Need help with icons

Also if there is no customicon line it looks for an icon with the same name, as long as the parent item it extends from does not have a customicon entry.

For example if you have an item or block named "MyAwesomeItem" and you put an icon named "MyAwesomeItem.png" in your itemiconatlas folder it will work fine.

It is a lot less code when you have hundreds of custom items and blocks.

 
Hi, just getting back into modding after a long hiatus and I'm curious if the format for custom icons has changed in A18.3?

I have my items, icons and folders as they are supposed to be. I have also used the proper format for the folders names for the icons. UIAtlases/ItemIconAtlas.

My custom Icons are 160x160 png with transparent background with the exact same name as the item (copied and pasted to be sure). Still no luck, even with copying an existing icon and renamed to the custom item name.

I've tried with adding <property name="CustomIcon" value="customItemNameHere" /> and not using it (which is still supposed to work if the Icon name is the same, which it is).

Also, I have my ModInfo.xml correct as all my items are in game and loading from the Mods folder as intended, just the Icons are not showing up unless I use an existing items icon with the CustomIcon property.

For example, a crossbow. If I use <property name="CustomIcon" value="gunCrossbowCompound" /> it shows the Compound Crossbow icon no problem. But if I specify my custom icon, <property name="CustomIcon" value="gunAdvancedCrossbow" /> it shows nothing.

This is all on a dedicated server, and a "rental" live server, not a single player game.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

 
Do you have the mod installed on both server and client sides? From what I have read, it should work if it's installed on both. I have this for a custom item and it shows up fine for me using the code...

<property name="CustomIcon" value="Tool-SledgeHammer"/>

Thanks for the reply. I'd rather have no downloads needed. Items are working server side already so I'll have to workaround using existing icons with customTint.
