strange icons behaviour

[bobingabout]

I defined an icons as follows:

Code: Select all

    icons =
    {
      {
        icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/sulfuric-acid.png",
        icon_size = 32,
        scale = 0.625,
        shift = {-6, -6}
      },
      {
        icon = "__bobplates__/graphics/icons/nitric-acid.png",
        icon_size = 64,
        scale = 0.625 * 0.5,
        shift = {6, 6}
      }
    },

See screenshot
expected result is on the left, that's an old icon that I edited together.
actual result is on the right.

It's been that way for a long time. The first icon in the definition is scaled to fit the container, regardless of what scale you give it. Successive icons are scaled relative to that. If you want to re-use icons to make a composite and they're all smaller than the originals, you have to put a blank icon with scale 1 on the bottom layer.

I figured that's what was going on, but I consider it a bug.
Depends what the devs think though I guess.

I would say more like undocumented behaviour, or a mismatch between user expectation and the actual mechanics, than a bug.

As long as changing it doesn't break everyone else's stuff, I'm fine with it changing. Vanilla never overlays icons on anything other than scale 1 base icons.

How is scale not doing anything for the first icon in the list not a bug?

scale
Type: Types/double
Default: 1
Values different than 1 specify the scale of the icon on default gui scale. Scale 2 means that the icon will be 2 times bigger on screen (and more pixelated).

That's pretty clear what it should do.

Well if everyone who uses it starts their icon list with a clear icon for the first one to use scale, or doesn't specify scale at all, then it shouldn't break things. Only if you specify a scale != 1 for your first icon (which is really weird to do with the bug unless you never test your mod at all...) will it break things. So I would say fix the bug.

Thanks for the report.
