Icons for offscreen units - problem!

[Gordon Farrell]

Has anyone figured out how to place the button art for new units into the game in such a way that, when the unit is offscreen, the button art will be used to fill the offscreen unit portrait (the little circle that hovers along the edge of the map to show you a unit is active)?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me with this!

Yes, you need to add the unit image to a atlas and refer to the image there. For an example of this grab the great stateman or great general amped mods as a reference.

Just take the comma away from the begining of the button line. If you have a comma at the begining it assumes you are using an atlas and will provide 2 entries. If you don't it will use the same icon for both.

Kael, you rock my world. I can't believe the answer was so simple!!! Thanks for removing the tacky blight of those empty portrait icons from my mod. Whoo hoo!

Whoa! Thanks for the heads-up about the comma!

Now Alilum's AltReligion mod works even better without the pesky blank off-screen arrow circle thingies.
