For StarUI Inventory: edit the StarUI Inventory.ini file in the Starfield\Data\interface folder, and set the following parameters to 0 bShowItemTagIcon = 0 For StarUI Hud the StarUI HUD.ini file in the Starfield\Data\interface folder, and set the following parameters to 0 bHudTagShowItemTags = 0 bItemCardAddItemTag = 0 bShowItemTags = 0 Note: if you were using the IconSortingTags Lite version, you probably don't need it anymore as StarUIHud now covers most of it directly.
For StarUI Workbench, edit the StarUI Workbench.ini file in the Starfield\Data\interface folder, and set the following parameters to 0 bShowItemTagIcon = 0 bUseVanillaItemIcons = 0
-This mod does not let me sort my items alphabetically: Yes, that is the purpose of "sorting tags": to sort items by tags.
-Can you change the order of the icon for weapon and armor? No I can't, it's the way the string works in game at the moment. Icons are just replacing each word in the original name with the same order.
If you don't want such icons, use the "no icon for weapon and armor" option, available in the Fomod version
-I get dots instead of icons If you get dot instead of icons, use a data folder in Documents\My Games\Starfield\data (where you starfieldcustom.ini file should be, but in a subdirectory data\)
Also, be sure your "starfieldcustom.ini", is really named "starfieldcustom.ini" and not "starfieldcustom.ini.txt". Windows hides the real extension by default so it's a common mistake. If you are not sure, you can simply download the file correctly named in the download>misc section
Recently most of my resources and all of my weapons and armor have lost their icons. I just have vanilla text and I hate it. Despite updating to the latest version. Is there any way I can get it to reset. I've tried uninstalling (which turns all text to unreadable rectangles) and re-installing and very surprised that did nothing. Any ideas?
you seem to have remnant string files, take a look in the game\data\strings folder and also in the mydocument\mygame\starfield\data\strings folder. (you can safely remove those folder before reinstalling the mod)
I am currently having the same issue. Tried deleting the suggested files before a reinstall but no luck. Tired reinstalling with all of the "Full_All_Default" options.
I was able to get it working again (sort of) by running my mods through xTranslator, but some items then had icons doubled up. E.g. all of my grenades had 2 grenade icons (one larger coloured icon, one smaller white icon). Using StarUI.
I have just notice the suggestion in the stickyabout disabling icons for StarUI, I'll give that a go.
Same here, but I noticed I'm only missing icons on weapons and armour. I'm pretty sure my issue is caused by Starfield Extended - Craftable Quality which basically overwrites all weapons and armour in the game which I imagine changes the text for the names as well?
This mod worked perfectly for me before, but then I had to reinstall everything from scratch. Now, the mod does not work at all. I have tried to install and reinstall it many times, but it doesn't work, which is very unfortunate because it is such a good mod.
sinceramente llevo mas de 2 horas tratandod e que funcione ya instale el starui inventory porque no tenia la carpeta interfaz pero eso no es el problema sino que hay como 20 (solo exagero) verciones de las strings y no queda claro comon instalarlos segun es en la carpeta interfaces pero que pego toda la carpeta de las verciones de cadena o solo una de todas las carpeta y solo pegaria la carpeta o el contenido de la carpeta es confuso y recalco segun los datos que hay para descargar ni hay una vercion actualizada para las reglas de instalacion eespero tomes en cuenta estos detalles y me agradaria una solucion porque solo hay un video en youtuve de como instalar y es de la vercion .9 y ya estamos en la 20 espero respondas pronto ,saludos
Actualizacion tarde horas pero funciono ahora solo diria se mas especifico para los que quieran pones los mods extras sugerido yo no los uso asi que me saltoe se paso saludos
I want to know how to disable icons by item type in the .ini from your mod, similarly to how you instructed to do with StarUI. But in this case, I want to deactivate several icons of various types of things and leave only those in apparel. And for weapons, I want to leave only the quality option.
I'm having a bit of the dumb. What exactly does the "resource element" tag on some food items mean? I know the little pot icon is that it's an ingredient in cooking other things. Is it just that a component of making that item requires something from the resource category such as Alien Tea requiring fiber?
Huge thank you for the mod mcguuffin! Can't imagine wading through all the loot without it. Will you update it for the new items that'll come with Shattered Space?
Just a heads up that I've run into a crash with this mod active via vortex mod loader, specifically when exitting the in game creations menu back to the start menu. Deactivating this mod and using creations I don't get the crash, but also I haven't had a crash with this mod active as long as I don't access the creations menu.
Outpost shipyards have "Lookup Failed" in place of purchasing and editing the new buggy... Everything seems to still work, but Icon Sorting Tags just needs a minor update so that the entry on the outpost landing pad menu shows correctly...

take a look in the game\data\strings folder and also in the mydocument\mygame\starfield\data\strings folder.

I don't see how this mod could have an effect on that...
Enjoy !
