[General] Custom Resources + Structures

[sentrywiz]

Hi peeps.

I have three questions. You can answer all or those that you know

1. I removed my lumber/gold cost from human structures but now they are not being built. I want peasants to be able to powerbuild them as well, so I don't want to use Orc, Undead or Night Elf workers. But like I said, it doesn't work now.

2. I want to replace the gold/lumber/food/upkeep values with no text or black icons. What type of icons I need to import? Infocard, standard?

3. I already know you cannot manipulate tooltips. But say the above question is true, I have all my resources replaced by a black icon. Will that black icon show on tooltips or will the same icons appear?

1. Do you set repair cost to 0 as well? If not then that might do it.
2. Info card.
3. Gameplay Interface, there's somewhere around there to change some tooltips of the UI.

1. Upload your map, it could have something to do with Repair (Human) or the buildings.

2. Gold/Lumber/Food icons have transparent corners, best would be to extract them from the .mpq and black out the middle.

3. Try make the whole thing alpha (transparent). You can use Photoshop or Gimp to paint the whole thing alpha.

Thanks for your replies.

The structures aren't being constructed. They just sit there. I have human repair ability, only modified with 0 cost. I tried building the structures with a default peasant, just to see if it was the modified peasant but no. It just doesn't get built. I tried with adding resources to see if they would construct them if I had gold / lumber but nope.

EDIT: I changed the structures / peasant race to orc. Now it works, only orc style - one peasant per building. So it has to be something with human building style.

I tested this by myself. I set in the Object Editor both Stats - Repair Gold Cost and Stats - Repair Lumber Cost of Farm to 0. Everything else was left untouched. I tried to build it and it was successful. I let more than one peasant build at the same time the same Farm and it didn't cause any loss of resources. So have I misunderstood what you want and did something else or it's just a problem with you?

I see. Idk why it doesn't work for me. I tried all the suggestions here.
I'll keep messing with it. Maybe I'll find out why it bugged out.
