Add label color support to pin menu

[Auda35]

Firstly, congratulations for your work, the mod is becoming amazing. I really like the new Map Pins with the districts and the wonders icons, but i think it is failing to take advantage of all its potential. What I would like is to use this system not only for planification of future wonders or districts but to assign labels to the map to name Features (mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, deserts) and Regions on the map. Something similar to the Map Labels mod for civ 5 http://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/map-labels.530637/ I've tried to edit it for myself and this is what i've got. What i miss are icons for rivers and other features. Could it be possible to add icon for rivers, mountains, jungles, natural wonders, etc the same way you've added for districts? Or if you dont like the idea could you indicate me how can i add them for my personal use? Thanks in advance and excuse my poor english, obviously is not my native language.

Yes, I think adding label support to map pins is a good idea and I'll see about that possibility. I'm curious how this feature will work in MP, as I'm not entirely familiar with how pins are synced normally and I'd like not to break that if possible. I think region icons may be a bit overkill on the other hand, as we'd like to keep the library of available icons limited to broadly useful ones, though I don't see any problem with being able to assign, say, a specific color to each label to help in sorting them out

@Auda35 I don't really see the use of this except for natural wonders, to be honest. Perhaps they already have icons, gotta take a look first. Since I already wanted to make the icons lists collapsible more icons shouldn't necessarily take up too much space.

But icons for relatively minor things like forests or rivers that are easily identifiable on the map? Hm, I disagree.

If you want to add icons yourself, here's a simple overview. MapPinPopup has a list for default icons (defaultIcons), the custom ones are added in PopulateIconOptions() and use custom stacks in the xml. For testing you could just add them to the default icons, given you already know their identifier (ICON_ ...).

These are the natural wonder icons:

Hardly identifiable at all..

Well, it is more for inmmersion purpose than for practical use (rename features like rivers to bring them more personality, not only to recognize them as rivers ).

Anyways, i'll modify it for myself if anyone want it.

BTW, I've succed to add the features list following your instructions but i agree that the icons sucks and are hardly identifiable. I've thought to use the icons that appear on the placement district lense instead, but i've failed to find the name of the icons. These are the icons that I refer to:

• For Mountains and Forests:
• For Rivers:
• And for Natural Wonders:

So.. @jacks0nX or anyone could point me to the name of those icons please? Thanks in advance and excuse me my english again.
