ("B_UAV_01_F", etc.) have much higher resolution than icons of other vehicles.
- Black MX rifles appear yellow when in weapon holders.
- All icons in general are very dark and look very bad on dark colored ArmA 3 style of menus. See attached darkicons.png for comparison between look of Katiba rifle icon from the game and from http://www.arma3.com/features/weapons which has weapons rendered differently (most icons there have white outline though). Bonus: Find Mk20 rifle on attached image findmk20.png. If icons were brighter there would be no problem displaying it on both light and dark backgrounds. I suggest to consider to re-render most or all weapon, magazine and attachment icons in similar style as they are present on http://www.arma3.com/features/weapons page (with the exception of white outline)
This ticket doesn't includes problems with uniform\vest\backpack\headgear icons since lots of these are still not in the game though have config definitions. {F22620} {F22621} {F22622} {F22623} {F22624} {F22625} {F22626} {F22627}
