Star Wars Universe Army Types(3.11+)

Np^.^

Thank you soooooo much!

Some helpful other helpful advice, add naming conventions to each file like the spritesheet. You are working on a Star Wars mod so it's very easy to have something in your mod bork up because all the Star Wars mods name the jedi temple in the file jedi_temple. Something like swga_jedi_temple would almost guarantee there won't be a mix up with other mods. Another example is the GFX_army_icons_yournamingconvention_your_file_name would help.

Next you need to create an icons file in the interface folder in your mod. Type in spriteTypes = {} for the first set of code. Inside the brackets for that you need to type
spriteType = {
name = "GFX_army_icons_your_file_name"
textureFile = "gfx/interface/planetviewyour_icon_file_name_icons.dds"
noOfFrames = # of frames you want
}

After that then you need to type in this block of code for each frame that you want in the file.

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_army_type_your_icon_name"
sprite_sheet_sprite_type = "GFX_army_icons_your_file_name"
default_frame = Frame # your on right now in order from lowest to highest
}

Then you need to go to your army file and input the GFx_army_type_your_icon_name into the part where it asks about the icon.

Army icons are a bit more complex. gfx\interface\planetview is the pathing structure you need for this one. I forgor what the height and width of the sprite is but you can also copy the base games army icon file for that. Each space you add for the army icons need to be realigned so I idealistically you need to do the math for the total about of icons you want in a sprite sheet. You can have multiple sprite sheets.

Alrighty^.^

For tech icons you can copy icon files from the base game then paste whatever you want over it so the size is correct. The file path is gfx\interface\icons\technologies. The same applies to how you structure your tech in your mod.

I need to add it for my mod

No worries :)


I was gonna ask how you added the technology and army icons

@VersionZero You can't ask them here? : o
Sorry, very hesitant about adding people I don't particularly know with the being one way people can try to scam/hack into your account.

hi mewmew, I have a few questions for you xD
