Hidden, Secret Icon

[Zeatherann]

I might have discovered a new icon Blizzard drew. Both show some sort of skull icon in place of the expected icon found at the path "ReplaceableTextures/CommandButtons/BTNcancel.blp"

Anyone seen this before?

It's not a secret icon it's probably just an image you have in your War3 directory, or some other image overriding the default one that should be there.

Quite amusing, I believe this haven't get discovered yet, will check it later.

I can almost guarantee you won't find it since this is a known old bug.

Plus, don't you think someone would have found it by now?

 

[Zeatherann]

It's an old bug? Where is further documentation on it? Also. If I had a file in my game directory that overwrote it then it would display the custom icon in game. Since the icon is normal in game this is not the case.

I have never seen that icon. Can you tell us the path its using? Its not clear from your image..

Plus, don't you think someone would have found it by now?

Many things in wc3 are still unknown, though I thought that there were no more images or models to find..

ReplaceableTextures\\CommandButtons\\BTNcancel.blp

Well then its something just on your warcraft. I got the normal cancel icon there..

It's interesting, especially since it only does that in the editor.

Yeah, the editor is a bit strange in the way it loads textures. It loads them up once and it won't reload them unless something replaces them. For example, if you use a skin on a footman in one map, and then you open a different map that doesn't have the skin, all the footman will appear to use that skin anyway. It will show up as normal in-game, but in the editor they'll all appear to use the custom skin. This is because WE doesn't reload default textures when you are switching between maps. It only reloads them when prompted to (e.g. when you have an imported texture).

 

[Zeatherann]

Yes, that's why you have to restart the editor to see the change of an overridden texture. However, it still does this even between computer restarts.
