Alright, let's suppose I want to be able to just have the lastest spellfile but not change anything else.

This means, leave the icons looking the way they did, leaving the UI the way it was (1 row of 8 instead of 2 rows of 4) etc,

Is this possible to do? Or are we basically forced to change our spell icons and user interface? Personally I'm just not digging the was the changes look and I'm a huge proponent of "if it's isn't broken, don't fix it".

The spell gems needed to change, period. They were only tied to 30 options and looked terrible. Now you have 150ish gem #s. The spells_us.txt will be mandatory to see the correct gem alignment. Like I said in its announcement, this allows for more customization, so you can find/make whatever you want.

Simply put.. theres an icon number in spells_us.txt. Says gem should look like #. # in your gem icons is what it will look like.
