Install
Install using R2ModMan or similar.
Usage
Press the shortcut key to activate the Ioncs menu (Left CTRL + I by default but can be changed in R2ModMan) or use Info | Icons Radial
Menu selection. This brings up the Icons menu in the middle of the screen or as a circle if using the Radial UI.
Click an icon to toggle it. If that icon is not already present on the base, it will be added. If the icon was already present on the
base, it will be removed.
The configuration for the plugin includes the option to use up to 3 icons on the base (default) or to use up to 12 icons above the
mini's head.
Automatic Rotation
The positio of the icons is synchronized with the corresponding based in a gyroscopic way. When the mini sways diagonally when moving
the icons will not sway keeping the icons level. In addition the icons automatically rotate so that they are always facing the user
regardless of which direction the mini is facing or the direction that the camera is facing.
However, see Performance Modes below.
The Power Of Three
Up to three icons can be displayed on each base. However, the system will actually remember more and display one of the missing ones
when a displayed icon is toggled off. However, practical uses should be limited to three icons so that all active icons can be seen.
Stealth Mode
The plugin synchronizes the icons with the mini's stealth mode.
Performance Modes
The plugin supports two plugin modes: Low Performance (default) and High Performance. The low performance mode has some limitations
but it is less stressful on the CPU and thus ideal for lower power devices. The high performance mode overcomes the limitations of
low performance mode but places a greater stress on the CPU and thus is ideal for more powerful devices.
The Performance Mode can be switched by going into the R2ModMan configuration for the Icons Plugin. Under the Settings section there
should be a configuration for the performance setting.
Low Performanmce Mode
In this mode, only the selected mini is updated in terms of position a
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
