[Solved] One custom UI for all races without import 4 times

[khopesh]

Without having to put a race-restricted player in the game lobby. I have tried to modify the war3mapSkin.txt
But I don't know which one to modify; I've been trying and it doesn't work.

[CustomSkin]
ConsoleTexture01=
ConsoleTexture02=
ConsoleTexture03=
ConsoleTexture04=
ConsoleInventoryCoverTexture=
TimeOfDayIndicator??=this have .mdl file? in war3skins.txt

[Default]
or is here?

[Human]
or is here?

[Orc]
[NightElf]
[Undead]
[Main]

You have to import it 4 times unless they changed something in reforged.
This was a problem 10 years ago with worse internet and a 8mb multiplayer limit.
Not relevant today, just import it 4 times. It adds 1 second to the download if you have ok internet.

edit: actually since you have the UI natives you might be able to modify it with code. I'm way too rusty to say for sure but I feel like it should be possible.

you could use advanced - game interface inside world editor menu, it can set the background textures and many other ui files for all reaces at once.

Thanks for the replies. It works, but it doesn't pick up the time indicator; the custom UI is without the middle part.
UI\Console\NightElf\NightElfUITile-TimeIndicatorFrame.blp
TimeOfDayIndicator=UI\Console\NightElf\NightElfUI-TimeIndicator.mdl
in advanced - game interface is in the model part, and takes only .mdl files, usualy the custom UI`s have .blp
What can I do?

Completely forgot this was a thing.
Nice one

you make sure the model field is pink and then import your custom blp at the path of human one to replace it, or nightelf or whatever your model is using.

thanks, now i can see it, this eliminates the need to import duplicates.
