# Input Icon Mapping
|
||
|
||
The `InputIconMapper` in `input_options_menu.tscn` is a generalized tool meant to be broadly compatible with freely licensed icon asset packs. Instructions on how to use it with a few of these packs are provided, with links to download them from their creator's page.
|
||
|
||
## Kenney Input Prompts
|
||
|
||
### Automatic
|
||
|
||
With the project open, select `Project > Tools > Install Input Icons for Maaack's Game Template`.
|
||
|
||
Select a style and then wait for the icons to download, extract, and setup.
|
||
|
||
### Manual
|
||
|
||
Available from [kenney.nl](https://kenney.nl/assets/input-prompts) and [itch.io](https://kenney-assets.itch.io/input-prompts).
|
||
|
||
This pack is organized by `Device/IconType`. The `IconTypes` for each device are just `Default`, `Vector`, or `Double`. These instructions will assume using `Default`. In the inspector of `InputIconMapper`, set the `directories` to include the subdirectories of the asset pack.
|
||
* `.../kenney_input-prompts/Keyboard & Mouse/Default`
|
||
* `.../kenney_input-prompts/Generic/Default`
|
||
* `.../kenney_input-prompts/Xbox Series/Default`
|
||
* `.../kenney_input-prompts/PlayStation Series/Default`
|
||
* `.../kenney_input-prompts/Nintendo Switch/Default`
|
||
* `.../kenney_input-prompts/Steam Deck/Default`
|
||
|
||
Set `filtered_strings` to:
|
||
* `keyboard`
|
||
* `color`
|
||
* `button`
|
||
* `arrow`
|
||
|
||
Set `replace_strings` with the key pairs:
|
||
* `"Capslock": "Caps Lock"`
|
||
* `"Generic Stick": "Generic Left Stick"`
|
||
* `"Guide": "Home"`
|
||
* `"Slash Back": "Back Slash"`
|
||
* `"Slash Forward": "Slash"`
|
||
* `"Stick L": "Left Stick"`
|
||
* `"Stick R": "Right Stick"`
|
||
* `"Trigger L 1": "Left Shoulder"`
|
||
* `"Trigger L 2": "Left Trigger"`
|
||
* `"Trigger R 1": "Right Shoulder"`
|
||
* `"Trigger R 2": "Right Trigger"`
|
||
|
||
#### Filled Icons
|
||
|
||
Under the `FileLister` properties of the `InputIconMapper`, expand the `Constraints` and `Advanced Search` tabs. Set `ends_with=".png"` and `not_ends_with="outline.png"`.
|
||
|
||
Press `Refresh Files`.
|
||
|
||
If you want to use colored icons, in `prioritized_strings` add `color`. Otherwise set `filter="color"`.
|
||
|
||
Press `Match Icons to Inputs`.
|
||
|
||
Validate the results by inspecting the `matching_icons` dictionary.
|
||
|
||
#### Outlined Icons
|
||
|
||
Not all icons have outlined versions, so we will end up including the filled icons as fallback, and prioritizing outlined.
|
||
|
||
Under the `FileLister` properties of the `InputIconMapper`, expand the `Constraints` and `Advanced Search` export groups. Set `ends_with=".png"`.
|
||
|
||
Press `Refresh Files`.
|
||
|
||
Add to `filtered_strings`:
|
||
* `outline`
|
||
|
||
In `prioritized_strings` add `outline`. If you want to use colored icons, in `prioritized_strings` add `color`, too. Otherwise set `filter="color"`.
|
||
|
||
Press `Match Icons to Inputs`.
|
||
|
||
Validate the results by inspecting the `matching_icons` dictionary.
