About this mod Machine translation

Manually create icons in SkyUI's header.

English (use translator):

I've shared instructions on how to add an icon to any menu, as shown in my example...

It can still do this, but I won't analyze it in detail...

So, I recreated all the clothes from mods and vanilla for myself, in the process...

We will proceed in order from the beginning... During the analysis I will recommend mods and software because in my opinion they are more suitable and better, but this does not mean that there are no analogues. Some subtleties... I have my own storage modules and their naming. Based on this, nothing you see in the screenshots should confuse you...

If interested, then continue...

Everything we really need...:

  • Any Mod Manager that is convenient for you. I use Mod Organizer 2, do you have any suggestions...it will show...
  • Any file manager depends on your system. I use TotalCMD, which may appear in the screenshot.
  • Skyrim font in SWF format. we will work with him

My favorite Sovngarde. On top of it let's do... On the download tab it has a Desktop Edition but I don't parse it without skipping the step...

Download Bold and Light versions...

  • JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler. To decompile fonts.
  • Program for editing fonts. The best choice is FontCreator. The plan is paid, but there are similar ones, there are other options... Google is helping... but I will show it above...
  • SkyrimFontGen. The instructions are there, but I'll show a few things in my example.
  • SkyUI

deal with:

1.0 Install downloaded fonts in MO2. Starting from version 2, they are incompatible with each other and then they are installed in different folders. Then create another mod where we will save your changes. While I'm in MO2, it looks like this:

The font I plan to make will be stored in the "07 F0 02 A1Z in-font" folder.se_Sovngarde Bold&Light 8.5-Icon". This folder is empty for now.

2.0 Install JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler, and then install FD. You should install a version for your system or use an archive, I will...

2.1 Launch FD. Open fonts_sovngarde.swf in the BOLD variant. Go to Fonts in the left panel and see this image:

This is a beautiful print that we treasure! This is something we will continue to work on.

Now drag the fonts folder to the location where this version of the fonts is installed, or click on Fonts and PCM and "Export Selection" on the fonts on the right side of the window. Select TTF variation.

2.2 Repeat step 2.1 for the Light version font in the folder.

2.3 Close FD.3.0 I believe you are "crafty" and set up FontCreator yourself. Open its bold font version. I immediately renamed it "SovngardeBold.ttf"

3.1 Let's change the properties once to avoid confusion later. Click "Alt + Enter"

and made public in the picture.

3.2 Now we need to add a symbol that is not used in the font. Insert characters. In the window that opens, it is better to choose a display font that contains more characters. I changed them to use symbols that are easy to remember. For example, Malgun Gothic Semilight, MS Pgothic, Yu Gothic UI. at the end and stop. Enter $2464 in the "Go to code point" field, if you see the same thing as me you can continue...

3.3 What do we use icons for? For example, let's measure... Let the Weight icon be the 2464 dollar sign. Select it and click the mouse 2 times on the symbol, or click the "Add" button in the window. There are designated symbols in our fonts.

In order not to come back to it later, I suggest you right-click on the symbol and copy it to the buffer.

Now insert it, for example in Notepad++, even though it is not defined as the selected character. Let him lie...

3.4 Now it's time to find the icon... tell me how? Yandex, Google or whatever else you use...

You should understand that we want a monotone icon, so make a list of words that you want to change to make it look presentable. The lines should not be too thin or too thick.. don't forget about style and Laura...)

I selected this photo...I saved the image with the …

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
