Okay, I can't seem to be able to upload a reforged Icon, as the maximum size is 64x64 instead of 256x256, and I can't upload it as a texture either as it doesn't replace any. It's my first post in the new Hive, any ideas?

I just tried re-uploading icons to my black armor footman to see if I could replicate the problem you had and it worked fine. Where were you running into issues?

Model looks great as always, btw

We're talking directly to the model pack?
Add resource > Icon (then manually BTN and DISBTN because who needs the rest for a unit), this works for me. It is .dds that you use ofc?

I was uploading a 256x256 .blp icon, but the max size allowed is of 64x64. .dds icons can't be imported and used in WE as far as I know

I've only ever used .dds for icons in WE Reforged. I thought that was the way everyone did it in Reforged?

Oh no no no .dds is the go to format for icons with mipmaps, this is important when saving, don't ask why.
It's just that Reforged hasn't updated the formats in Object Editor, so you have to copy the path instead of selecting the icon.
Btw, what is the filesize of that 256x256 blp of yours?

Mr Ogre man · Jun 30, 2021

114kb, .dds is 43 kb when saved as DXT1 and 86 as DXT5. I didn't know that copying the path worked in WE, I've been always saving them as .blp 'til now. I'll upload the .dds.

Looks good! Stay frosty

This is what I mean with path, DXT1 is go to, remember those mipmaps, if you don't have them people with lower settings won't see the icon, and it will look weird when dragged (like item dragging).

Yeah, my icons were usually very blurry in lower settings and when minimised, now I know why. I'll have to reupload them.

GJ that is what I was looking for.

Approved. Very nice addition of a new Lich hero.
If you plan to make more Liches, I'd love to see Lady Deathwisper form ICC raid... although an animated dress instead of those ribbons would certainly prove to be a challenge.

No visibility or other issues found whatsoever. Good geoset choices to give a different look without using textures (therefore a very small file-size for an HD model). Where you needed to change the color of something you used UV tricks. You also have a cleverly made custom spinning blades animation for Stand Channel 1.

A female lich would be great, I'll give it a shot! (I was planning on doing lord marrowgar as well)
