Greetings my fellow Hiveworkshop-pers. ^^

I've managed to successfully replace the Icon - Gold, Icon - Lumber and Icon - Food within the Custom Game Interface, using the passive variations of my custom resource icons and it’s looking pretty good. However, when it comes to replacing the Image Tooltip Icons the results doesn’t look as pleasing. I was therefore wondering how or what program I can use, in order to make those small yellow-boardered icons for this purpose?

I'm currently using Button Manager to convert my icons.

Your help on the matter, would be much appreciated.
Cheers

  • You should extract the original BLP from the MPQ. You can find the path in Game Interface.
  • Convert it into an usable format.
  • Use your favorite image editing tool (Adobe Photoshop is best but you can even do that with Microsoft Paint) to erase the inside without touching the border.
  • Add your icon inside (resize, adjust, etc.)
  • Save and reconvert into BLP
  • Import it into your map

A simple and yet great idea, thanks for the quick replay Wareditor.
Button Manager dosen't seem to be able to acces the gamefiles, so can you tell me what program I can use in order to extract one? - Or perhaps even export one and upload it for me?
