Description
Comprehensive, lightweight icon package that assigns fitting kill icons to over 300 entities and to several spawn menu categories.

Features
- Almost all vanilla entities have proper killicons. This includes the natural attacks of enemies, obscure props and hazards usually only found in campaign maps, and the HL1 arsenal.
- Rigorously tested to make sure new icons are properly-sized.
- Reused vanilla icons when I could, with high-quality icons already loaded from HL2 and Counter-Strike applied to their retro counterparts, and certain HEV warnings have been repurposed into killicons proper.
- Each basegame spawn category has its own icon.

Mod Support
Killicon and/or spawn category support has been added for several mods, including:
- Any basegame-style vehicle mod (uses prop_vehicle) will be automatically supported. Vehicle bases SCars Slim, simfphys, and WAC Aircraft have limited, non-extensible support.
- Various mods by Meetric
- Wiremod and PewPew V2 by Divran, et al.
- NPC Manned Emplacements and Campaign Entities by StrawWagen
- Sleeping NPCs by Silverlan, et al.
- Parakeet's Pill Pack by Parakeet, et al.
- Minecraft Torch by Rubat
- The Ultimate Admin Gun by 2-Bit
- VR Guns by Catse
- Drinks SWEP by Sleepy (or any other mod that uses the "Drinks" category)
- Water Editor by Insmall
- Wowozela by CapsAdmin
- Seatable Pool Rings by Nerdy

Trivia
- Stepping on a cockroach (from HL1) will show the icon of your current weapon. Where vanilla would show the default death symbol, projectile weapons will use the proper kill icon.
- A bugbait kill icon exists in the HL2MPTypeDeath font, but isn't used in vanilla.
- This project was started in late 2020, but non-square bitmap support was only added in 2023 with the killicon.AddTexCoord()[wiki.facepunch.com] function.
- The spawnmenu category icons use the function list.Set( "ContentCategoryIcons", <name>, <image> )[wiki.facepunch.com]

Known Issues
- Satchel and Tripmine (HL1 weapons) currently just use the S.L.A.M. icon.
- Damage type can't be taken into account in the killfeed for some more ambiguous kill icons.
- Guns mounted to vehicles use the same icon as running them over.
- Environmental death still looks like a suicide, though there are several usable icons for different types.

Credits
- VALVe for images from TF2, Half-Life, Counter-Strike, etc used to make this mod
- Chair icon[commons.wikimedia.org] from GNOME icon theme

The assets are assembled from a mix of Valve images, basegame files, and my own work. A lot of clever reuse of generic images.
The only stuff I'd feel comfortable submitting officially would be the HL1 weapons, and even then, I've got no idea what kind of style is expected in the GMod codebase. Wouldn't want to cause any issues by the way I load the Counter-Strike icon "font" included with TTT.

understandable

The Vortigaunt icon (used generally for "psychic damage") is copied from one of the TF2 spells. If it's fine for Valve, then I don't really have a problem with it.
Designs like it are used around the world, and it's not being used in the context of any real-world beliefs. Edgelords might use it to hurt other people, but as much as I can't condone that, I can't account for user error.

you might want to change the vortigaunt icon...

You know what? This should be in the base game. You should PR imo. :dw_cup:

It means that there's spawnmenu or kill icons for stuff from those mods.

What does it mean by mod compat for things like pool rings, wowozela, water editor, and sleeping npcs?

funny looking vortigaunt icon

Yeah! Annabelle uses one of the super-shotguns from Counter-Strike, and weapon_base has a silly killicon if you somehow acquire it.
I've tried to be pretty comprehensive with vanilla stuff, in some cases excessively so.
