I know this is a newb question... And for all I know, its probably on the wrong forum... (and I apologize if it is) But can anyone explain to me, in very simple terms, assuming I know absolutely nothing, how to import icons and stuff like that. I notice in editing models and stuff, there is a import button....

So anyways yeah, its a pretty simple question.... and Im sure most of you know how to help me so, thanx in advance

Yaaaaaayyyyy... Some1 acutally more N00blar than me =D

Open WE (<---World Editor), open your map, click on module tab, click on Import manager or (F12)

click File>Import file, now find the images you need. Once you import an file.. Notice the defult path of the file.. It should be war3imported\XXXX.blp. you can change the file path by double clicking on it, by checking the custom path box. In many cases, You would want to delete the path 'war3imported\'

you will need Image extractor 2 to convert tga's into BLP's. IE2 can be found in the tools section.

If you need to do custom loading screen go to a turtorial or go to your war3 folder>maps>frozen throne>scenario>monolith.war3x open up monolith in WE. Monolith can be a big help you.. Gl Hf Gg no Re Thx

***EDIT*** here the link to IE2 http://www.wc3campaigns.com/download...7aa3130a165347

OKay I did exactly what you told me and i imported .blp icons into my map. The problem is that the icons dont show up for some reason... Is there a certain path name Im supposed to put? Or a certain directory I was supposed to put it in? Because even though it says it imported an image file properly, the icon did not show up...
