Ok i've been trying to get the portrait into the hero icon for quite some time now, and I still haven't figured it out. I'll explain

Ingame, top left hand corner of the map is the hero icons...Now, how in the living hell do I get the portrait(example lower) to show the custom model file and not the crappy arthas or any ordinary wc3 symbol?

Like, i'm using this full model from another site:
1)HeroTadakastsuHonda.blp -> Textures\HeroTadakatsuHonda.blp
2)HeroTadakastsuHonda.mdx -> war3mapImported\HeroTadakastsuHonda.mdx
3)HeroTadakastsuHonda_Portrait.mdx ->
war3mapImported\HeroTadakastsuHonda.mdx
4)Katana.blp -> Textures\Katana.blp

And from your site:
1)DwarvenPaladin2.mdx -> war3mapImported\DwarvenPaladin2.mdx
2)DwarvenPaladin2_Portrait.mdx ->
war3mapImp.\DwarvenPaladin2_Portrait.mdx


What I want is:
The hero icon in the top left-hand corner to be that of the models.

What I do not have is(in object editor):
Art - Model Fire - Portrait <--this is where it goes? Or is it something else?

I know it can be done because one of the maps I play has some type of nazgul looking hero icon in the top left-hand corner of the map.

How in the living hell does this work?


EDIT: Is there some special program or something I need to be able to see this path in object editor:
Art - Model File - Portrait
????

I think that path is for doodads and/or destructible...

if its the icon thats the problem then its found above the model areas

select your created unit in the object editor, cursor down till you see the icons\icons special, set your icon there.

if its the portrait, simply import it, remove war3 and reopen the map and there u have it!

hope it helped

Kinda helped, but the icon doesn't change...

What I mean is, just looked at it again...

There is a pathway, it is:
Art - Icon - Game Interface

Is there even custom icons here?

{EDIT}
Wow i'm retarded, just found the icons clickable link -.-

Thanks for taking your own time to reply Vincent, +rep
