How would I change the picture of lets say, the gold icon in the resources?

And also, where is the icon for food? I want to turn wood into food.

Advanced -> Game Interface.

Then "Icon - Lumber" is the field you want to change to change the lumber icon.

And the Food Icon location can be found in the same spot (Here it is to save you the trouble):

Food Icon:
UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceSupply.blp

Gold Icon:
UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp

Lumber Icon:
UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceLumber.blp


PS to change any of the setting on that window you MUST put a check in the box that says "Use Custom Game Interface"


You can change almost any Icon in that box, even the "Hero" and "Neutral Building" things that appears on the mini-map.

And the good thing about this is that you don't have to import any files, unlike ROC where you did.

This will allow you to use ANY file in the MPQ archive online, without having to add any file size to your map.
More people should know about this.

does this allow you to change the resource description as well?

Like if u put cursor over gold symbol text comes up

Or am i just being an idiot and asking a really obvious question again... :\

You can also change error messages/descriptions and everything like that(also the name for strength, agility and intelligence, ...)

for ALL strings that appear when you move the mouse over an armor type or hero atrributes or gold or idle workers and so on, there is a seting in the the same place advanced - game interface there you can look for things like text - gereral ... there are endless masses of strings that can be changed ... i just found that out a few days ago.
