📋 About This Mod

Replaces around 3/4 of item icons with their counterparts taken from Witcher 3 and Witcher 2

Few years back, when i first downloaded Rise of the White Wolf mod i wanted to use Optional Items pack. Hell, i have interface stylized at Witcher 2, characters are looking more similar to Witcher 2, why not items? But it turned out that Witcher 2 which was basis for Optional Items part, had very low match ratio with Witcher 1 when it came to items. So it looked bit mismatched and patchy.

But RotWW was released before Witcher 3. And Witcher 3 has a very similar item base to Witcher 1. In fact it was designed that way to bring back nostalgia to items we knew back from 2007. Most of TW1 ingredients, food etc. had it's appearance in TW3. So i tried to do a spiritual successor to that Optional Items package and make it use TW3 itembase, with bit of help from TW2 when there was no modern replacement. In some cases i also tried my best at Gimp and Paint.net to fill the gaps. I'm not entirely happy with those, because i positively succ at graphic design, so i would appreciate any help with those.

This mod currently covers around 300+ item textures out of ~450 that i feel we could replace (50 of those are probably just a cut content thus my 75% estimation), items i DO NOT plan to replace are mostly weapons and armors. There is little to no coverage between the games, different aspect ratios and such, so i feel confident it wouldn't make any sense.

To gather item icons from TW3 i've also helped myself with some TW3 cut content.

------------------------

The items icons that are reworked by me or are somewhat controversial are:

Argentia Oil - my reskin of Beast Oil (cut item from TW3)

Crinfrid Oil - alt. early unused skin of Hanged Man's Venom from TW3

Oil 11 - item does not appear in game so i gave it Beast Oil item from TW3

Failed Oil - my reskin of early unused skin of Necrophage Oil from TW3

Black Gull - TW2's Golden Oriole. Black Gull is not in final game either way

Wives'Tears - my reskin of alt icon for Swallow from TW3

Shrike - my reskin of alt icon for White Honey from TW3

Wolverine - alt icon for White Honey from TW3

Wolf - my reskin of Golen Oriole to make it grey/white like in TW2

Kiss - my reskin of TW3's Swallow

Bindweed - my reskin of TW3's Full Moon

Willow - my reskin of TW3's Golden Oriole

Potion 26 - my reskin of TW3's cut De Vries Potion, item does not appear in the final game either way

Failed Potion - my reskin of TW3's Thunderbolt

Frightener's Vision - my reskin of TW3's Arachas Decoction

Kikimore's Ire - my reskin of TW3's Arachas Decoction

King and Queen - unused icon of TW3's bomb

Unknown Bomb - unused icon of TW3's bomb

Failed Bomb - unused icon of TW3's bomb

Cintrian Faro Beer - i reworked TW3's Vizimian Champion with very mediocre result

Soldier's Hooch - i used Chort Lure from TW3 but hear me out: Letho in TW2 held the very same bottle when he offered Geralt a vodka. I think that might be pretty close match

Plum Cordial - something labelled as Moonshine Bottle in TW3 files that is similar to empty alcohol bottle. Given that empty bottle has to had some contents in it at some point i decided why not Plum Cordial

Mahakam Mead - i used Rowanberry Brandy because it was labelled as mead in TW3 files, and i already regret that decision

Sodden Mead - something labelled as Shani Mead that is probably cut item because the mead in the game is using item labelled as Shani Wine

Temerian Spirit - something labelled as Carafe in Hearts of Stone expansion. Well now it's carafe filled with temerian spirit.

Azoth - cut content early version of Decoction, back when it had no skulls on it and was just a bottle with green contents

Sugardoll - TW3's Gingerbread Man, but since sugardoll and gingebread man is not the same thing, i hope to find some replacement

Striga's heart - One of rejected icons for Nekker's heart

Frightener's Eye - Arachas Eyes from TW2/3

Devourer's Teeth - TW3's Hag's Teeth

Alp's fang - TW2's Bruxa's Teeth

Gramps Diamond - the one given to us by Julian if we choose to present it to Lady of the Lake instead of a proper gift we can deduce from the statue. I used one of alt. icons for flawless diamond in TW3, because i used main flawless icon for the diamond he gives us as a reward for killing Dagon. The two of them have different icons in TW1 so it would be proper to make it so with new icons. However that alt icon is just the main icon with different color, so i'm not happy with that.

Silver Necklace - i used TW2's silver necklace, however TW2's jewelry had very different style from TW3's so im not happy with this.

Silver ring with ruby - Same as above

All sephirots - i recollored TW3's Philosopher's Stone, it seems to be cut item as i couldn't find what it is

Werewolf Cure Pot
