I'm trying to add a new item to the game. I've got the item defined as:

<item name="resource_hand_tools">
<property name="HoldType" value="45"/>
<property name="DescriptionKey" value="resource_hand_toolsDesc"/>
<property name="CustomIcon" value="resourceHandTools"/>
<property name="Meshfile" value="#Other/Items?Misc/parcelPrefab.prefab"/>
<property name="DropMeshFile" value="#Other/Items?Misc/sack_droppedPrefab.prefab"/>
<property name="Material" value="Mmetal"/>
<property name="StackNumber" value="1"/>
<property name="EconomicValue" value="0"/>
<property name="EconomicBundleSize" value="1"/>
<property name="SellableToTrader" value="False"/>
<property name="CustomIconTint" value="FFFFFF"/>
<property name="Group" value="Resources"/>
</item>




And my mod structured as:

The item works as I intend in terms of recipes, showing up in loot, etc., But the inventory icon is blank. I have tried not using CustomIcon/CustomIconTint and the effect is the same.

Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this issue? Attached the icon file for inspection, it's a 160x160 PNG with transparent background which AFAICT is the same as all the vanilla icons.

Hi Subject4056

The folder you put is wrong and you need to add one more.
The folders for the icons is:
UIAtlases - ItemIconAtlas, in the second folder is where you put your images of your mod (png format and size 160x160), that's why it doesn't show you anything.
Regards

 
File path in Mod Launcher for the item icons I added for my modifications to The Wasteland:

C:\7D2D\Custom\MyMods\7_Days_to_Fallout\Mods\Xtended_Wasteland_2_0\UIAtlases\ItemIconAtlas

Default path would look like:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Mods\Xtended_Wasteland_2_0\UIAtlases\ItemIconAtlas

 
Changing the path to <MOD>/UIAtlases/ItemIconAtlas worked, thanks Gouki and Evil_Geoff! I've had a look at the tutorials forum but didn't see any good introduction on adding custom icons, any you could recommend?
