Interface icons fix (includes classic emotes) | DO NOT USE - USE COMMUNITY PATCH (CBP) INSTEAD

This mod is no longer supported.

Use the Community Balance/Bugfix Patch instead, which includes this mod.

For updated versions of these emotes, see Modernised Emotes.

This mod restores a few missing and/or broken icons, using part of files from a non-EE install of Rise of Nations. This includes restoring the classic emotes to be present and functional, and fixing the incorrect British Isles icon.

1) Subscribe to the mod.
2) Ensure that the mod is loaded and enabled in the Rise of Nations mod manager (accessible via Tools & Extras -> Steam Workshop).
3a) The fixed British Isles icon can be seen by selecting British Isles as your map style in a game lobby.
3b) To see the restored icons, use the following code in chat (in-game or lobby chat):


But replace @@ with a number. The restored icons are numbers 47-49*, 54-63, and 112-116.

* these three may have already worked before; I'm really not 100% sure as I've used some year-old notes here.

I'll be quite honest, beyond the British Isles fix I don't know what value fixing these has, as:
1) Only people with them fixed will be able to see other people using the icon codes.
2) I don't know where else these are actually used in the game (they might not be used anywhere else).

It's possible that you could use this mod as part of a foundation for simple chat mods that would allow you to use the "new" emotes, similar to the existing Rise of Babel taunt pack. Maybe you could call it "Rise of Discordance" or something.

This mod is NOT compatible with any other mod that modifies the following files:*
- iface_resources2.tga
- icon_texs.xml

*except for Rise of Discordance

IN MULTIPLAYER GAMES, IF NOT ALL PLAYERS ARE USING THIS MOD IT WILL CAUSE THE GAME TO GO OUT OF SYNC UPON LOADING. To prevent this simply disable the mod from the Workshop menu.
