Make sure your icons are .blp... if not download wc3viewer.

Go to Downloads-> Tools-> Wc3viewer

If they are .blp, use the import manager , import the icons... then do this

-for icon -

ReplaceableTextures\CommandsButtons\BTNicon.blp

-for disabled icon-

ReplaceableTextures\CommandsButtonsDisabled\PASBTNicon.blp

any questions

I have Wacraft 3 viewer, and all my icons are .blp. So, for the path of the icon in the import manager, i type ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNicon.
And where it says "icon", i put the name of it, right

As you can already tell, im a noob :P

Dude, you have to save your map and restart the WE. If you just imported the icon it can't be loaded for some odd reason (in my opinion Blizzard should change this). You have to quit and restart the WE. Then open your map. Now the imported icon should display.
