Reforged DIS Icons not working!

[catlover47]

I have tried everything... Keeping "war3imported", deleting "war3imported", renaming the file paths, converting to a .tga... No disabled icon images I import ever appear in-game, just the green squares! They show up fine in the editor though. Did Blizzard change how Disabled icons work?

Reforged brought a lot of bugs, but are you sure you're using this path:

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNBloodMage2.blp

Unless Reforged changed it:
Your Icons have to be .blps
When editing icons you save/export as .tga then use a tool to convert them to .blp

Note that Reforged may have changed this whole process.

Unfortunately ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\ does not work. I am shocked I havent seen any other threads about this.

DDS should be supported. For non transparent icons use DXT1. For Transparent icons (these exist?!) use DXT5.

Warcraft III will automatically parse DDS files at the same file path as a referenced BLP file.

As an example...

replaceabletextures\commandbuttonsdisabled\disbtnabsorbmagic.dds
replaceabletextures\commandbuttons\btnabsorbmagic.dds

File path is all lower case. File name is also different for the disabled icon.

Wow, well that works. Why would dds files work but not blp or tga? That's quite a few hoops to jump through every icon.

Possibly a bug. Or maybe the BLP files are corrupt. In any case DDS is recommended as the resulting texture compresses better than TGA both in the map and in video memory.

TGA was never officially used for icons from what I can recall so it not functioning might be a bug as well.

Since updating to reforged I can no longer edit the file path of icons in the import manager. I want to change replace the "war3mapImported" section on the highlighted file but I can't edit it. I click modify file properties and nothing happens. Nothing happens when i just click it as well. How do you edit this?

Double click the file's name on the far left.
