Nice, it might be worth making this thread sticky for a few days.

Edit : To prevent the icons being overwritten in a future update to the client the files will need to be extracted to the /ui/custom folder, if it does not exit create it. The at the char select screen select option and change to custom skin.

I had backed up my original copy of DAoC and copied the icons from /icons folder so I am back to the icons I was on prior to the update.

Yeah make sure it didn't unzip itself into an icons folder within the correct icons folder.

Correct: Dark Age of Camelot\icons
Incorrect: Dark Age of Camelot\icons\icons

Are the timers still aviable if you use old icons?

Another little thing, what does icons weight and lenght do in the options? i think lenghs is the lenght you want to stack the icons when active?

EDIT: I tryied to donwload the files but i cant open them with winrar, why?

The timer won't show up until the time remaining on the buff is 19:59 or less.

The archer critshot icon is a 2h Axe, rapid fire looks like an axe. Any way to get the red crossfire and the red arrows icons back?

Same here, anyone already solved it or do I have to replace the icons in the bitmap files with MSPaint myself?

This was bugging me as well, so I did a couple tests and found the icons for those abilities on the wpn_1000 icon sheet, specifically Crit Rapidfire Longshot and Volley. There is no "old style icons" file for this anywhere I've looked, so I made my own by copying that icon sheet from the Atlantis UI folder and modifying it in photoshop

On that sheet, Crit and Rapidfire are icons 8 and 9 second row from the bottom, while Longshot and Volley are icons 7 and 8 on the 5th row from the top.

I personally opted to replace the current icons with a few from the revamped archer icons that i liked, but you should be able to copy/paste any icon image you like into those slots

I would post an image but for some reason the site wont let me attach anything

I think I posted some of the old icon sets in the UI thread but I can do it again if the need arises...
