OUT OF DATE DO NOT USE!
This is a tool for addon makers, not a addon in and of itself.
This addon can be included as part of another addon.
In order to ensure that as many addons as possible can use this successfully please:
- Do NOT edit or rename the script or icon_override.ltx
- Do make sure that users of your addon know that that conflicts between your addon and another with these two files is not an issue.
This script provides a method to override the icon assigned to an item in it's item section. This means that icon replacements can be made such that they do not conflict with addons that change the items.
This is a lua based solution and there for will be ignored when an icon is pulled directly by the engine. Examples of this include the quick slots in the HUD and the pick up item prompt.
The ico_*.ltx files used by this script are imported into a single file, this means that duplicate section error can happen, and will need to be addresses by the normal methods, however as each section only has at most 5 lines this will be simpler than with item sections.
An example .dds and ico_ LTX are provided. Any one familiar with the normal item icon system should find this system very straightforward.
This version should be the final version, now supports upgrade icons, the artifact belt.
Very good addon, but they should create something more essential for people who have low resource PC, such as the icons are broken all deformed without their respective icon on each object, but many people complain about it and can not enjoy the game for very bad PC but well we just want to play, also happens with the mod Boomsticks and Sharpsticks and Armed Zone 3.0 weapons.
And support for the other icons on the site would be a great help for people who really need it.
that is because the icon file dimensions are not powers of 2
you can fix that by opening the icon file in paint.net and resizing the canvas up to dimensions that are powers of 2. make sure NOT to strech the image, you just want to add a blank margin.
I understand, thanks I will see in the future if I can do it and well just hope there is a solution in the future for these little problems.
