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
