Star in the item icon - how do we do that?

This may sound a little bit silly, but how can we attach that little star icon to an item icon? I've seen that before, I was trying to figure out how to do that, but no luck so far.

 
Hmm.  It sounds like you are talking about the star that gets added when you mark something as a favorite in the crafting list...

Not sure if it's the same image, but you can also put it on items and it will show in the top left corner of the item icon. The question is how can we do that? Well, I think I found the answer. It's probably ItemTypeIcon property, but I haven't tested it yet. I wonder if it's possible to also give that little icon its own color!

ItemType Icon property is like the icon that appears above the anvil and the bellows, surely that's what you are looking for, changing the color can also be done, luckily.

I could not tell you, you can still change how to add color to the weapons or maybe it does not work like that.
It would be a matter of trial and error.

Could you point me to an example of an item where this little icon has some color? There are clearly no vanilla items like that, I already checked, but I would bet I've seen an item like that in a mod before, I just can't remember which mod it was, but maybe you do remember?

In this mod they change the icon to star, but not the color, check it.

Maybe you remember seeing this?





If so, they are just custom item icons to help them stick out in loot. 😅

Wait, so I will have to draw it? Grr! Oh well... Yeah, it looks similar to what I remember, but your stars look so pretty though, I remember there were some items with yellowish stars that didn't look so pretty, they were just flat one colored shapes.

I had stars in Wasteland Weapons to mark legendary weapons in A18. I changed it in A19 to just a glow behind the weapon. Either way though, yeah, custom icons made in GIMP. :)

Edit, added examples.

It takes no artistic skill.  I think I got the star from Windows standard images within their Paint 3D app. :)

OMG. I think this is what I remember seeing! LOL I love this so much!!! I would say it's the beauty of simplicity, I can't help it, I know it's just a little thing, but it's so freaking unique and cool as it adds that extra little detail and touch we haven't seen elsewhere. This is one of MANY reasons why I love your mods! :hug:

 
The original stars where just a rip off of FO4. Lol.

But I noticed when it came to having modded weapons and stuff, the little icons in the corners got crowded, so I changed it.

 
            <property name="ItemTypeIcon" value="star"/>
            <property name="CustomIcon" value="gunRifleT2MarksmanRifle"/>
            <property name="CustomIconTint" value="180,180,255"/>
            <property name="TintColor" value="0,255,255"/>

Yes, there is the star, but I wanted to know if / how it's possible to give that star its own color.
