Aura Icons...

OK... I've searched this forum to see if this has been brought up... it has but I couldn't find a fix for my problem.

Right now I have 3 custom icons for one ability... its a modified Endurance Aura that uses the Unholy Frenzy icon (edited of course)...

So i have:
BTNFrenzyAura (the button you click to research)
DISBTNFrenzyAura (what it changes to when you F10, hero dies, etc.)
PASBTNFrenzyAura (the passive version with a black border)

Right now I have them overwriting the Endurance Aura icons in the import manager, paths are:

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNCommand.blp
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNCommand.blp
ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\PASBTNCommand.blp

(if you're wondering, Command is the endurance aura icon's path in the mpq)

It all works fine except for one thing: the disabled button still shows up as endurance aura. Is there a minor misspelling that I made? is it impossible to overwrite disabled passive buttons? Any and all help would be appreciated. (if you need a better explanation just ask)

Unfortunately, I have no answer to your question. However, do units being influenced by this aura get the Endurance icon under status, or your custom ones? Just wondering, and it's related.

I specified a custom buff in the custom spell, so it uses that for the icon when a unit is under the effect. It all works perfectly fine, the spell works (adds IAS instead of ias and movement), the buffs show up right, the artwork for the aura is there (on the hero and the units affected), the icons work too, except for the disabled version of the aura. :(

EDIT - I'm an idiot... I figured it out... there's a seperate path for the passive disabled buttons that i didnt know about... sorry for any headaches :-\

What might that path be? I am going to be changing some auras pretty soon, so that could help. Thanks.

Well, basically, passive ability icons consist of 4 seperate icons.

1) The icon you click to learn that ability
2) The disabled icon when you are too low level
3) The icon displayed when the aura is active and working
4) The disabled icon when you die, f10, etc.

the paths are:

1) ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNSpellName.blp
2) ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNSpellName.blp
3) ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\PASBTNSpellName.blp
4) ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISPASBTNSpellName.blp

I didn't know about the DISPASBTN path...
