Replacing the Build Icon

[Ardnived]

I'm trying to replace the build icon for a map I'm making but for some reason it keep displaying the standard human build icon.

I've tried the only 2 methods I know:

1. Modifying the Game Interface to use this icon instead
2. Overwriting the standard icon (by using the same path for the import)


Help would be appreciated and repped

It should work fine if you replace:
"ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNHumanBuild.blp"
I think... You replaced that icon and nothing happened? :S

Change the worker's race to Naga and replace the neutral build icon via Game Interface.

 

[SlickR]

make sure the unit is human race, else all races have bit different icons.

Yeah, SlickR is right, if you follow xXMephistoXx's suggestion the player must be human.

It does not work like that. Whatever icon you set in the place of human's building icon, it won't be replaced, unless you change the unit's race. I tried and only Neutral races can have their icon changed. So, change your human worker's race to Naga or Demon (others neutral are not recommended, since the level of their units will be shown in their stat window).

xXMephisto is correct, Deon you are wrong cause I made all of the races use the human build icon.

Thanks Interceptor, I'll try that and get back here about it


EDIT: Worked perfectly thanks and +rep

 

[Deon]

+Rep too, thank you. I was wrong and the right way to do it can become handy one day.

What should you do if you have 3 races that you want to give all different build icons?

Is there really no way to replace the Undead build icon? (except change race)
I really really need that to work!

Yes you can, you need to overwrite the icon, find out it's path and then when you import and icon, use the same path.
