it is very good.
It's more convenient and looks nicer.

[y.petremann]

There should be style guidelines for making gui in mods and this should be a standart
I also strongly wanted buttons to be grouped together by category (logistic, blueprint ...)

[steinio]

BAM...

Thanks for reading my mind...
Tryed something with foreman, but i'm to lazy to do all mods you did.

Really great mod! I can't wait for more supported mods. Mainly this mod I use Orbital Ion Cannon it's in the text form at the moment

I definitely agree!

I've submitted a pull request on Github to add support for Orbital Ion Cannon. The button graphic is in a slightly different style (C&C style) than the other buttons; I hope this is agreeable.

Thank you for the effort but unfortunately I cannot accept your pull request. Due to evented appearance of the Ion Cannon Button, it's not enough just to add it to the list. Also due to problems with nested buttons like The Fat Controller, the code structure had to change.
New version is almost ready with the support for Orbital Ion Cannon. Just need some time to test it.

[madpav3l]

Roktaal, on github I have posted a issue with the mod, I hope you can have a look at it and help me.
Thanks

[Roktaal]

Yes I saw your issue post. I am working on the fix and it should have been ready yesterday but more issues arouse when I was testing. I am still experiencing various errors and bugs so the new version will have to be postponed until I manage to fix them all.
For now do not use this mod as it breaks The Fat Controller

[Qon]

Once installed it can't be removed! If you remove it the icons don't become text, they disappear completely instead! Please fix!
And it might break upgrade planner so the game crashes when you click the icon. Don't know if it's your fault or if it's a genuine upgrade planner bug. Yes, it's an upgrade planner error message, but it might be because mod iconizer messes with its values so it might be useful for you to see.

Edit: Thanks for quick fixes.

Thats not game breaking. Generally you only change mods when starting new games. Migration features are a bonus that most modable games dont even support at all, they are not an expectation.

Not a valid argument, this is factorio and not most other games we are talking about. It breaks functionality in the game, permanently. If something corrupts your savefiles it's pretty bad. I change mods all the time. I have 80 mods installed currently. Not going to restart 100h saves every time I find a new nuisance that requires a little mod. It's completely unpractical to follow your code of conduct if you actually use mods extensivly. Enjoy your game. Please do report bugs.

[seronis]

Its a bug. its just an exceptionally minor bug. Not game breaking. Game breaking would be your save/world gets corrupted or causes a crash during normal play. Changing mods is not something you do constantly during a single session sitting at your computer. Obviously it should be fixed if possible but calling it game breaking is crying wolf.

[Supercheese]

This is not OpenTTD -- changing mods mid-game should be allowed and should not trash your save file.

Maybe "game breaking" is a bit too much. I wouldn't say it's exceptionally minor though.

Game breaking would be your save/world gets corrupted

But it did corrupt my save. I can still play it, but I've lost features permanently. The only solution is going back to an earlier save that hasn't been corrupted. But then I lose tens of hours.

or causes a crash during normal play.

It does crash during normal play. If I press one of the mod iconizer buttons it crashes. Every single time. Intended use crashes the game.

Changing mods is not something you do constantly during a single session sitting at your computer.

Yes I do. I have 80 mods. Not counting the ones I've tried and disabled. You can't say I don't, you have no idea what you are talking about here.

I've reported a bug. Developers happen to like bug reports. If you don't like it, well I didn't do it for you. Please report bugs and enjoy your game. If you want to continue, use PM. This thread is about the mod and not about my bug report.

Game breaking bugs!
Once installed it can't be removed! If you remove it the icons don't become text, they disappear completely instead! Please fix!
And it might break upgrade planner so the game crashes when you click the icon. Don't know if it's your fault or if it's a genuine upgrade planner bug. Yes, it's an upgrade planner error message, but it might be because mod iconizer messes with its values so it might be useful for you to see.

Mod iconizer 1.0.0

Unfortunately there is nothing I can do to make the buttons get back to original state. The only way to fix that is to follow steps 1-4 in OP under Important Notice
Regarding the upgrade planner error you get, it is not caused by Mod Iconizer. Line 46, to which the error points has nothing to do with the buttons therefore this mod is not affecting it in any way.

[Qon]

Thanks for the update! Upgrade planner works with Mod Iconizer now. Even if it wasn't your fault, your update still managed to fix the UP crash bug anyways.
Guess I don't have to disable it if it works now. Good job.

If with the updated Mod Iconizer, UP doesn't crash anymore then it was my fault after all. Oh well, glad it's fixed now.
It's great when you fix something without even trying to fix it

[madpav3l]

Good job with the new version, all is working fine. The user interface is so much nicer without the ugly text icons, this mod goes on my top 10 mod list, thanks again.

There is something you can do, creating a uninstaller mod, this one would revert things back before completely removing them
