1.3.2

This smaller patch focuses on structural code improvements, enhanced code modularity and some minor adjustments to facilitate ongoing mod development.

• Replaced multiple OverrideIconsFor...OnStageStart() methods with a generic templated method OverridePingIconsForObjects<T>().
• Added dedicated method OverridePingIconsForTeleporters() to handle teleporters and TeleporterInteraction separetely, as they require different management than other interactables.
• Reduced code nesting for improved readability.
• Refactored several methods to increase modularity.
• Renamed some methods and variables to maintain consistent naming conventions.

Docs

• Introduced Table of Contents in the README.
• Introduced Development Tools section.
• Introduced Credits & Thanks section.
• Added collapsable menus for tables with more than 2 items to improve README readability.

Bug Fixes

• Teleporter and Lunar Teleporter now display correct icons, thanks to the new OverridePingIconsForTeleporters() method.

1.3.1

• Forgot to include the DLLs in the previous release — this update makes sure everything is correctly packaged for Thunderstore so the mod actually works.
• Huge thanks to SuDmit from the RoR2 Modding Discord server for pointing it out!
• Patched README issue - Crashed Multishop icon was not rendering properly.

Known Issues

• Skill issue strikes again. :(

1.3.0

• Added icons for Shrines category.
• Feedback welcome! If you have suggestions or thoughts about the shrine icons—or any other icons in the mod—feel free to share them.

1.2.0

• Added icons for Skill related category.
• Now checking for IDisplayNameProvider and adding one if needed, to ensure interactables like Quantum Tunnel display icons correctly (unfortunately, this doesn't fix the issue with Log Pickup).

1.1.0

• Added icons for Charging Zones category.

Bug Fixes

• Legendary Chest on Abyssal Depths now displays correct icon.
• Artifact Pickup now displays correct icon.

Dev Tools

• Pressing \ (Backslash) now logs all tracked InstanceTracker entries to the console, to aid with debugging interactables.

Known Issues

• Teleporter (normal and primordial) icon is not displayed - currently investigating correct implementation.
• Log Pickup is still not displaying the correct icon.

1.0.2

• README updated for Thunderstore, hopefully for sure.
• Moved icon initialization to Start method.

Known Issues

0.4.1

• Replaced hard-coded addressable strings with constants from RoR2BepInExPack.GameAssetPaths.
• Improved AddPingIconOverride: now checks for an existing PingInfoProvider before adding a new one, and updates the sprite if already present.
• Encrusted Lockbox now correctly displays its ping icon (due to the AddPingIconOverride update).
• Logger is now properly initialized in Awake(), ensuring messages display correctly in the debug console.
• First release on Thunderstore!
