Add custom tech tree/crafting tab

[kik4444]

Basically it's just like what it says - how can I add a custom recipe tab in which I can store custom recipes for normally uncraftable items? I only need to know how to add a custom tab (and it's picture (probably in .tex)) and I already know about adding custom recipes. 

 

Any ideas about adding a custom tab and it's picture through a modmain.lua file? This is what I've gotten to so far and it obviously doesn't work:

 

 

 

STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS

RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS

Recipe = GLOBAL.Recipe

Ingredient = GLOBAL.Ingredient

TECH = GLOBAL.TECH

 

CUSTOM_RECIPETABS =

{

    CUSTOM = { str = "CUSTOM", sort = 11, icon = "rsz_12th_doc.tex" },

}

 

STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.SILK = "A spidery silk for testing"

 

Recipe( "silk", { Ingredient("cutgrass", 1), Ingredient("twigs", 1) }, RECIPETABS.CUSTOM, TECH.NONE )

I can help you more when I'm home and have access to game files, but check out Wickerbottom's lua file, she has her own custom crafting tab for books. I'm sure within that it references whatever other prefab/image files you might need to make as well.
