well i noticed changing some things works and others doesn't. like for example if you try to change the color of all of the menu items for when you hit f10 you can't change all of that. some of it stays the same. interestingly enough you can change the colors of some of the non-map menu items. i think it's silly that you can change some of those and not all of the in-game stuff. if i remember right my battle.net is pink and so is load game in single player, for example. if you ever played Vampirism you'll see that they edited some of those out of game fields also. i wish all the in game fields were editable and you could easily avoid editing out of game fields...i want to change the fields but i don't know which are in game and which are out of game.

woo...i hope that wasn't too far off-topic. anyway not sure if your problem has to do with units or buildings/heros or not but if it does you need to see the object editor.

Could you spesify if it's nothing or just some things that doesn't work?

Nothing i changed in the "Game Interface" appears in-game. I changed the icon for "chaos attack" to a zombie, fortified armor to a treant, unarmored to a dalaran mutant. I also changed the text for all of that + i changed the text for food to "Gold in:" and the icon for food to a chest of gold.

I still have no idea why this doesnt work.

The info you provided is not enough to help you.
If you can't describe your problem through words, try to post your map so others will see the problem.

I have uploaded my map at this site. Everything works fine (i think) except for this thing. Infected Defence link is in my singature.

I don't know whats so hard to understand...

When i edit things in the "Game Interface" in the WE, they dont appear as i changed it in-game. I can't explain better.

I am dowloading your map and going to check for errors. Stay alert citizen.

EDIT:

In your map from the signature you have nothing changed in the game interface. Are you sure you saved your changes?
I mean, all the fields are default.

Also you have a button imported to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNStop[1].blp ; if you want it to replace stop you should get rid of "[1]".

Also your players are defined as "night elves" while the buttons you replace via interface are for humans.

I find that when you edit the stuff in there, it helps to restart the world editor (jst exit, but remember to save, then go back in), then test the map... if it still doesn't want to work then just redo the work (because it will have reverted back to it's original resources) and the save, then make sure that you have not clicked on the tick box called "show as raw data", then restart the world editor again.

But if that still doesn't help, then I dunno...

Happy mapping =]
