I'm having trouble getting custom icons to work. I have dxt5 40px square icons, with "_selected" variants, in the 000_FilterExtensions/Icons/Autoloaded_Icons_Mods, and the subcategory references the unselected icon just by file name, but no icons are showing in-game. Do the icons need file paths, or a different format? Or should they go somewhere else?

Should be png files, I think

[Rodger]

Well I've tried png now too, still no luck. Tried the full path and just the img name, and no obvious errors in player.log (it says the images load correctly). Any other ideas?

Maybe some cfg error? Neither of these work:

SUBCATEGORY
{
    name = Apollo
    icon = 000_FilterExtensions/Icons/Autoloaded_Icons_Mods/BDBFEapollo
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = path
            value = Bluedog_DB/Parts/Apollo
        }
    }
}
SUBCATEGORY
{
    name = Agena
    icon = BDBFEapollo
    FILTER
    {
        CHECK
        {
            type = path
            value = Bluedog_DB/Parts/Agena
        }
    }
}

No, just make it a dependency

[kerbmario]

but how am i gonna deliver icons and cfg if user hasnt installed FE?
it would create the FE folder, with icon and cfg, making it useless if someone hasnt installed FE! @linuxgurugamer

Really? I'm not at my PC right now so I can't double check, but I swear I have a custom config with icons in it's own separate folder and it seems to work just fine. I do delete the stock config folder though if it makes a difference.

if you are at your PC, could you give me CFG?

I've got some custom Manufacturer icons that I saved in a GameData/ZZZ_Custom/Icons folder as 32x32 px dds files. As long as I name the icon exactly the same as the mods folder name in GameData and (optionally) have another named the same with _selected suffix then they seem to show up fine in game. I haven't made any specifically for my RP-1 game (not enough parts to need it) but the ReStock+ and Squad Expansion icons I use for other games are showing up fine.

Won't it be useless with FE installed?

I just looked at my config and this is how I was doing it as well. I like to prefix my icons with an acronym of my username to keep them distinct.

[Rodger]

Finally worked out why my icons weren't working, 40x40 is too big despite what the FE wiki on github said. I've just edited the wiki (example subcategory page) to reflect the true requirements.

I've recently put the error logging to screen and noticed that when loading the game I've gotten a few alerts about this mod.   Here's a sample from my log file:

Quote

[ERR 11:28:30.564] [Filter Extensions 3.2.0.3]: subcategory name duplicated: Prop Engines

I know I don't have any of the huge parts (last few categories) so I can understand if these categories aren't instantiated.  I'm just wondering if it is normal/typical behaviour to report these to the log file as errors, in which case I can safely ignore, or is this behaviour unusual and I need to dive in a little deeper.

Happy to dig out all the mod list / log files if necessary, but didn't want to bother anyone with in-depth checking if the answer is "oh yeah, totally normal, does this all the time!"

I made a new filter for SXT Mod. It works fine so far. Is it possible to determine where in the list it appears? Appearently order of categories is not alplanumerical, but what is it?

Without know the the file(s) you have, it's impossible to say what's going on.  It does go alphabetically when reading files, I think

[New Horizons]

Checked it again. Order of filters is alphanumerical, but beginning after the green symbols. That makes sense.

Late, I know.

You can ignore those

[Iodyne]

@linuxgurugamer Just so you know there is no .zip release with the most recent version (3.2.8) on Github. Am I right in assuming I can just grab the "000_FilterExtensions",  "000_FilterExtensions_Configs", and "zFinal_FilterExtensions" folders from the source code zip?

[Grimmas]

@Iodyne if you do that then you won't get the actual plugin (DLL) and the mod won't work. But the latest changes in 3.2.8 only concern the following two files, so you could just replace these in a working 3.2.7.1 install with the latest versions from 3.2.8:

000_FilterExtensions_Configs/Default/Mod_FarFutureTechnologies.cfg
000_FilterExtensions_Configs/Default/Mod_NearFutureTechnologies.cfg

No, you need the full zip, available from Spacedock..

I'll get it uploaded now

Edit:  It's there.  This is actually the 2nd mod that this was reported to me with this issue, wondering if Github had a problem
