By using these faction icons, we were able to cover a large amount of companions significantly easier. It just says where they're from or who they are.
It doesn't automatically mean they will or won't shoot at any given person. It lets you know with whom you are traveling, based on their ideological stances or personal backgrounds. Instead, they show you the companion's faction allegiance! We find this much preferable and more lore-friendly. No longer do they show you a companion's face. To ameliorate these issues, we decided to change the purpose of the icons. If you use graphic mods, it isn't infrequent that a companion's face icon does not visually match their actual face. We also never cared for how the faces were implemented. You'd instead have a default, blank face. Previously, if you had any companion mods that weren't previously covered by JIP CCC, the icons of their faces wouldn't appear. This mod is an expansion for JIP Companions Command and Control that allows it to be compatible with many, many more companion mods by changing the way the icons are done.
