Green Box in icon

[Klann]

for example. my unit is on standby then a green box will appear in stop ability. what do you call this green box and is there any open source list of model on any site?

 

[rulerofiron99]

This green box is when the game is trying to find a DISBTN (disabled button) icon for an icon. It happens when you import a custom icon without importing its DISBTN version.

The path of this icon will always be:
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNIconName.blp

 

[Klann]

no. what i meant for the green box is just like a border

Ahh, I think I know what you mean. So when your unit is standing still there is a glowing green outline around the "Stop" button on the command card. If you were to right click on the ground nearby such that you order the unit to move a short distance the green glowing outline will now be around the "Move" button on the command card. Once the unit reaches it's destination it will stop walking and the green glow will now be around the "Stop" button again.


I know that you can change all of the command buttons but I'm not sure if you can change the glow...

I just had a look in "Game Interface" in the "Advanced" menu and I notice that there is an entry called "Icon - Command - Active Highlight" if u double click on this you might see the green box you are talking about. I am sure people have customised this before but I am unfamiliar with it so we will just have to see if anyone else can help out.

Found it:
UI\Widgets\Console\Human\CommandButton\human-activebutton.blp

(change human to orc/unddead/nightelf)

 

[Klann]

since you added (change human to orc/unddead/nightelf)

how can i use only 1 model, "without using more space" to add the same model for orc,human,undead and nightelf

 

[rulerofiron99]

I don't know, you can experiment a bit.

Did you find this field in the game interface? If it's there, you can set all of these to the same texture.

EDIT: There is only the one in the human folder. It will work for all races.

 

[Klann]

what path?

 

[rulerofiron99]

what path?

As above:

UI\Widgets\Console\Human\CommandButton\human-activebutton.blp

 

[Klann]

oh i see. i thought that using that path will only work with human race

 

[rulerofiron99]

At first I also thought so, but then I looked in the other races' folders.

 

[Klann]

then how about this one.

path: UI\Console\Human\HumanUITile01

i tried playing with night elf race then the UI didnt work.
nvm. i'll just import 2 UIs, one for nightelf and one for undead.
