Pacco Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 make an groups folder in your Game/Data/Configs folder like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Config\groups then make an xml called group_...... in that folder who´s look like this: <group name="......."> <item name="......"/> <item name=".........."/> <item name=".............."/> </group> save it, run game and they should appear in the cheat menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmar Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Here is a old version of a icon folder that was once used by another persons mod that I hung unto for reference. Must of the icons are for new items that the mod added but you it does feature some vanilla changes. Drag and drop it into the Mods folder. http://www.mediafire.com/download/mm83k7cwb6mz33o/ItemIconTest.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crock Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 is there away to combine them into one folder .. ??? easily?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmar Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 What, the images? Sure, just... put them all in the same folder. All the images in the ItemIcons will show up in the game. No extra coding or stuff required. If you have two different mods that have two different ItemIcon sets you just need to be merge their ItemIcons folders together. Thats all you need. Hopefully that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargen70 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Question, was trying to use the Mod "SteelModv3" but the icons are not showing up in game. 1: where does the custom Icons go in the 7d2d folder? hopefully I don't need a 2. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmar Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The Mods folder located in the main install directory. If the folder doesn't exist you need to add it manually. Steam\SteamApps\common\7 Days To Die The entire address right up to the folder that has the actual images should look something like this: Steam\SteamApps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods\ItemIconTest\ItemIcons That help clear it up? Edit: I took a peek at the SteelMod to see how they package their icons. They put their icons in a zipfolder called "SteelModIcons". Open this zip. Drag and drop the Mods folder to the game install directory. NOT the same as where the xml files go! Steam\SteamApps\common\7 Days To Die That should be it.

Valmar Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 The one I shared earlier is the only other iconmod folder I know of. At the risk of sounding arrogant I don't really look at other mods too often - specifically not large mod packs. I imagine you could look at the "big guys" and probably find icon mod folders, though. However I believe this method of adding icons is relatively new to the game so a lot of the older big mods may use the oldschool approach of modding assets. I'm not sure - that's just speculation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxTeller718 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 im creating icons for new recipes and items i am using. may not help you with replacing things but may inspire you to make some new items https://www.mediafire.com/?mddg4tdbgvsdurm some of them may seem silly, working on a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargen70 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes, thank you that helps alot. Next question and this is not about icons, so if you could either point me to the right post or just answer. question is, I am using the Steelmod and I have edited the both Degradation and DegradationMax, it was working fine. but today it seems that most of the weapons are using the vanilla value and not the custom value. help plz...

Pacco Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I would say the best way to make icons is Google and paint Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonous Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I have been running a server for awhile, but never got too into modding. The closest I used to get was recipes and sometimes installing a modpack. Now i see a lot of mods coming with icon sets. Does this mean that one can install a mod on a server and the custom icons work for anyone joining? This doesn't seem possible, but I am curious.

Players dont NEED any mod to installed to play. However if they do not have the iconpack added on their side then any items or blocks that rely on the customicons will be blank to them.

Thelonous Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Ok, I didn't think so. Was finding it weird seing a lot of mods where they created them for a server had icon packs with them. Why don't they include a version for servers that uses customicon property in xmls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmar Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Due to the extra work load, probably. Its what keeps me from making two versions, currently. Beyond that since it doesn't actually break the game or EAC (unlike asset modding) some probably just dont see it as a big deal. Anyone who plays the server and care about the missing icons can just go download the file. It isn't hard - its literally just a drag-and-drop process. Impossible to break anything even if you do it wrong - worse that could happen is that you put it in the wrong folder and don't get the icons. This could be exceptionally true for any mods that add OPTIONAL content to the game. Like, for example, my expanded storage mod. Its absolutely optional whether or not the player wants to take advantage of them. If they all had customicons anyone who is bothered by them being blank can either get the iconpack or just not use them. They could still play the game the same as vanilla and never notice since that mod does not intrude on them. Its not like they'll be finding blank items in loot or something - its literally something that they'd only see (or rather, not see) if they choose to craft them.
