How to Rename PDA Icons?
I'm customizing a map and I've successfully located and moved the pda icons for the hotspots.... cow, sheep, shop, etc. I found these all in the map01.xml file. But I've got a couple icons on my pda that aren't located in the map.xml. One is Gas Station. Another is an unloading trigger point that I imported from another map. It still has the original farm's name associated with it and for the life of me I can't track down where the icon or this name are located. I've searched the i3d files and every file I can think of. I'm sure it's an easy answer. Help?

Re: Problem with PDA Icons
There should be a node called Icon inside the trigger node as far as where the "visit" icon position should be. The name of the sell point is a pre-defined name based on the map01.xml array name such as "FARMER_1" or something like that. Check the Emerald Valley map, I have those set correct in there so you can find an example.

Re: Problem with PDA Icons
I'm a little lost here since I don't know what you mean by "node." Are you talking about something in the i3d file or the xml? And I'm still not certain where the sell point name is defined. I see FARMER_1 and other names in the map01.xml. Is there another file other than the map01.xml I need to look at?mcatalyst wrote: ↑Wed Apr 18, 2018 7:48 pm There should be a node called Icon inside the trigger node as far as where the "visit" icon position should be.

Meanwhile, I will look at Emerald Valley. I don't have that mod installed yet.
Thanks for the response.

Re: Problem with PDA Icons
Yes I've done that tutorial. It covers the basics of moving the icons. But it assumes you've already got the icons with their proper names set up in the xml. Do you know how to change the visible name of a sell point associated with an icon?W1der wrote: ↑Wed Apr 18, 2018 9:12 pm This tutorial helped me figure it out ...

For instance in Goldcrest there is a sell point called "Gomez Ridge Acres." I can't for the life of me find where that name is defined.
Thanks.

Thanks. There was no "stationName" in attributes so I created one and it didn't change anything.

You also added an l10n entry for that stationName in the ModDesc.xml ? If not then thats the case
