Another icon problem..

[Jumbo]

hey again, thx for the help with getting TFT icons to work, but now i have a new problem. Can someone plz tell me how to make disabled icons? Cause i made a spellbook which works fine, and then for the disabled icon, changed it to be grey and look disabled, but it doesn't work ingame when used as a "Art - Icon - Turn Off"

Did the base spell have the ability to be turned off ?

What are you using to disable the spell ?

uhm dont know what u mean excacly, but my problem is that the icons dont show when they are used as the disabled icon, dont know how else to say it :S
[EDIT] im not rly using anything to disable it, but for example if i click F10 in game (the menu where u can save etc.) all the other icons turn to the "grey disabled icon" but not the 1 i made..

and yes, the base spell is a spellbook

Thats the problem, you have to use a part where it makes it a disabled icon to the not disabled icon you use..

did you set the custom path right?
it should be
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTN[ButtonNameOfEnabled].tga
if it isn't , it will not work

 

[Jumbo]

i'll have a look, thx for the help, hope it works..

so this is how it looks, it doesn't work ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNjonaDISBTNSpellBookBLS2.tga
dont mind the space, it isnt there in the path..

Say
The original icon finished with SpellBookBLS2.tga
You would name the disabled one ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNSpellBookBLS2.tga

Ok i changed it, now it looks like this. The enabled: war3campImported\BTNSpellBookJBLS.tga (that one works), and the disabled: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNSpellBookJBLS.tga (now it at least know that there is an icon, so it isnt showed as green, now its just black)

If it's black, check that the file size hasn't dropped to 0.
This happens sometimes when you rename things (its happened to me)

it hasn't :S, strange this.. i can look at the icon in WC3 viewer..
