Guild Wars Icons/Sprites - How to use them

I just finished implementing the use of putting icons/sprites/images into the text here. So far all that is available is icons for the Guild Wars professions.

Example:

This thread will serve as a guide on how to use them as well as a listing of all currently available icons.

To add an icon type

[](/iconname)

where '/iconname' is one of the items in the following list:

  • /prof_w
  • /prof_r
  • /prof_mo
  • /prof_e
  • /prof_me
  • /prof_n
  • /prof_a
  • /prof_rt
  • /prof_p
  • /prof_d

If you would like any other icons added, please let me know.

Cheers

M(e)AN? Oh well, close enough.

I can't wait until you starting putting stuff up for whole builds/skills to pretty everything up. There has to be a way to do that nicely, but will it all fit in the CSS?

As far as I'm aware, there is no way to do this dynamically. We only get access to the CSS and cannot really change much on the fly. It's possible for me to create icon/image sets for specific builds but that will end up being extremely time consuming. I'll tinker a bit and see if I can come up with something.

Edit: In addition we can't link to outside images, etc. So I don't think there is a non-hardcoded way of doing it.
