Good day everyone,<br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.48px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(231,234,239);" /><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.48px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(231,234,239);" />I was playing around with getting my own space on each sub-tool bar, so that I can break my main mod up and release bits independently, with out worrying about multiple placement issues or spamming up existing tool bars.<br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.48px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(231,234,239);" /><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.48px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(231,234,239);" />First, I started a new mod, based on the apiary example. I made a trapper. In the 'MyMods/Trapper folder', I added another folder, 'Game' and a file 'NecoraToolbar.rsc' so it is 'MyMods/Trapper/Game/NecoraToolbar.rsc'. This rsc looked like this...<br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.48px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(231,234,239);" />

The sprite sheet just points to a few 32x32 icons, in this case one, a maple leaf, for each tool bar icon. Same with string table.<br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.48px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(231,234,239);" />

Everything else was left the same. I built and packaged it up.<br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.48px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(231,234,239);" /><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.48px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(231,234,239);" />I moved both mods, Trapper.pkm and AnotherTrapper.pkm into my Windata in the steam folder, fired it up, enabled both mods, loaded a game, and the results are in the attached picture. As you can see, there is 1 maple leaf icon in the food tool bar, and both trappers are sitting happily side by side within it, despite both being separate mods.
