disabled icons wont work

[drumminforev]

sometimes when i import an icon it works, and sometimes it doesnt, even though i make the path the same (deleting the war2imported, and even it works with it sometimes)

how can i make it work ALWYAS

and how do i get a button to show the disabled button instead of a green blank image when it is disabled

i have 2 buttons, and the regular one shows, but as soon as the shop is disabled, the button goes bright green, how can i link disabled to the disabled button?

The green blank is because the disabled dont work, to make it work you need correct path.

this is correct path for normal icon -
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNname.blp

and this is for diabeld -
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNname.blp

*name = the name of the icon you imported*

The name if the icon after BTN/DISBTN should be the same, example BTNCool and DISBTNCool, else it won't work correctly.

i have my button exactly as you typed it, and it comes up blank. replace command all that, just like you typed it. but it still comes up blank.????

Then it could be the icon's fault.
What icon is it anyway?

heres a link, could you check them out real quick. they have to work because i got them to work one time without the disbtn, and my regular one worked fine, but i need a disbtn since the green blob shows up a lot

Then it must be the icon's fault. If the .blp was not 32bits .tga, .bmp or .jepg then the .blp will not show up correctly.

the icon worked when i didnt try to add a disabled, but it doesnt work when i do try

 

[Sopho]

Thats very odd. Hardly anyone gets that problem. Are you sure the path is right?

 

[drumminforev]

i am out of ideas

the path is
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNminehere.blp
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNminehere.blp

Send me the icons [email protected]
I'll fix the problem

I've had the exact same problem. Whenever you overwrite an existing icon (i.e. has the same file path as an icon already in the game) it will work flawless. But when I use Icons with completely unique names, even though the file paths are correct, the disabled versions simply don't show up....

[Sopho]

In my tactic, I just add a: ! to the end of the icon so it doesn't overwrite the icon that uses that name

 

[DarkShadow]

Hm, never had that problem. For now I have several items with unique names in my cpn, and they all are working.

 

[Sopho]

Are the icons sent because I got one but with no icons attached
