Custom Strategic Icons

Adding Custom Strategic Icons

Unit Icon Selection

Units have a default icon name based on the unit json name, so assault_bot.json would have icon name of assault_bot.

Units can override the strategic icon name by including the si_name property. For example, each commander has a different json name, but the base commander includes "si_name": "commander", so they all use the generic commander icon.

Icon Files

The path to strategic icons is constructed by the icon atlas, so generally they are in:

/ui/main/atlas/icon_atlas/img/strategic_icons/icon_si_icon1.png

Where icon1 is the icon name.

Registering Icons

If you just need to add a small number of icons and are not concerned about multiple mods cumulatively exceeding max icons, all you need is an icon_atlas mod with:

model.strategicIcons.push('icon1', 'icon2', 'icon3')

For larger deployments, HodgePodge includes max icon protection and fallback aliasing.
