Alternate inventory icons

I see this interesting feature in the 1.0.2.2 release notes: "CSC: added support for up to two alternate inventory icons using setinventoryicon". I also see the Set Inventory Icon option in the CSC itself.

Any guidance on how to use this? What goes in the open-ended value field that goes with Set Inventory Icon? A file name? If so, what guidance is there on file format and dimensions? How would we distribute this file with a custom story?

Nah, it is just an integer/index ID. Check out what was done for the DLiciousOutfit in the Original Story. There is no way to set custom icons.

Re: Alternate inventory icons

Aha, I misinterpreted "alternate" as "custom." I was hoping this was a workaround for those few items that are still missing icons (specifically the red solo cups). Oh well.

Nah, nothing so fancy. Wish I had time to enable CUSTOMIZENING ALL THE THINGS!

Re: Alternate inventory icons

Is there any way to know what these alternate icons look like or which items have them? Either the location of the folder/files being used or just a list of which items have alternates. I've looked around and can't find anything, so I don't know how you could ever figure out that the Dino outfit had a different icon or that you should use ID number 2
