Making a UI

By Crazed_seal

Things you will need.
1. MS Paint or Equivalent
2. Photoshop
3 War3 Viewer.
==========================

Open MS Paint or Equivalent and go Image > Attributes. Change the size to Width: 1603 Pixles and Height: 512 Pixles.
Now after that you should have a huge white image. Open War3 Viewer and extract all the HumanUITiles, make sure you extract them as .bmp!

HumanUITiles

The UI's you need to have extracted.

In MS Paint, Edit > Paste From, Paste the UI's into the white, keep them 1 pixle away so you dont forget what UI you have.
Now open photoshop and edit away your UI's don't forget they have Alpha Channels. The White is editable but remember you can add more white just remember though only change the black that is game view screen.

Game View Screen

White = Black.

After you've edited all the UI's Paste them over the old ones in MS Paint and see if they join together well. If So save them and convert them into .blp format and change the path to: UI\Console\Human\HumanUI(Number)Tile.blp .
Save your map and done.
Heres my crappy example:

My crappy Example

White = Black in alpha.
