Ok, I'm looking for a way to use the 'magic damage' and 'chaos damage' icons as buttons....where can I find these two? I figure I'm gonna need to edit them slightly, so if someone could give me a good explenation of like, step by step on how to do that you'd get a BIG hug. |

You have to use Wc3 Image Extractor II. _ Open the war3.mpq file. _ Browse into UI\Widgets\Console\Human _ The two icon you want are infocard-neutral-attack-chaos.blp and infocard-neutral-attack-magic.blp. _ Extract them, and modify them. But the little images are in 50x 50, and a ability button is something like 56x56 (without borders). You'll have to center the image, or to scale it. If you manage to create a working edited *.blp, tell me how did you do... I can create my own *.blp, but when I put it into a map, the picture doesn't appear... Thx. |

You can get both Image Extractor II and War 3 Viewer from the Downloads tab on the top of the screen, I believe. If not, go to the Editing Tools forum. Either of these programs will do what you need. I've been using War 3 Viewer for a while, and I like it. Uratoh, if you want, I can make these for you. It's a pretty quick process. |

Thanks MUCH! I wish i'd known someone would just make them...I needed one more icon done, I was hoping to do it myself. I also need a button for Orb of Annihilation that ISNT off/on, for research... |

hmm....after implementing them and testing, there's a slight glitch. I am using them as ranged weapon upgrades: lv 1: Magic Damage icon lv 2: Chaos Damage icon lv 3: Firebolt icon the problem is after lv1 is researched, if lv2 is not 'allowed' due to lack of tech tree, it appears as a solid green square. What do I need to do to fix this problem? |

easy way might be to A) Look at my "wow" thread. B) here are the buttons UI\Widgets\COnsole\Human\infocard-neutral-attack-chaos.blp Chaos Attack UI\Widgets\COnsole\Human\infocard-neutral-attack-magic.blp Spell Attack |

You need to import the buttons when they are disabled as well. They are in ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\Disbtn(Icon) But I think You'll have to make your own disabled magic and chaos buttons. |

Ya, I see that now...I had imported em but I forgot to change their paths....*grins* |
