Decision ICON

How do I define/setup an ICON in my decision.txt?

The WIKI sucks on this topic.

It's right here.

"The WIKI sucks on this topic."

This means that the WIKI doesn't explain the thing well enough.

I tried like the WIKI said but it doesn't work.

So where are you getting stuck? You create a separate file in the GFX folder. See how vanilla does it and adjust from there.

I added the following to my decision.

my_decision_julia{
spriteTypes = {
spriteType = {
name = "GFX_my_decision_julia"
texturefile = "gfx\\interface\\decision_icon_catholic_pilgrimage.dds"
}
}
}

It doesn't work.


PS why is this forum removing my space characters. This is stupid.

spriteTypes = {
    spriteType = {
        name = "GFX_my_decision_julia"
        texturefile = "gfx\\interface\\decision_icon_catholic_pilgrimage.dds"
    }
}

All goes in a separate file. You really should read more carefully. The wiki contains all of this information.

Oh, now I see it too. It's irritating written. There should be more information about this.

For example: You need to specify your icon in a separate text file with an GFX extension. This should be in your GFX text file written:

spriteTypes = {
spriteType = {
name = "GFX_<YOUR_DECISION_NAME_HERE>"
texturefile = "gfx\\interface\\<YOUR_DDS_FILENAME_HERE>"
}
}

Make sure to change <YOUR_DECISION_NAME_HERE> with your actually decision name and <YOUR_DDS_FILENAME_HERE> with your actually dds filename in gfx\\interface\\ directory.

You can add more icons by simply adding more spriteType{...} within your spriteTypes{...} in your GFX file. For example:

spriteTypes = {
spriteType = {
name = "GFX_my_first_decision"
texturefile = "gfx\\interface\\my_first_decision.dds"
}

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_my_second_decision"
texturefile = "gfx\\interface\\my_second_decision.dds"
}

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_my_third_decision"
texturefile = "gfx\\interface\\my_third_decision.dds"
}
}

Then edit the wiki?
