Green Icon [No DISBNT]

[kingkwong92]

I downloaded some icons for my map but there isnt a DISBNT icon so theres a green box. Is there a way of making a DISBNT of the icon so I don't have to try and track down the icons?

 

[rysnt11]

No disbtn?
Where you dl it?
The package from thw should have disbtn
Anyway, there's a tool in tools section called button manager, wait i'll search for it
This button manager

 

[kingkwong92]

Thanks for that. This looks like a really useful program.

 

[rysnt11]

That's needed for 'making' icon

 

[kingkwong92]

Wow I just realised that I can make icons on it. This is amazing.
But the original problem still doesn't fix itself.
I have a custom icon assigned to a spell in a spell book.
This spells techtree requirement is another unit.
When it doesn't fulfill the requirements it shows up as a green box.
I used that program and made PAS and DISPAS but this still doesn't fix it.

use: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButoms\BNTYour_icon for normal.
use: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButomsDisabled\DISBNTYour_icon for disabled.

Those are ofcourse paths for both of icons.

 

[kingkwong92]

The normal icon already works but the disabled one doesn't work.
I tried the ReplaceableTextures\CommandButoms\ but the disabled icon still doesn't show up.
The normal icon still works tho.

 

[rysnt11]

Replaceabletextures\commandbuttonsdisabled\DISBTNyouriconhere.blp

Replace the 'youriconhere' with the name of your icon

 

[Bannar]

Then thats you who did mistake now. I showed you how you import icons properly, read more carrefully and do it again.
Once again for disbtn its' ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNyour_icon.blp

Both icons should have .blp/tga at the end, and both should have the same icon name, similar path (except for tail, one ends with BTNicon.blp the other Disable\DISBTNicon.blp).

I don't use the program rysnt11 have posted, I use Photoshop with several layers for the whole icon types

- Be sure that the icon has just 24 bit quality
- The size must be 64x64 pixel
- The file must be correctly converted to a .blp file
- When imported the icon need to have the same Name like the BTN with a "DIS" at the front
- When imported give the imported icon a custom path called: "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNYour_icon"
- Save the map (maybe restart the WE after save)

If it still won't work send me the button, I'll try to fix it.

Tzi.. wtf?
He is asking about importing now, now the icon borders/icon making itself. If you think that green buttom appeared because of his program, you need help here too.

 

[Tzi]

He wrote that the DISBTN doesn't work... right? (If I'm too silly to read english tell it to me)

Cause I am not using the posted program (normally something like this can cause that I don't know which points of converting / making a button the program is doing) I told all the points that can cause such a problem. A fail?

Yea you fail, its already clear that he just used the wrong path.
And now you come along with maybe confusing, useless information.

 

[Bannar]

I see you have never touched that problem before. Let me explain that to you.
Green buttom appears in war3 game (via importing) because of wrong path given imported icon has.
It has nothing about program icon was made in.

Although normal icon (BTN/PASBTN) will work no matter of path, the disabled (DISBTN/DISPASBTN) requires a precise path so they work properly.
Replaceabletextures\Commandbuttomsdisabled\(hereDISBTN/DISPASBTN)your_icon.blp is a path for both icon types.

For normal BTN i already wrote above, but for passivesBTN its:
Replaceabletextures\passivebuttoms\PASBTNyour_icon.blp

 

[Tzi]

I see you have never touched that problem before.

Nothing new for me. It seems that I haven't wrote the path wrong a long time, cause I'm importing the whole time new ones.

With the confusing informations you are right >.<
I'm sorry, I'll never try to help anymore. So everyone's happy!

 

[Bannar]

Those post weren't mean to hurt you. You just miissunderstood what our guy needed us for.
We protected him from confusion because of new case you've written. =)

For normal BTN i already wrote above, but for passivesBTN its:
Replaceabletextures\passivebuttoms\PASBTNyour_icon.blp

You written bad path for 3 or more times... not buttoms it is buttons... -.-

The only thing you need is:
Disabled: "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISorDISPASBTNAndYourButtonName.blp"

The disabled button path for both PASBTNs and BTNs are this. Only the disabled buttons path has to be edited others inned coz you select the button in the Object Editor so the active is given. For creating buttons just use that rysnt11 told you to use.

The next guy that has problem with reading.
You are right, was mistaken in those lines, spamming 'm' not 'n' - happens.
However, i wrote right path for all of the icons, although you are also true about the normal icons because you always select them via ediotr.

You just reapeated part about DISBTN/ DISPASBTN from my post, nothing to add, I know how to create icons, and you dont have to teach me this either. End of story.

Was just a joke
A lil bit german humor. We are a little bit too sarcastic xD

 

[kingkwong92]

Sorry for causing so much trouble. My own silly mistakes.
@ Spinnaker: I almost swear you could read my mind, you knew exactly where I went wrong. Everything cleared up and all fixed. I leared a lot. Thanks guys!
