Schematic Icon "changing the little book on the top left"

[Vanblam]

Is it possible to change that little book icon on the top left of schematics using xml? Or do you have to write custom code? I saw this done in Undead Legacy, but it looks like its coded.

It is possible. Khzmusik has a "Book Icons" mod here:

And the git repo is here: https://gitlab.com/karlgiesing/7d2d-a19-modlets/-/tree/master/khzmusik_Book_Icons

It has a pretty in deph explanation at the bottom.

Thank you very much :D. The only problem I'm having is that I cannot get this to work on my new item schematics, seems to only work on the vanilla schematics. I tried changing my new schematic manually and it still did not change at all. I'm sure it's something stupid that I am not noticing lol. I do have my mod loading first, then khzmusik's "Book Icons" mod.

Can you post on how you did your schematics code?  I checked khzmusik's code out and it should do it for all of them, including yours.

If your schematic descends from "schematicMaster" then it should work. Otherwise you would have to add the icon properties in your schematic's XML code.

 

If you look in the README.md file of my modlet, the technical details should get you started.

 

Also - and I did not realize this when I made my modlet - you do not have to stick with the icons supplied by the game. You can also supply your own. @Jegethy did that in his own modlet that changes the book icons:

I just noticed what I did wrong, and you were already on the right track to check my schematic. FACE PALM! , it was unlocking the wrong item hahaha...  Thank you all for your help

Custom icons you say O.O , I'm all over that :D. I have a couple blueprint paper textures I would like to mess around with . 

oops, didn't mean to double quote there lol.

One more question. How would I change the size, position and whether its in the front of the icon or the back?
