easy way to change Soldier role's icon

[Zaramorte]

 

first of all, u need an hex editor (i like Hexplorer)

in the example i'm using i selected the wrong icon for a new role: Sniper icon instead of Heavy Weapon one.

1) open ur last .SAV with the Hex editor and go to    Edit => Find.

2)type the name u used for the role u want to modify to find it: what u care about is "uitextures/roles/sniper1".

3)use Find function again and type the name of the texture u want to use to get its Hex conversion and copy it.

4) if the two textures names got the same length in hex numbers, just copy and paste the new one on the old one using   Edit => Paste external text =>as hex numbers.

 

If, as in the example shown, the two names got a different hex length, u'll need to go to uitextures\roles and rename the new texture to match the one u want to change.

So, in the case exposed, i made a new texture named "heavy11", then i copied and pasted his hex name as in point 4, and that's it

you can also just change the image in the uitextures/roles folder if you are not using the same icon for something else. Even works without reloading or restarting
