bnason - How do you change the icons in 3.5e, is it by editing the ruleset (your graphics_misc.xml file you mentioned) or some other means? If you edit your ruleset directly I'm pretty sure you would have to edit the extensions as well. I'll look into what I can do to have them pull from non-extension resources but I did make it a point to keep them self-contained and independent of the ruleset. Sorry this bug arose as a result.
The way theme extensions work is pretty simple - the base extension.xml calls a set of XML files that redefine the ruleset interface, for example:
That in turn contains a set of (definitions?) that complement/replace the base ruleset. For example, in the 3.5 ruleset, the default graphics_misc.xml (it's in the 3.5E.pak ruleset in the default Fantasy Grounds II install location - program files, not the appdata directory), you have:Code:<includefile source="graphics/graphics_frames.xml" />
In the theme extension, it simply overwrites this. The extension file has a similar folder structure (\graphics\graphics_misc.xml), and references the exact same line above. However, it contains a separate folder of graphics that overwrite the 3.5E.pak graphics.Quote:
<icon name="button_people" file="graphics/sidebar/button_people.png" />
It may not even be possible to do what I'm thinking... essentially, "icon name" for button_towns, etc., is being defined in two extensions simultaneously (or sequentially? I have no idea how extensions are loaded), and naturally, the actual extension file is taking precedence...
EDIT: As I'm writing this, I'm answering my own question. FG2 appears to load extensions alphabetically (I think?) -- so renaming my theme extension to z.blah blah blah loads it after the Town/Shop extensions, and everything works swimmingly now :)
PS - Attached my theme extension if you're curious as to what it looks like. :) (link is below from my dropbox, appears to be too large for the forums).

Oh sweet, glad you answered your own question and got it to work. :)
Very cool extension by the way, I like the wood feel.
I wish I could take credit for it, it's an old theme that I think Dr. Z did, and/or was from FG2 offficially, with some revised sidebar graphics to give it a "Pathfinder" feel. I should actually check with those guys and see if they mind me "re-releasing" it as such :)
You should probably just add the <loadorder> tag to properties and set it to something like 15 in your skin.
Perfect, that did it - thanks for the tip, didn't know that was an option. Sorry for having derailed the thread, <3 the shop/town extension :)Quote:

Hey everyone!
Quick question about this EXT. Besides being a cool way to create Towns and Shops ahead of time (basically GM organizational stuff), are there any other aspects to this EXT that aren't obvious? Such as, do players ever see this info? Is there a way to drag a shop or town onto a region map or something?
Thanks
Emrak,
You kind of have to keep track of towns on maps by yourself at the current moment. My lack of scripting knowledge and my current players not giving a crap about the data has kind of put this ext on hold for me, but it's not dead. As soon as I can get some free time I have some good ideas at a revamp including adding options for the kingmaker rules in there as well. If you have any requests or want to help it might get me off of my butt :)

Ya, this is extension is cool as hell. I was really diggin' it. Hope you can find some time for it.
