Post a link to the icon. Make sure the import paths are correct. Make sure the object editor data is set correctly, both Art - icon - normal and Art - icon - research.

You need 2 version of the same icon - one is active and one "disabled" (= what you see when you pause the game).
Icons have to be .blp and they have to have prefix:
- "BTN" for the active version; for example BTNspell.blp
- "DISBNT" for the disabled version; for example DISBNTspell.blp

Check if you have correct path set. For active icons use this path:
"ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\<icon name>" so for example like this:
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNspell.blp

For disabled versions you use this:
"ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\<icon name>" so here it would be:
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNspell.blp

There are also so called passive icons - an example of passive icon is Reincarnation once your hero learned that spell. That icon (blackened icon borders) is passive icon.

Passive icons can be improted as
- active icons => meaning they have the prefix BTN and the import path is same as for active icons
- passive icons => they have prefix "PASBTN" (e.g. PASBTNspell.blp) and their path is
"ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\" so ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\PASBTNspell.blp

----------------------
Also make sure your spells has correctly set in Object editor
- Art - Icon - Normal => this is what icon the spell uses when learned
- Art - Icon - Research => this is what icon the spell uses when it is in the skill menu of your hero

The icon i have problems with is passive

 

[Shade Da Scout]

The icon i have problems with is passive

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\PASRockFist2.blp
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISPASRockFist2.blp
Just an example of "how to set passive icon path"

 

[BloodDrunk]

and it's custom* not costum jhhahahaha
Made me laugh hard XD

ANyway, they above are correct Listen to them

 

[Binsu]

Shade's answer is correct. If it does not work well, the icon is the problem. To give you all paths for icons:

• ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNRockFist2.blp
• ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNRockFist2.blp
• ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\PASRockFist2.blp
• ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISPASRockFist2.blp
  

If it has some extra formats such as ATT, ATC, DISATC or UPG:

• ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\ATCRockFist2.blp
• ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISATCRockFist2.blp
• ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\ATTRockFist2.blp
• ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\UPGRockFist2.blp

 

[Nichilus]

actually it seems both are correct - mine and his. I use imported passive icons through ...\PassiveButtons\...blp and have no problem; his also works.
I'm not sure if there is tutorial about it here on hive, but you could look here: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/icons.php

 

[Binsu]

Lol, didnt saw your answer and yours was way more detailed =)

 

[-SmaSHeR-]

so i need to put disabled one in research?

 

[Binsu]

Disabled will automatically take effect when you imported it at the right path so no need.

 

[Daffa]

A disabled icon will appear correctly in-game if imported with correct paths, I have test this with my own stupid made icon.

 

[Binsu]

Well, you've just repeated what I say bro but no worries. =D

 

[-SmaSHeR-]

actaully on passive icons you need ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\
but how on disabled passive

Lets take Rock Fist from spasorc as an example:

• ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\PASRockFist.blp
  
• ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\DISPASRockFist.blp

You just put up a DIS before the PAS which means Disabled Passive.

I looked in we paths and you are wrong ^^

its
ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\PASRockFist.blp
ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtonsDisabled\PASRockFist.blp

Anyway count this as Solved

 

[Binsu]

Oh yeah add Disabled for every DIS. God your the one who corrected me ^_^
