Thanks for the mod! It's good and it's working.

Thanks for answer Melancholy.

I'm looking for a mod that would inform about soldiers squad in every soldiers list, not only a few.
Hoped this one would solve this issue.

@mazrados No, they are only displayed in the squad manager menu and on the geoscape.

Are this icons displayed in soldiers lists?

Ok, no worries

Sorry, I'm not planning to add any new logs in the near future.

I know I already asked if there was a chance to add in logos from COD, but I also want to know if there's a chance to add in logos from Borderlands (Vault Symbol, Crimson Raiders Symbol, etc...) sorry if I'm bothering you.

hey could there be any chance you could add the republic icon in a few colors from the clone wars?

Yep, got it.
Thank you, mate

No, like I said, you only need to edit the package itself and add the image path to the config file of your choice.

I already did join it - got no reply and decided to bother you instead:) Hope I'm not really bothering you btw, sorry if I am

So you don't create Script\ModName.u yourself? Okay.
Yep, I saw that those 3 cfg files were about supporting mods, changed all of them, and replaced your mod's name with mine in 3 other.
Okay, and what with Src\ModName\Classes and .uc file there? You don't create all of that too? Just 6 cfg files, .upk and useless Localization/XComGame.int?

The script file is auto-generated by the compiler I think, it doesn't matter. The only files that matter are the package and the config file with the image path. Depending on which mod you're using it with the config file is different. I use 3 different config files to support 3 different mods. Maybe you're not changing the right one.

This is what I basically did initially when experimenting with the Robojumper's mod. Open up his mod package, add the images in the correct format and under correct category and then add the new paths in the config file. You might want to join the XCOM modding discord and ask questions there — it's a much better platform for discussion and feedback.

I have some experience, but only with voicepacks.
I basically just tried to copy-paste this mod with my own images (and changed config files ofc), but wasn't able to build solution, it fails everytime.
Also I don't know the purpose of SquadPatches.u and don't know what program opens it (couldn't open it with Unreal Editor or Notepad). Something tells me it's critical:)

You need the developer SDK to edit the packages (add new images) and add the image path into the config file. It's not hard at all, I managed to figure it out almost entirely on my own with no prior experience with Unreal Engine modding.

I used Robojumper's squad icon mod as an example to learn how to do it and test it in the game before making my own mod which wasn't all that hard either (there are very comprehensive modding guides on the XCOM modding subreddit available.) Honestly, the part that gave me the most trouble was uploading and updating the mod on Steam. If you've never dabbled in modding before, I suggest you look up some written and video guides online first, but adding images like these into the game is not hard at all.

Hello there!
Man, can you please tell how to make such a mod? I couldn't find much info in the net except for that it must be .tga 256x256 images. I would be grateful if you told me something more.

Any chance of getting an ODST emblem to go along with the UNSC and Spartan ones?

Right. Thanks.

I'm not planning on using that mod myself but I don't think it would be too hard to enable support for it just like I did with the standalone squad management system. I'll take a look when I'm finished with my current campaign do do a proper revision and add more images to it.

Hi. Your Mod is not compatible with this Mod? "[WOTC] Squad Based Roster" .. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2604662194 .. I can't use your Squad Patches with the above Mod. Thanks.

Would also like to see some SCP related logos for patches, too:

Oh, the LW2 squad icon did work in LWOTC, that is awesome. Thank you for you reply, Melancholy.

@Rifle Man you should be able to use that mod with LWotC without any issues, unless you'd like me to convert all of them into my own uniform size and style?

@Melancholy https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=848376030 something along the lines of this

This is the LW2 squad icon mod, could you bring these icons back in LWOTC？ THX a lot

I would have to see then first to tell you. Technically I could turn any image into patch like that, it would just depend on the amount of work required to do. The more simple it is and the less colours they have, the easier it would be to turn them into a cloth patch.

Would emblems like space marine chapter and legion badges be possible?

Actually, there is two symbols to represent the OTA.

You can find the full list from here: https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/Combine_imagery

on that prior note about the combine, there isnt a specific emblem for the transhuman forces

here's the combine empire's main symbol itself:

and the one used by combine elite soldiers (a smaller high-ranking caste rather than the whole army):

Since people are asking, how about some of the logos from COD, like the Task Force 141 logo?

I am not familiar with those images, so a link would be helpful!

Can you do the Overwatch Transhuman Arm Insignia from Half Life 2?

Don't suppose I can suggest the Transformers faction logos? Autobots Decepticons Maximals and Predacons?

No worries if not!

Thank you all for suggestions! I'll start making a list and maybe add 1-2 from those franchises in the future. Not sure if I'll add them to this mod or make a second supplementary one for them. I wouldn't want to overload this one with all the icons in the world, but I haven't decided about it yet. I actually discovered it's pretty easy to remove the icons you don't want to show up in your game by removing the file path from the config file, so I'll think about it.

@Fox Holday @Hudson Savage thanks a lot for confirming it works with the standalone squad manager!

I can confirm that this works perfectly with General Disarray's [WOTC] Squad Manager.

Oh and ONI patches would be dope

Also I can say for a fact that this does outright work with WOTC and the WOTC squad manager mod, found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2542543519

As for long term effects got no clue as I just installed this mod.

UNSC, Spartan II, and ODST would be pretty epic

Could you tackle these, if it isn't a problem?
