Improved Asset Icons
This mod adds or improves the icons for custom assets.
- Custom assets that do not have icons, but do have Steam Workshop previews will use the Workshop preview as their icon, instead of the default box icon.
- Custom assets with their own icons that use the default dark-blue focused icon will have their focused icon re-tinted to fit better with the built-in assets.
- Custom assets that do not have a tooltip image but do have Steam Workshop previews will use the Workshop preview as their tooltip image.
Note that some assets don’t even have Steam Workshop previews, so this mod won’t be able to do anything for them.
Source code is available on github[github.com].
Update (2015-09-05)
- Icons are now cached on disk, which should give improved loading times.
- Tree icons are now patched. Remember, some assets don’t have Steam Workshop previews, so will still have the default icon.
Update (2015-09-08)
- Blurry icons (when not in 1080p) fixed.
- Implement suggestion by Jonas for manually overriding icons. Place files in the cache directory named <package>.thumb.png and <package>.tooltip.png (or jpg) and delete the cache file to replace the package icon and tooltip with your own pictures. Thumbnails should be 100×100 and tooltip images should be 492×147.
- Performance improvements.
Update (2015-09-19)
- Improve resilience when patching icons.
- Allow skipping of patched icons. If you don’t like the look of a patched icon (or if it doesn’t work for you), rename the cache file (in e.g. C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonCities_SkylinesIAICache) with .skip after its name (e.g. 12345678.skip). The mod will then skip this icon on the next load.
