== Sample Code == | |||
If your mod uses only one icon and has a 64x64 atlas, you can use this: | |||
<node id="IconUV"> | |||
<attribute id="MapKey" type="FixedString" value="CSS_SharArmory_SharLogo"/> 1 | |||
<attribute id="U1" type="float" value="0.0"/> Left side of icon | |||
<attribute id="U2" type="float" value="1.0"/> Right side of icon | |||
<attribute id="V1" type="float" value="0.0"/> Top side of icon | |||
<attribute id="V2" type="float" value="1.0"/> Bottom side of icon | |||
</node> | |||
