Junction pictures still NOT SHOWING

[Cedriq]

No, you do not load the asset after creating a new one. You go to the road menu at the bottom of the screen then choose an interchange to plop....

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Thank you for being so patient with me. I have a brain damage.. I must have!

Hope you got it now Its a pain but it does help sorting through assets quicker. I did read in another thread that someone from CO is looking at a way to be able to save icon images to old assets. Let us hope they figure it out.

Barry, I dont mind the job. I got it working now - but (ofcourse there is a but) - I have no idea how to get a proper icon loaded. When I go into the open icons folder, there are just a bunch of weird ones in there. I guess I need to make my own, which I have no idea how to do. Or am I yet again missing something really obvious?

 

[barrygreybeard]

No you are not missing the obvious unfortunately. The only way to get your custom icons to show up is editing those png files with a picture editor (Photoshop or the free Gimp etc.) Probably not an easy job for the inexperienced in picture editing I'm afraid.

Thanks a lot again! Time to spend some time in the Workshop then

This is my one gripe with the patch and perhaps Workshop as well. This is still a game limiting "feature" for many.

Anyone know if there is a tutorial lying around on how to do this? I have photoshop and lightroom, use for photography - so perhaps if it is not 10.000 clicks to get the job done, I can do this?

after opening the folder containing the different .png files, just right click on the file "asset_thumb.png" and hit "open with" and select photoshop. it will open with that default icon as the background layer. New layer, have your own screenshot, make sure it's visible on top of the background layer. then flatten image. hit ctr+s to save that file. close the folder window that was open with the png files in it, go back to cities skylines and the icon you just made should be showing, click on the folder icon again to open the folder window, and you'll see the other icon.png will have autogenerated from the "asset_thumb.png".

Repeat for "asset_tooltip.png"

then save your asset.
that should do it.

Thank you, this worked for me.
