Bottom one sounds right.

I have 3 versions of this in my game..
CaZsm's Squad Icons 0.1.1
Squad & Burrow Icons 0.2.1
Squad & Burrow Icons 50.05
I assume the bottom one?
Sometimes annoying how DF saves every old version but doesnt give you a date.

Hi! I'm having kind of the same problem someone else had a while ago - an older save isn't able to load due to this mod :(

I tried the steps mentioned in the link below, but it still isn't working

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/discussions/18446744073709551615/5792223132444579698/?appid=975370

It works on a new world with DFHack, dont forget to enable at world creation.

TY for the mod! the free license is also very kind of you.

thanks for U work！

oh nice, I was hoping for something like this when I went to pick my dude's icons

This is great, thank you for your effort.

This is a great mod - thanks so much. And good on you for releasing it cc0 creative commons.

This mod is a good example for other aspiring modders. It is 8 lines of code, plus another data file of 50 lines that simply lists the sprites. A two layer psd file is included.

An interesting example of how Dwarf Fortress supports user generated content and modding. Some types of custom content can be added to the game with almost no code.

@Sea Jr. you may have two different versions of the mod installed at the same time. Not sure how you managed this unless you installed to vanilla, and additionally enabled the mod. I'm not sure if you can unplug a mod from a save. Also, the most recent version should have that error with the crutch icon fixed.

Two sets of identical icons when selecting squad icons. Looking at the image files there's something messy about the crutches icon in the More_ version, like two images got overlaid but i cant quite parse it. Not sure if I can just delete one set to remove the dupes bc im unclear on which files are calling which image and so on :P

Must-have mod

Replace the Star with a Crescent Moon.

Thanks for that! Your work is very appreciated.

When I'm back from vacation I will modify the files to make them easier to just drop-in. I was a little bit cavalier about the file names when I set this up.

@KiwiWrath Thank you, that worked. Just added this to existing save

Is it possible to implement something like this but for custom work details?

this is the method i found to add this mod when i already had interface tweaks mod


rename CUSTOM_SYMBOLS.png to CUSTOM_SYMBOLS2.png

add this to your existing tile_page_interface file

[TILE_PAGE:MORE_CUSTOM_SYMBOLS]
[FILE:images/custom_symbols2.png]
[TILE_DIM:32:32]
[PAGE_DIM_PIXELS:288:160]

rename graphics_interface from this mod to graphics_interface2
and put everything in your

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\data\vanilla\vanilla_interface\graphics or equivalent

No worries ! I figured it out thank you!

@Sir Grievous you should link to your forum thread for better support, a long conversation in comments here is not going to work. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/discussions/18446744073709551615/5792223132444579698/?appid=975370

Anyone know how to fix this?

Reposting this here after having some difficulty manually installing a mod.

***Ugh, I got everything restored but now when I try to load in it says

"Failed to find compatible mod:
CaZsm's Squad Icons 0.1.1"

I updated that mod during this save to 0.2.1 just fine and now it's throwing me this error idk wth to do.

Nothing in the logs.

It seems like it is because even though it was updated on the save it's attached to the old version somehow.***

@Yerbatrix no not how the game is currently, currently its hardcoded to have only 8 labor detail icons, that repeat once you reach the 8th. Hopefully they change this.

Looks nice!
Would be possible to make more labor details icons?

Oh hey, nice! Thanks!

@Xenonex I've been looking for how to do this, so thanks!

@twsta I use this mod. I thought it'd let you choose which icon to use per each detail, which is a much needed feature, but nah. I assume we will see this feature soon.

@Sneed (formerly Chuck) @CaZsm:

I think you 2 may be describing a mod that already exists: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2899155457

For UX reasons in the mod list I do agree.

"Squad & Burrow Icons" would be a much better name for this

Once they change that, i feel like we will be in much better territory in terms of labor.

Unfortunately labor details only choose from a selection of pre-set icons, up to 8 before repeating. I can make icons for these, but they're quite limited.

Can these icons be used in labor details?

Hello, nothing directly related to the mod, but how did you change the font ? didn't found anything about it

@Robostove
Yes, most graphical mods or simpler mods that don't affect world generation can be added to an existing save. You'll need to past the objects and/or graphics folder from the mod into the folder in installed_mods for a mod currently being used by that save, or into one of the vanilla folders in data\vanilla\ if the save isn't using any mods.

love the license at the end of this! thanks for your work!!

Awesome symbols! Are QoL mods like this safe to add to existing saves? I'm new to the game.

Thanks for doing the work that they should have done.

Excellent work! The new goblet looks even fancier, very nice.

Done!

Wow, these are great! Very clear to look at, nice idea with the crutch & bandage.

And that is released, enjoy the icon overload.
Realized I still have a few more locations to do though, skipped over a few lol:
- Sun
- Tree
- Grass
- Cavern 1
- Cavern 2
- Magma
- Gem
- Metal Bar

You're a machine! Great job!

Fingers crossed lol. Icons completed for half of the below list including the bed icon, todo still:
- Anvil
- Goblet
- Mushroom
- Wheat
- Chisel & Hammer
- Thread
- Pickaxe
- Fish
- Hospital
- Cage

Haha hope it's not ending up too many icons to make! They do look nice and polished though.
One last idea I had for something I sometimes use burrows for, maybe a bed? (Or pillow?)

Would be good too:
- Cage

Okay, add
- Anvil
- Goblet
- Mushroom
- Wheat
- Chisel & Hammer
- Thread
- Pickaxe
- Fish
- Hospital

I don't use burrows often so I didn't even notice, that's cool. I can definitely do a couple of layer related icons as well.
Complete to-do list:
- Mace
- Whip
- Axe
- Sun
- Tree
- Grass
- Cavern 1
- Cavern 2
- Magma
- Gem
- Metal Bar
- Dogs
- Animals
- Cave
- Tower
- Bridge
- Fortification
- Door
- Castle / Fort
- Crossed swords
- Crossed axes

Wonder at what point there are too many...

A few other burrow-specific ideas for restricting dwarves to various industry areas:
Anvil, goblet/tankard/mug, mushroom, wheat, gem, chisel (& hammer), spool of thread, pickaxe, fish, hospital (swiss cross? Bandage? )

Thanks so much for your quick work on this!

Just noticing that these icons get used not only for squads, but also for burrows, so it's a two-in-one mod!

Given that these icons work for burrows too, maybe an icon to depict the surface (tree? Grass? Sun?) and one to depict the fortress (Door? Fort? Crossed swords / crossed axes?) could be handy?

Thanks!
