UnitIcons

I think I see from Merr's Rally mod that uniticons has 7 spots. 2 4 8 16 32 64 128
The yellow Pacman for prepared is not used as far as I can tell.

Is there a 255 limit?

My thought was to shrink the current 1024x1024 to 512x512 and double the space. The next icon would be 256 512.

I'd have to check the code but my guess is that it's limited to just 8 entries. It's a small thing that I would like to make more flexible, but it needs to work without breaking all the current assets.

Shrinking didn't work. I guess I'll have to wait until you add more slots somehow.

In the meanwhile I used 16.

What is the trigger that picks the line that the icon comes from?

I see places where it sets or resets uniticonmask for suppressed, loaded, hold fire but I can't find when you get a promotion that it moves down a line.

[pipfromslitherine]

The line that it uses is defined by the unit status - the main game uses that for promotions etc, but it's not hard coded that the status is anything specific.

//returns the status of the unit, [0,3]
GetUnitStatus(id)

//sets the status of a unit. Valid values are 0,1,2,3. Changes the icon set used, and can be used to give extra abilities
SetUnitStatus(id, status)

So while we can add the 8th icon and get that to work, line 4 can be set in the editor but doesn't mean anything.

Am I wrong?

[pipfromslitherine]

The 4th state is not currently used by the game, no.
