Remove all hero glows?

[domacleod]

I've searched the forum a bit, only found ways to remove the glow from specific models by removing the texture path from the model then importing the new model. Thing is, I need all the heroes' glows removed, and that would significantly increase the map size. For any concerns of "the hero glow helps identify heroes", I plan to use no hero glow versions of most of the heroes as units, then use the attachment hero glow to create hero versions of them.

Has anyone figured a way to remove all the hero glows by replacing the texture with something yet? Or pretty much any way that doesn't require individually editing and importing new models?

i think of import way, try to find the path of the glow texture then replace with full alpha texture with very small size (maybe 2 x 2 will work). then import it multiple times to replace all the glow texture. probably, it will work.

"full alpha" as in a blank opaque texture, or a blank transparent one? and if the first, which is considered blank in warcraft, black or white?

i'm not entirely sure, i suppose the alpha color show depends on the program. here I attach an alpha texture in 2 x 2 size so you can test it.
