@sir Evans - you have to go to tonechild's link ( https://imgur.com/gallery/vexD6lw ) and download each individual icon. I named them "Colored_lantern_(color)". Make sure the (color) is the color of the file you are downloading from imgur.

Go to your steam directory and then into steamapps>workshop>content>(some#)>1577972887

Hit ctrl+x or just copy/cut this folder. Move it to your Kenshi>mods folder. Rename the folder from 1577972887 to the same name as the .mod file inside it ( Wolf's MultiColored Lanterns ). ##You probably want to unsubscribe from this mod on the workshop at this point.

Open up the folder now in Kenshi>mods>Wolf's MultiColored Lanterns and create a new folder within it. Name it "icons" all lower case. Take the .png files you saved from tonechild's imgur link and put them in there.

Now fire up FCS and select the Wolf's Lantern mod. I click on the "Changes" button on the top to see everything. From here select the lanterns, make sure the height and width are set to 2. The Icon field will have a "..." to choose a file path. Go to Kenshi>mods>Wolf's MultiColored Lanterns>icons and select the correct lantern.png for each lantern. If you don't see the images in the file browser you may need to change the file type to "png" in the bottom right of the window.

There's also another value you need to change, I think it's called "Autogenerate icon" or something and by default it was set to "True". That needs to be set to "false" or it won't display the custom icons we pointed it at.

Uh, that's it?

@tonechild
How do you fix these icons? I made my own, placed them in mod folder and pointed mod to them.
And nothing?

All right, just glad it still works after all this time.

@Wolf thanks for the reply, I hear ya - have modded quite a few games and I do the same. Great contribution you made here. I might post an update once I get around to figuring out how. Right now am too lazy and am enjoying your mod with the updated icons.

Haven't launched the game in a while, so i don't think i'll update this anytime soon.
This was just to add a bit of customization to lights, there was no balance intended.
If you want to make a patch, by all means do so. Even put a link to it in the comments.

I have created the inventory icons for the lanterns. If you use them, you will need to change the size from 2x1 to 2x2, as this will take up the whole belt size: https://imgur.com/gallery/vexD6lw

Just to confirm, I did find that the icons were missing. When putting the icons in the mod folder, the inventory images appear properly. Not sure why you can't just reference the existing icons in the data folder though. I'm going to make multicolored icons you can use if you don't want to use my patch. I'd rather it that way because the patch I want to make would make this less OP. The hiver lanterns have charges (200)

I want to patch this mod with a fix for the lanterns to be visible in inventory. I also want to make a another patch that makes the lantern not as easily created (just feels too OP for me but I think you should keep it, so I want to patch it) - is that ok?

Great mod, but the lanterns are invisible in the inventory. Would be great to just use the existing lantern inventory images which are sold by hivers. You could also use a program like GIMP to just change the color of the lantern for each one.
