Pre-Existing Icon without DISPASBTN.

[VergilThazaar]

I've edited this value in Game Interface [Icon - Idle Worker: Multiple Units], but the specific Icon I want doesn't have DISPASBTN (I think that's the one). So, is there any way to fix it or do I have to pick another icon?

My first thouht was to export the icon, modify it by adding the DISPASBTN layer and then import it. I didn't do it because I am not familiar with this procedure and I'm 100% sure I'd screw up, plus I'm not sure if it'll work.

...and a screenie...

- Thank you in advance!

The export/import way you posted is actually the solution. If you don't want to screw up then don't edit the icon. Just export it, rename and then import again with the DISPASBTN path.

 

[VergilThazaar]

Right, I'll do that if you can tell me how to export it.

 

[DragoonZombie]

Using WinMPQ/WC3 Viewer or any other program that can extract data from MPQ.
Open up war3.mpq and then locate to the path where the icon is. Then extract it. Rename and import again into the map.

- Could you specify what to rename it into?

Here's what I know I did...

1. Using Wc3 Viewer extracted the icon -"Multiple Units" following this route "Replaceable Textures/WorldEditUI/Editor-MultipleUnits.blp"- in .bmp format.

2. Added the Disabled Layer to the icon and saved as .bmp .

{EDIT}
2.5 I thought that saving as .bmp was wrong, so I saved as .tga but still didn't work.

3. Renamed it by Adding the prefix DISPAS to the already existing name.

4. Converted it into .BLP using Wc3 Viewer.

5. Imported it in my map via Import Manager.

6. Set custom path into this "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISPASEditor-MultipleUnits.blp".


- What have I done wrong?

 

[DragoonZombie]

It could be that, because the icon is inside the
ReplaceableTextures\WorldEditUI\Editor-MultipleUnits.blp
that it doesnt search for the DISPAS icon in the CommandButtonsDisabled folder.

Try importing the original icon but with the commandbuttons path.

 

[VergilThazaar]

Still not working ...

 

[DragoonZombie]

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNMultipleUnits.blp
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNMultipleUnits.blp
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISPASBTNMultipleUnits.blp

does not work?

 

[VergilThazaar]

Retrying...

{EDIT}
No, even after retry doesn't work. Of course it could be me doing something wrong, but I don't think so.

 

[VergilThazaar]

Bump! [Unsolved]

 

[Slaydon]

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsPassiveDisabled\DISPASBTNMultipleUnits.blp

maybe?

 

[VergilThazaar]

In every import it's either "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled" or "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons", haven't ever seen a "PassiveDisabled". Do you think it's different?

Thanks.

OK, try those.

• Paths:

BTN_Test.blp:
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTN_Test.blp
DISBTN_Test.blp:
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTN_Test.blp

It works perfectly for me. (I've tested, yes. Alpha channel works too)

 

[VergilThazaar]

That works sadvisor! Thanks!
