Games icons

[princeseth]

Hello there ... a rather silly question but here i go ... under my avatar photo i can see the number 60 and under that some icons of the games / dlc i own ... o have synced them also but how can i make the latest icons visible ? like TFV and monks and mystics ? ... what happens if i choose to hide an icon ? its not important matter i know but if someone knows i appreciate ... thanks guys ...

Hiding will just hide (duh ) the icon under your avatar... you get to show it again later if you want.

At any point, you can show only 54 icons (slightly more as the HoI4 and Stellaris preorder ones count as one in the count, but he three can be show none the less).

ahhh i see ... will try it ..
thanks for the quick reply ...

My pleasure.

As you see under my avatar, you can chose to only show a small number (or even hide them all)... the only thing you won't be able to hide is the golden bar with your number of games.

Why one would hide one's icons I don't get though. They're something to sport proudly. Also gigau isn't it a bit anti IZC to not sport as many icons as possible?

(Also I think that Tyranny, like Stellaris and HOI4, also have that three for one thing meaning that will all three of those you would be able to have 10 full rows and not just 9!)

I've teased this before but I'll do it again .
We are reworking the Owned Item plugin to give users more control over what icons are displayed and in what order! It will also have a better view of showing what items grant avatars as well as icons. It's in the later stages of development but as we want to implement quite a few things in one go, I don't have a time frame for this to be deployed.

Oooooo I am more excited for this than I should be. It bugs my self-proclaimed OCD that I can't sort them by game and that I have four Stellaris icons

I agree ! The new plugin will be much better, allowing you to drag and drop icons to the position you want as well as double clicking to turn them on/off. It's a vast improvement and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it.

and that I have four Stellaris icons

Ehm you can already hide four of them as is.

 

[Dakka]

Is there anywhere I should watch for an announcement on when it will be ready?

The only options I see is to hide the base or hide the other three. I just want my Galaxy edition showing

They usually put up a banner telling about it when they have planned maintenance downtime.

Ah, that was the one you wanted solely showing. Well that's impossible and most likely will be so with the new system too.
What happens is that the galaxy icon actually is just a single icon, but which is three icons wide and shows the three possible ones side by side (was that understandable?). I.e. the three make up a single icon.

You then have an additional stellaris base icon from owning any of the editions. So you have two stellaris icons. Galaxy, whose icons is a stitching together of all three, and a base icon.

It makes sense. That's a shame, but so long as it doesn't put me over the icon limit (counting as one it shouldn't) I can get over it

It indeed only counts as one for the limit, so it actually makes you able to have more than 54 icons showing! As you can see with how I've 58 showing. HOI4 works the same---think Tyranny does so too.

Nah.... the glory of my golden bar is valuable enough... just need to find a way to blast @Had a dad 's one to pieces...

 

[Dakka]

The gold bar is how many pieces of PDX content you own, correct?

yeppers

 

[Dakka]

Well this has all been very helpful. Now we just need the ability to change our screen names and all will be right with the forums

Indeed.

 

[Had a dad]

just need to find a way to blast @Had a dad 's one to pieces

it'd break into 131 pieces probably...

Indeed.

I see, my affirmative reply to this very question wasn't quite enough of a clarification
