Mini resource icons help

[tgvulcan]

I'm trying to figure out how to get the mini resource icons to work for new resources. You know the tiny ones that you see for the corporation consumes so and so resource or the mine has a small chance to reveal gold, silver etc.

I've been looking everywhere and can't find this. I have specified buttons for my resources but those tiny ones just won't show up properly for me.

Thanks for any help.

Found my solution with gamefont.tga. I don't think the guide clearly states how to add new entries into this file. I may write one up.

New entries: Just add new resources . Just append them at the end (but moving them to the next line will be a problem).

Yeah however in bts 3.19 maybe? they added the <FontButtonIndex> tag that allowed me to control which slot was used for which.

Oh, yes, right, but this has also been there before 3.19 .
Didn't think of, that you could maybe add them in another direction.

But for religions and corporations the symbols have to be in the exact order like in the XML, else they'll be mixed up.

That's right. However adding corporations is extremely difficult since you have to expand the UI in several ways or make it scrolling etc. Instead most will just replace the current ones and if this is done in a modular way, you have to switch your icons in the gamefont.tga around to match.

Either way more explanation could be done in that gamefont thread to make this very easy for anyone to do. As soon as i get time I will write something up with photoshop instructions.
