Check out the "Icon Fixes for 7.10" Thread if anyone is interested in fixing this mod a bit :)

Is there a Non VRO version of this?
viperfan7 Jul 10, 2024 @ 8:19pm 
Any plans on updating this?

Whelp, I attempted to change things to be compatible for personal use at least, and the changes didn't take effect just adding the new paths to your icons.xml using your textures to replace >< Something about modding X series games has never clicked with me using xml patching and packing and unpacking .cat files and such. Frustratingly rarely works out for me, and don't know why. I concede defeat lol Would love to see it updated someday though, but understand if you've moved on at this point. I shall attempt to get used to vanilla icons for the time being
Bloodwyn Jun 24, 2024 @ 11:10pm 
Alrighty, well, I don't know how I didn't notice at first, but if i'm not mistaken it looks like they added a "ship type" section in addition to the "ship icons" texture paths within the libraries/icons.xml. As well as something like 46 new textures to ...gui/textures/shipicons . So I suppose they expanded the ship icons on the map for 7.00? I honestly have used this mod for so long I couldn't even tell if they did or not just by looking, and missed it in the patch notes. So looks like a case of having more paths that would have to be defined and replaced with this mods' textures I suppose

I tried disabling every mod except this mod and VRO, downloaded and installed the no Timelines version of VRO, and disabled the Timelines DLC itself and the icons are still only partially working with the VRO assets dependency removed. So I assume something perhaps did change with the base game 7.00 update that is preventing it from working completely. I'm not sure exactly what that may have been so far though, unfortunately

UPDATE WHEN???????
Bloodwyn Jun 24, 2024 @ 2:59am 
The file structures/naming doesn't seem to have changed any from what I can tell looking at the .cat files with the X Catalog Tool, and no luck further messing around with dependencies. I'm far from adept at analyzing X4's files and mods though. Would love to hear from anyone else's experience and if it is all working properly for you or not on version 7.00+ with new Timelines DLC to see if it's just on my end somewhere
Bloodwyn Jun 24, 2024 @ 1:24am 
hmm, I used to be able to get all the icons to work again after VRO split into base mod and assets separately for 6.00 by removing the VRO_assets dependency line in the base VRO content.xml for whatever reason, but now with 7.00 it only fixes about half the icons unfortunately. In many cases it seems to only be certain ships within classes that show as vanilla, and others as intended with the mod. Mixed bag overall, though it seems that all heavy fighters and scouts now show as their vanilla icons. Not sure what has changed to cause that, but would love to figure it out

No idea if still works, it is very possible that VRO or the game has changed some names or something and broken the references
Based_Stickman Mar 24, 2024 @ 3:57pm 
does this work still ?
KLS Dec 2, 2023 @ 6:02am

Manticores and Teutas have very large icons with this mod.

is there a certain mod you need for that big khaak icon (ship mod)
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Dec 9, 2021 @ 7:44am 
Added a new Khaak Destroyer Icon let me know what you all think, based on X3 style like the other Khaak Icons
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Dec 8, 2021 @ 7:18am 
Thank You :luv:
Cor Blimey Sep 20, 2021 @ 2:36pm 
i love this mod so much - makes the map so much cleaner and more visually representative during big fights. Thanks!
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Apr 28, 2021 @ 12:59am 
Like I said, some people like them small because tiny dots represent a tiny fighter and that is not the main thing you worry about in a fleet, which fair..

others prefer them larger you could try change the icons size in the icons.xml file after you extract whole mod as it does not need to run as .cat it is just packed that way for shipping so to speak.

Otherwise you would have unzip the icons as I said and open them resize them inside the square but don't resize the actual image.. just select all and transform them to be larger, save them as DDS format and re zip them a gzip.

It is a little tedious if the process if not familiar.

Well def a great mod @MostDreams, sorry from what I could tell my prolbem was with the fighters, the other icons can be catch from just glancing on them. I guess it's also a matter of getting used to it? Will keep trying!
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Apr 27, 2021 @ 11:36am 
Would need too open extract the mod file using the XTools then literally load them in Gimp or any graphic editor capable of loading a .dds file type after extracting them from the .gz.

I have 2 minds about changing them, some people say they are too small/ some say they love them because the sizes fit what well with what a fighter class should be and its easily visible on the map that they are tiny little pee shooters.
Ael Apr 27, 2021 @ 10:46am 
I'm really sorry if this has been asked before but anyway to incrase the icon sizes? As a nearly blind old man I love the icons but having trouble for the smaller fighters.
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 8:58pm 
Sounds awesome :D
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Mar 23, 2021 @ 8:40pm 
I am planning some more updates to icons to flesh out the xen a bit more with racial themed icons of the ships used in XR and X3 as in the actual ship shape will be used for the class.

Some other ideas I had were to use top down images of the actual khaak and Xen Ships and cut them out and use them as the icon pics but white obv, unsure on the art direction yet but I felt some of these could be improved and I also wish to try an address the size so we don't have to squint as much to see them.

Interesting you saying that, I was using that mod while I streamed it was working to you yesterday.
FkYoSht Mar 23, 2021 @ 1:50pm 
Love you!:cryptolove:
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 1:27pm 
Holy moly I think I found it. I believe it is somehow GemFX, removing that mod has made it work again!
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:24am 
You know, one thing I have noticed. The Destroyers have a symbol when you target them (as in it shows the symbol of the class right above your target lock) but it doesnt show up on the map nor the buy section, so the symbol is indeed there, but there is something off with the map or the buy interface?
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:24am 
@Sooner
Sent request on steam for DM.
I checked and the icon does exist.
Pawmee Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:22am 
so for me the xr destroyer dont even have a symbol without this mod .. idk maybe i will just deactivate the xr shippack and can enjoy playing the game again ..
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:15am 
will double check
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:12am 
Yup, upon further inspection, every single destroyer has no icon, that is it.
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:11am 
Are you sure there is no typo maybe?
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:10am 
Well now that you mention it, it does seem that every missing icon is indeed a destroyer
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:08am 
Yeah I just looked sorry.
I don't patch it as there is no need destroyers already use ship_l_fight_01 vanilla icon which I replaced the image file directly, so if that does not work then NO destroyer icons would work.
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:06am 
Merlin destroyer (Antigone only)

From the XR Ship pack mod page, under Argon ships
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 11:03am 
Unfortunately not, it is odd that the icon is pink in the buy menu, almost like I am missing a texture or something
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 10:59am 
I have tried a full reinstall, manual deleting workshop files to force updates, and simply unsubbing and resubbing in an attempt to get it updated. Still ships like the Merlin and Anarkis have no icon in the buy menu nor the map :/ I tried new games too, still no dice.
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Mar 23, 2021 @ 10:59am 
Done
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 10:58am 
Worth a shot
Mo¡stDreams  [author] Mar 23, 2021 @ 10:51am 
"I wonder if it might be because of the XR VRO patch maybe?"
No because I am using that, and with the way I have patched the icons in now its improbable that alterations too the macro files for the ships can impact it working, but for sanity I can add the mod as a optional dependency which should force this one to load after and this take precedence anyway.
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 10:42am 
Any update Kisu'chen?

Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 10:41am 
Same here no dice
Pawmee Mar 23, 2021 @ 10:21am

Pawmee Mar 23, 2021 @ 10:11am

Awesome.. this is great news.
I am middle of doing the same path fixes and improvement to the Vanilla Icon Pack right now.
Lamertologist Mar 23, 2021 @ 9:16am 
Working for me now :) Much Appreciated.
Sooner535{UFIP} Mar 23, 2021 @ 8:57am 
Hmm no dice for me, I am going to attempt a reinstall of the mod and a new game soon so I will let ya know if its just old games not working
Pawmee Mar 23, 2021 @ 8:55am
