1. Make an undo function.
2. Make a Chance Active icon function, because if someone wants to make the icon passive, he won't be able to make it active again. Moreover, this will allow to make simple images into warcraft icons. ;)
3. It took me a while to figure that I could move the cursor with A, S,D and W.
4. Hue Saturation can take quite some while if you want on the full screen. You should make a 0x0 cursor or something to include all the icon.

Pretty nice tool. If you add these stuff and maybe improve the selection (it is extremely hard but better than nothing) it will be pretty useful.

1. thx to daelin for adding some useful ideas, i will add this functions in the next version
2. to ramza, in this version you can open bmp tga files, so you have to convert a blp file first, but i work on a blp support, that means blp1 and blp2
3.to bukibuki, you need java on your system, then type for example c:\java -jar filename, but i will add a exe file for win users

thx to all for testing the beta, the next version comes in few weeks

I know I have to convert, but before I can convert excisting icons, I need to extract or export em from wc3 right? so where can I find excisting icons? (The only program where I found all WC3 Icons was 'WC3 Model Editor', but that program does only export/save mdl or mdx files...)

ok ok, you need a tool called winmpq, you can found them in this section. then you can open the *.mpq files in your wc3 directory and search in the *mpq file for *blp. the buttons are listed under BTN...blp.

i can tell you the name of the main *mpq file because i have linux on my computer and no wc3 installed, so you have to search .

Great program!!!You're a master in JAVA,man...
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: 5/5
PS: If you could, please send me the source code; maybe it would have been a good idea to make it in C++ than in JAVA cause some people don't have Java updated or Java at all
:wink:

This tool rather suck. I give 1,5/10. While you fix all bugs i'll give 9/10 cause i realy like thy idea and it could be realy usefull.
-look nice (10/10)
-work slowly
-pasive icons mode just make simple black frame aroun your icon (while original pasive icons frame slowly turn from picture to black)
-no undo/redo function
-i had to reset it few times and i woked only about a minute (i got win xp and java 5.0 updete 6)

By the way, have u noticed that ikon maker should have impresive icon? ;P
