Hey again,

Been attempting to import custom Civ/Leader Icons into my custom civ. It shows the icons during the Civ selection screen, but for some reason doesnt show up during the Dawn of Man load screen, nor during diplo screen or Pedia screens.

I followed the step-by-step instructions from https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fFGEAJwyFaLmY31b6JnkI1rmu8Q07zlhuJU_2DcJ4dE/edit , but it doesnt really address the problems I have.



Some points that I tried and failed to fix the problem:
• ImportFiles loads all .tex and .dds files in both FontEnd and In-Game Actions
• Reloading/Renaming dds files and tex files, reimported with Asset Editor each time
• All dds is made using Gimp 2 → RGBA8
• Ive tried using known atlas icons like America's Icon and Teddy's Icon, which works fine (loads in pedia and diplo screen too)
• I reboot the game after each asset change
• No Database.log issues
• Assume I followed the above guide correctly, with links like UI/Icons etc coded where it should be etc.

Here is some game footage showing the problem:

Civ select screen works: Leader OK, Civ OK! (ignore Rancher and Gaming House icons, no art for it yet)


In-Game: Civ Icon fails, Leader OK


Dawn of Man: Failed Civ Icon behind text, no unit icons, Placeholder Teddy until I fix the icons.


Pedia: Everything broken. No Icons at all.

And finally, some code that might help...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanksin advance!
 
Hi, I had a similar problem, I built in my icons, all were OK, but the thing is in config, xlp and even modart.xml. I also started to import all single tex and dds file (the importfiles modbuddy config), phew...you dont need to after all!

See Republic of Pirates or my Portugal mod (in signature) to see what to configure.


For modinfo you only need this (my mod example), and modbuddy get all the files for you:

Oh my god. You need to load the .xlp with the image files. I'm an idiot, it works perfectly now; thank you!
