Adding Font Icons and CityView images ?

[greyTiger]

Has anyone been able to add in new Font Icons for resources or anything else for that matter? It seems that an entry is required in the IconFontMapping table which defines the name or tag that will be referenced in the text and a mapping index.

Seems that the mapping index points to a position in an array defined in the FontIcons.ggxml file (that can be read using notepad), and that in turn loads icons from a dds file that I cant find. Is this in a package somewhere? If so how can we extract it?

Another issue related to icons on the city view screen. I want to replace the Citizen icons when assigning workers to the Specialist buildings. Any ideas on how this can be done?

Cheers

It's extracted by nexus, and then needs processing through a fan tool to extract the original file rather than the silly obfuscated one. It doesn't seem it can then be sensibly modified, however.

That said, they have admitted on the wiki (or official forum, one or the other) that there's no way to added fonticons, and that they plan to add a means of doing such.

Ok. Thanks for the information. I guess I'll have to use one of the existing icons to represent my needs for the time being.
