they dont show in game ?
strange...
what did you use to convert to blp ?

 

[Vicboy]

Well, I made it a 32 Bit TGA, then converted it with W3C Image Viewer II thingy to BLP 100% quality...


Its just... Not there or something, anyway, I got TGA version to work... While converting the BTN versions to BLP doesn't...

Try converting with war3 model editor
Open your TGA with it
Windows-> Textures
right click to texture
click export
enter whateveryouwant.blp to save

Hey, you need do this:

1. Create your icon (must be 64x64 pix) (e.x. with paint) (if you want create exellent icon, you need create all four icons: DisabledButton, PassiveButton, DisabledPassiveButton, Button, more information in: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/icons.php
2. Save it with name: BTN(yourIconName).bmp
3. Open your converter
4. Convert the icon to .TGA and with 24 bit
5. Import the BTNicon.tga to World Editors Import Manager
6. Use custom patch: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNyourIconName.tga
7. Save your map
8. If your icon is an Ability, do next:
- Create a ability
- Set the ability's Art - Icon Interface to : ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNyourIconName.tga
- Save your map
If your Icon is an unit, do next:
- Create your unit
- Set the unit's Art - Icon Interface to : ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNyourIconName.tga

I don't use BLP, sadly. Any tips on what it's suppose to be if it's blp?

 

[Vicboy]

Try converting with war3 model editor
Open your TGA with it
Windows-> Textures
right click to texture
click export
enter whateveryouwant.blp to save

And Need_O2 wins!

The others lose

Also, i do not experience any trouble at all with the wc3 model viewer. Try setting the quality to 80 or 85. that's what i use.
