Each phylum has an image associated with it (as per Manuel), and the five major elements also have associated images (as per Manuel and the elemental Blow skills). It would be handy to also have those images associated with the corresponding data type.

That's about it.

Getting this information isn't too hard, but it non-trivial.

If we had a datafile for elements / phylum I could certainly see adding this, but I'm not really sure I feel like adding some hard coding for something that could equally well sit in a script. If it were something desired for several scripts I could be persuaded. Maybe a zlib feature?

I'm not averse to hardcoding it. "element" and "phylum" are built-in ASH datatypes.
Since Bale did the work of getting the images, I'll do it. For phylum, at least.

I've got time to find images for elements now. Fortunately zarqon is worth the trouble.

Element images from Manuel:
  • None

  • Hot
    /images/itemimages/fire.gif
  • Spooky
    /images/itemimages/skull.gif
  • Cold
    /images/itemimages/snowflake.gif
  • Sleaze
    /images/itemimages/wink.gif
  • Stench
    /images/itemimages/stench.gif

According to Manuel, there are no monsters with those elements. Manuel says that Slimes and Warbears have no particular elemental alignment.

I guess I don't hate that you did that though.

Jick actually said on a radio show that cuteness was just a joke and they don't ever intend to make it an element. Of course that wouldn't be the first time Jick was wrong about his future plans.

One last thing: I'm currently needing to check for $phylum[none] and specify an image for monsters with unknown phyla. Could the image for $phylum[none] also be specified? I suggest 'obnoxious.gif', which is simply a question mark, handily located in the itemimages folder like the rest.
