Hey guys, this is something most of you doesnt know about i think :O

I played some maps on battle.net and noticed that some of the got LOTS of imported icons, maybe 100 or so.

I thought, this must be over 2MB and then i saw the filesize itself was 4MB (With models and all), and it made no sense.

I single playered it, and looked on the inventory of other units, one of the had a "Hammer of Light" item and the icon for it was Divine Shield.

When i bought the item myself, there was a imported icon of a Holy Hammer, and when i paused there should be a Green Icon but there is a WC3 icon.

The DISBTN they use are all WC3 icons, that way they save 50% of all Icons they import.
They replace the green box that should appear somehow...

I want to know how to do this on Items.. its really important because my map is 7MB and i want it down a little so i can add some skins and models to it.

Hope you understand and can help. Thank you.
