Little problems for map

[Phoenix]

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this kind of forum. Usually, I prefer to explore and learn on my own, trial and error if necessary.

But I admit I'm a little lost. I'm trying to import all the data from a specific map onto another map (triggers, units, models, and textures).

I'm partially successful, but some problems are too complex for me to solve.
Let me explain. I can import the triggers on that side, and I don't think I'm having any problems. The same goes for the units; they seem fine to me.
The problem lies in the "details."
In-game, when I haven't met the prerequisites for an upgrade or a spell, the icon is a green square. From what I understand, you have to modify the directory path, but there are several hundred of them, one by one, it seems endless. Is there any way to go faster?
And also, my heroes no longer cost food to buy?

Sorry for the long post and my poor english, I didn't know how to make it shorter and I hope I'm posting in the right place.

Yes icon paths need to be specific for the game to handle properly

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNSomethingSomething.blp for the standard icons
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNSomethingSomething.blp for the darkened version that show up during game pause
ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\PASBTNSomethingSomething.blp for borderless passives
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISPASBTNSomethingSomething.blp same as above but for passives

No way to speed that up in the editor itself, but nowadays you can export the map as a folder and change stuff there, perhaps there's a way to rename them in bulk in the file explorer

Yeah i had the same issue once i got started messing around with the editor.. Not really sure why you have to edit the details in the import editor for things too work correctly. It would be nice just to import it from the download and thats all you had to do...

Till this day confuses me.

And as for the heroes, maybe you edited the heros food cost in the object editor?

Thanks for these answers, ok I will be patient.

Indeed, these values had been set to 0 for a single race. I don't know how because I didn't touch them at all.

Did you convert files/units from a map to your current map? If so, sometimes copying and pasting units or whatever it is will glitch ur map and sometimes things can get edited by mistake somehow.

And, yea im pretty sure youd have to change the path for each of the ones you want to use in ur map..

I havent been on world editor in a while so it may have changed.

Yup all icons no exception, unless you can live with flashy green disabled icons
