Icon selection
NoNamePaul opened this issue ยท 3 comments
I have 2 little issues with the icon selection screen:
- The searchbar sometimes doesn't appear. I have to click custom icon and cancel to make it reappear (Probably gone with the new UI together with the X button being invisible)
- The search function appears to not function correctly at all:
I tried search for the Cyclone Icon (Druid) in 3 different ways:- Typing "cyclone"
- Typing the icon ID (136022 from wowhead)
- Typing the icon's name "Spell_nature_earthbind" (from wowhead)
None of these found the icon, just random other stuff or nothing at all.
It's really frustrating to go through all the icons to make the perfect interface.
Yeah I agree 100% that the search bar is broken. I thought I had the search bar hidden, but I guess you figured out how to get it to come back ;-)
The reason that the search is broken is because we can't search for icons based on Strings anymore, i.e. "cyclone". As of Legion, the only way to query an icon is to know the exact path location or the texture id, i.e. 445050504. Hence, since we're using the texture id's to populate the list we have lost our ability to have any "searchable". This was one of the very first bugs I encountered after taking over the project, so maybe I'll give it another go now that I'm more seasoned.
Maybe you could just give us an input field for an ID? We can easily search for it on wowhead:
So cyclone would be 136022?
Or is the texture id not the one shown in the wowhead url?
