Is it Possible to Take Icons of Player Color Like those ones from unit palette?

i need 12 icons from warcraft,icons of player color

When you have unit palatte and you want to make a unit for player 1 (Red) - red icon is right
if you want to make a unit for player 2 (Blue) - blue icon is right

is it possible to take that icons from warcraft so that it does not waste memory ?

if not,how much would that icons take ? 12 iconds is about is about 0.15 MB i think...

I think this has to do with the .mpq file.
sorry i dont understand ... :confused:


can anyone make that 12 icons for me?:cute:
or maybe just just give the path for icons (from warcraft)

i really need those icons....its just a player color,it should´t be hard to do...xD
(+REPS if help)
btw it would be good if icon would take about 1-5kb
put i think it takes 12 :( and 12 x 12 is 144 witch is .....a bit to much for that kind of icons

If you go to your warcraft 3 folder, within it you will find a file called war3.mpq. This is the file where all the games models, skins and icons are stored.

There are several ways to access it, but my favourite is to open the .mpq with the War3 Viewer Tool as shown below:

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/warcraft-iii-viewer-62878/

Run the program and click on "Open MPQ", then locate your warcraft 3 folder and click on the file called war3.mpq.

This will bring up another window with all the built-in warcraft files. Simply find the icons your looking for in this new window and remember the path to them. For example, "Textures\yourfile.blp".

Then, when setting an icon in the WE, just type in the file path and they should appear :)

Hope this helps :p
