Need help with font-icon coding

[isnorden]

I'm currently trying to update my "Brewery and Mead Hall" mod with some related resources (see the attached file). Although I plan to code in some other things I haven't defined yet (like the Resource Generator definitions, and a unique replacment for Circus Maximus ), my main concern here is getting the font icons to work. I've never included new font icons as part of a mod before; although I've got a .DDS file ready, it's the matching .xml and .ggxml that confuses me. All four new resources fit onto the first row of a 4x4 atlas, but where do I go from there?

	<IconFontTextures>
		<Row>
			<IconFontTexture>ICON_FONT_TEXTURE_CCTP</IconFontTexture>
			<IconFontTextureFile>CCTPFontIconAtlas</IconFontTextureFile>
		</Row>
	</IconFontTextures>

This part names(IconFontTexture) and also points to your new font atlas(IconFontTextureFile).

	<IconFontMapping>
		<Row>
			<IconName>ICON_RES_MANGO</IconName>
			<IconFontTexture>ICON_FONT_TEXTURE_CCTP</IconFontTexture>
			<IconMapping>1</IconMapping>
		</Row>
     </IconFontMapping>

This part sorts out where you set your strings to use in Resources.xml(IconName, IconFontTexture) and where they are in your atlas(IconMapping). IconName should be ICON_RES_NAME to match the vanilla entries.

As for the ggxml use the vanilla one, rename file and edit these two lines:

    <textures width="[B][COLOR="Red"]256[/COLOR][/B]" height="[B][COLOR="Red"]256[/COLOR][/B]">
        <texture name="" src="[B][COLOR="Red"]CCTPFontIconAtlas.dds[/COLOR][/B]" allowcolor="1" alloweffects="1" inuse="1" />

To match your new Font Atlas. There is a tutorial on the workshop by one of the Devs that is well worth taking a look at.
