You know what might be a much more fitting icon? If you grabbed the gear half of any MEC class' icon and mirrored it to a full gear. Obviously it would require knowledge of how the texture files actually work, but for someone who does it should be trivial, and it could be loaded with TexMod, so it wouldn't need to be reinstalled every time LWR updates (and to those of us already using texmod for Colored Class Icons and Mec Icons it wouldn't be any extra steps, just drop it in a folder).
Wanted to make a simple mod which didn't require any additional steps like using Texmod (which you have to load Long War through each time, according to my reading).
I already have all the textures (easy to do with uModel); however, I made a simple gear png texture if you want to use it : https://ibb.co/8cfWt6w
Oh thank you for that! Can I be a little bit more selfish and ask if you could provide that as a ready-to-texload .tpf file? I'm not very savy in anything regarding image and texture editing.
If I understand it, it should be set up to replace either of the two unused icons, so that when using this mod and loading the gear icon .tpf in texmod, it will set it for shiv only.
EDIT: Nevermind, I made the .tpf - but I realise now that your PatcherGUI file doesn't work for LWR, so no way to implement it for me unless I make rookies have the cog icon too.
The patcherGUI files are only for the 2 images listed above (because they are already included in the Enemy Within / Long War graphics packages - I can't include new graphics). I haven't used Texmod (but watched a tutorial on using it); however, I thought you were able to take the icon I created and have it substitute for the big blue blob shiv.
If you still really want it done, you might be able to ask Szmind and he might have an idea - if you can eventually find out how to add it, let me know !
On the barracks screen you will see a header which has icons (representing the class) and the number of each class you have. This modifies the shiv icon on the right hand side. It is a big blue blob - can't miss it !
