I'm not quite sure how to extract an image file from Warcraft 3 MPQs. Could somebody help me get the hero level up icon?

Get any mpq viewer/extractor, e.g.:


Open the desired mpq in your Warcraft III main directory (war3.mpq, War3x.mpq, War3Patch.mpq or War3xlocal.mpq). The patch and maybe local file are encrypted I believe, not every program will be able to open them. But the hero skill button is in the classic war3.mpq.

Buttons are under

  • ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\
  • ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\
  • ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\
