Chimera Squad Ability Icons

Description
Chimera Squad has a pile of cool new icons that'd be great for abilities - except for the problem that they're set up all wrong for how XCom 2 uses them.

specifically, Chimera Squad are 64x64 white icons on transparent backgrounds.
XCom 2 uses 32x32 transparent cutouts on black background.

This pack contains 276 icons that have been converted so they can be used for XCom2 abilities.
The process isn't too difficult, but it does become time consuming in large quantities.

Includes a Icons_Index image that allows previewing all of the icons to select the most suitable one. ReadMe.txt contains a refrence of how to convert you selection into a proper IconImage string.

Other modders are welcome to reuse the icons (or leverage this as a requirement), provided credit is given for the conversion work.

Note for Players:
This doesn't actually do anything on it's own, so if it's not a requirement for a mod you want to use, you probablly don't need it.
The exact same UPK is present in Mitzruti Perk Pack, so if you're already using that you won't also need this.

Just came here to say thanks for uploading this.... Reading the comments with interest. Hopefully no one feels like I am stealing their work. O_O

I had to bring popcorn to this comment section. @Author. I love your mods.

@RustyDios: Kinda like how fireborn got banned from Steam for not creditting a game developer for a model he used.

The fact he was a complete douchebag, tried to claim credit for everything on collaborations (five other people are uncredited for that tank mod he made) and less than a tenth as talented as he thought he was, not so much, but that's also why he's not terribly missed. Sad thing is he had potential if he could've just gotten over himself and took critiques and worked to improve, rather than going "I'm right, you're wrong, I'll block you for saying there's bugs or mistakes in my code." No one becomes a better modder without learning from their mistakes.

Cato took down his mod entirely, still claiming it as his own, despite the black and white evidence.
No one strongarmed him into doing that. No one pressured him. He was not 'bullied into submission'. His choice was to take down the mod, rather than speak truthfully.

@Lt. Grey Cato's release with these icons was using a .upk from the MPP. What gave it away was the internal filenames and source path of the icons, something that can't be changed after the image is imported. This internal name for Cato's icons still had Mitzruti's HDD as the source. I know as I was the one that pointed it out, having JUST seen these in MPP and looking into Cato's mod, to see what he had done differently ...

YES Cato did steal the pack/icons from Mitzruti. And tbh, that wasn't even the issue, the issue was that it was the second time he had stolen someone else work, and more importantly tried to claim it as his own . All he really need to do was add "this is Mitzruti's work" to his description, give credit to the original, ask for permission to re-upload, it's not a hard thing to do.

Your reading comprehension is really lacking. I don't "demand" or "want" proof. I'm telling you that you need to provide it if you want to be taken seriously. I know you don't have any proof because you are lying. Your buddy Cato has taken other people's work without permission on multiple occasions and has done the same with the icons in this mod. Your attempt at pulling a "NO U" on Mitzruti can only be interpreted as a bad attempt at trolling.
Lt. Grey Feb 3, 2021 @ 3:10pm 
@bstar You don't want anything from me, yet you demand proof from me.
You're not helping anyone by contradicting yourself at every turn.
As far as I'm concerned, you are some random commenter to me as well.
bstar Feb 3, 2021 @ 3:05pm 
Yes, that is exactly how it works. You came here with the initial accusation. If you want to be taken seriously by anyone, the burden of proof is on you. It's not on Mitzruti to provide proof about some random commenter's baseless accusations.

And what do you even mean by "cooperation"? I don't want anything from you.
Lt. Grey Feb 3, 2021 @ 2:46pm 
@bstar Didn't you just say that I'm not owed an explaination or "proof"? Following your own logic then, I'm not obliged to share my proof either. I doubt that anyone would like to be cooperative with your aggressive behaviour towards others as well.
