Main module for rendering game icons ~~(heroes, abilities, and items)~~.

Main module for rendering game icons.

'''Note: This module is not intended for direct use.''' Use the templates below.

== Data ~~Sources~~ ==

== Data sources ==

The module ~~automatically~~ reads from:

The module reads from [[Data:ResourceLookup.json]], a pre-indexed lookup table generated by [[User:Deadbot|Deadbot]] at deploy time. When the bot uploads new game files, hero, ability, and item icons update automatically.

* [[Data:~~HeroData~~.json]] - ~~Hero information~~

* [[~~Data~~:~~AbilityData.json~~]] ~~- Ability information~~

* [[Data:ItemData.~~json]] - Item information~~

~~When the bot uploads new game files~~, ~~icons update automatically~~.

An additional resource for other icons can be found at [[Data:ResourceLookup2.json]], a manually maintained table; some entries may rely on a dictionary key.

See [[Module:Icon/data]] for manual overrides, legacy items, aliases, and renames used by this module.

== Usage ==

Any of ~~these~~ templates ~~work for any icon type (hero, ability, or item)~~. The module ~~auto-~~detects the type:

Any of the following templates can be used. The module automatically detects the icon type:

* {{tl|HeroIcon}}

* {{tl|HeroIcon}} ~~- Can display heroes, abilities, or items~~

* {{tl|AbilityIcon}}

* {{tl|AbilityIcon}} ~~- Can display heroes, abilities, or items~~

* {{tl|ItemIcon}}

* {{tl|ItemIcon}} ~~- Can display heroes, abilities, or items~~

* {{tl|EntityIcon}}

~~'''Note:''' While all three templates work identically, you can use whichever name makes the wiki source code more readable (e.g., use <nowiki>~~{{~~AbilityIcon~~|~~Siphon Life~~}}~~</nowiki> for clarity even though <nowiki>{{HeroIcon|Siphon Life}}</nowiki> works the same).~~

~~== Error Tracking ==~~

~~Icons that fail to render are tracked in: [[:Category:Module:Icon ERROR]]~~

~~== Aliases ==~~

'''Note:''' While all four templates work identically, it is recommended to use the appropriate one for clarity (e.g., use <nowiki>{{AbilityIcon|Siphon Life}}</nowiki> even though <nowiki>{{HeroIcon|Siphon Life}}</nowiki> will also work).

~~Some icons have alternate names that redirect~~ to the ~~correct entry:~~

* "Doorman" → "The Doorman"

* "Mo and Krill" / ~~"Mo"~~ / ~~"Krill" → "Mo & Krill"~~

* "Curse" → "Cursed Relic"

* "Debuff Remover" → "Dispel Magic"

~~To add new aliases, edit the aliases table in~~ [[Module:Icon]].

== Error tracking ==

Icons that fail to render are added to [[:Category:Module:Icon ERROR]].
