IconSortingTags - Starfield Edition

IconSortingTags Starfield edition  is a sorting modification that uses icons. It works by adding new glyphs to the default game fonts

Languages supported are the default game ones : en, de, es, fr, it, pl, ptbr, ja, zhhans


----------
Installation:

Step1
very IMPORTANT: 
if you don't already have a StarfieldCustom.ini, file
-download it under the misc tab and place it in your Documents\My Games\Starfield\ folder
or
-create it manually with a notepad and add this content in it:

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
If you fail to do that, you will see dots instead of icons, in game.

-StarUI Inventory/Hud/Workbench: This mod works perfectly with the StarUI serie.Also, it's not a requirement but you might want to disable the native StarUI icons, if you want to avoid too much clutter with IconSortingTags in your UI. You can do with with the StarUI configurator or do this manually:.

----------

known Issues
-Some quest rewards and fixed objects in the world (mainly weapons) will retain the name they had when you found them. If you found such an item before installing the mod, the name will not have an icon, and vice versa. To remove icon, from a weapon you can edit its name in a workbench. However, you can't add icon, the UI does not allow that.

-Beware: If you edit the name of a weapon/armor in a workbench, and delete the icon in the process, you can't get the icon back (unless you reload your save).

----------
Uninstall:
-Remove the fonts and string files.
-If you renamed some weapon or armor with icon, or if you got some quest rewards and fixed objects (mostly weapon and sometimes armor), you might want to rename them in order to get rid of the dot from the missing icon.
