Buff Icons Question

  1. Hello all, I have a question related somewhat to Yanfly's Buffs and States Core for RPG Maker MV. Using the plugin, I have changed the default number of possible buffs and debuffs to 3 (up from 2) in increments of 33%. No problem there, but there's something bugging me immensely. By default, whenever a single stage of, say, an attack buff is applied in-game, the affected actor or enemy gets the following icon:

    So far so good. 2 stages of the attack buff then gives this icon.

    This is also fine, I suppose. Since the base game allows for a maximum of 2 buffs, I get why there are two separate "tiered" icons for 2 stages of a buff. With that said, adding a third stage of a buff with the help of Buffs and States Core does not, by default, change the icon again. It comes as no surprise that the icon remains as:

    upload_2018-8-3_2-0-14.png

    So my problem is simply that I wish to add a functional set of "3rd tier" icons. Making a new set of icons shouldn't be too hard, as I plan to use Yanfly's Icon Generator as well... But I don't know how to alter the base software to change the icon to my custom 3rd tier icons when a 3rd buff is applied.

    Alternatively, if someone knows a way that I could make the program not use separate icons at all, that would be fine too. What I mean by this is one stage of buff could give the icon: upload_2018-8-3_1-56-43.png, while the second and third stages of the buff still could give the same icon: upload_2018-8-3_1-56-43.png

    In game the first stage would appear like this: upload_2018-8-3_2-8-3.png, while the second and third stages would use the same base icon but with 166% and 199% respectively INSTEAD OF what I currently get: upload_2018-8-3_2-9-15.png and upload_2018-8-3_2-9-49.png


    Hopefully what I'm describing is making sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
  2. If you're okay with using just one icon for all 3 stages, just replace the other buff icons in the iconset file with the one that you want to use (or transfer them somewhere else if you still want to use them for something else)

    Ah, easy enough. Thank you!
