Huh. That is odd as Ive tried a bunch of different mods lately and none of them seem to work. I've tried moving my files around to different folders as well and nothing seems to work. It must be something on my end since you seem to be getting it to work, but I'm not sure what. I'll probably just add in support myself for my Civilians mod anyways. Strange thing is it was working at one point and then it suddenly stopped the next day I tried playing.

EDIT: I found out what the problem is. Unfortunately one of my favorite old mods is not compatible with faf anymore. T.T Goodbye terraforming. I knew ye well.

@speed2
Thanks for the link

Well, most of the icon support is done inside the file "uiutil.lua", and coop is not touching this.
I will check this.

[Edit] 30 minutes later...

I started coop, Vanilla Campain, Black Earth.
Mods: Total Mayhem and Useful Civilians

Icons are displayd as normal. here you can see the icons from Total mayhem and Useful Civilians mod:

Hello Uveso, coop should use FAF patch and add few things on top of it, git repo is here https://github.com/FAForever/fa-coop if you want to have a look at it.

Maybe coop has some old files without the icon support from faf. And maybe its using some other new files from FAF that break the BO Global icon support mod.
Bad destructive hooks ^^ (but you can't prevent them in this case)

What mod does not has icons ? Maybe we should add a iconsupport to the mod itself ? (In case its one of your mods )
Its only 5 Minutes work to add complete icon support for a mod.

I can do this for you for free

Icon support failing in coop

2016-09-19T22:00:41+02:00

While playing coop with any mod FAFs icon support fails. No icons seem to be loaded for some reason and if you try to use the Blackops icon support to fix it the acu upgrades break. The error log just says it was unable to load any of the icons. I think its looking in the wrong folder. It says its looking in textures/ui/uef/icons/units instead of mods/modname/icons/units like normal.
