Do you have the un-palettized version of all weapon icons (including W2 ones)? If yes, will you please update the image with those icons?

large weapon icons

Where do you get those super-high-resolution icons? Are they vector version? Explorer09 03:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

A member of our alpha testing team had 500x500 renders of the icons sitting on his hard disk. They're dated 9 Jan 2001 and he doesn't remember how they got there. They're saved in sRGB, and I determined that they must've been converted to sRGB from a gamma 1.8 color profile with a larger gamut (but it's not Apple RGB or any well-known profile); there's some hue shift and saturation clipping, but I reverse-engineered the color profile's CIE xy parameters and can reverse it to match the colors the game uses unprofiled. —Deadcode 04:06, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I see. But why are you scaling down the image to 250x250? Explorer09 04:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, I thought 500x500 was somewhat excessive for WKB, and I don't like to scale things down by non-integer divisors. If I had a way to render them from the Animo files (which I don't, but may someday), what resolution would you choose? —Deadcode 04:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
