I'm trying to edit the UI and everything I try just seems to crash the game
1. in the red alert mod, i've edited this tag in chrome.yaml
order-icons: chrome2.png
i've also added a .png image called chrome2.png to the uibits folder. this doesn't seem to work, the game crashes. Am I doing something wrong? is there a correct way to do this? my exception log for this;

2. is there a way to add a new font to the game?
3.in the CnC mod, there are numbered buttons for producing items from multiple productive structures at the same time, i'm not sure what they're called. What do I need to do to add those into the RA mod?
a few questions about modding the UI
1. The width and height of your chrome2.png both need to be powers of 2. Try resizing it to 1024x512.
2. Yes. Have a look at mod.yaml.
3. In C&C production is handled differently. Production traits are defined on the building (ProductionQueue, rules/structures.yaml) instead of the player (ClassicProductionQueue, rules/player.yaml). You'll also have to change the UI yaml to use the C&C widget logic instead. Compare cnc's ingame.yaml and ra's ingame-player.yaml. Probably some other things that I've forgotten about.
