making icons...and adding....help

hi, not sure if this is the right place to post this...but, didnt find any place better
Here is my problem...i got this images, that i would like to import as icons...and i dont know which type they need to be ( .blp? .tga?) and image size also (75x75 ?? ).....and if importing icons to use on map, is like skins; type path...save, restart...PLZ help me....once more! =)

sorry if this is wrong place or something

1. the icons need to be blp.

2. they can be any size (I think) but smaller sizes take up less memory space

3. to write a path for an icon, you must add BTN befor the name of your icon like so "BTNiconnamehere.blp". If you want to make a disabeled version, then the path is BTNDIS then the name of the icon that you put in befor like so "BTNDISiconnamehere.blp". Note that you may name your icons whatever you like as long as the normal icon name and the disabled icon name are the same, so "iconnamehere" would be after both the BTN and the BTNDIS if you wanted them to be the same.

thanks dude...but, one thing: which program can i use to transform to blp, from jpg, or bmp?
and also, r u sure that it can be any size?? cause i think it cant

hello? ...plz someone answer me that!! the program i need!! plz

To make blps, use Warcraft 3 image extractor or Warcraft 3 Viewer, both can do that. Icons MUST be 64x64 pixels, disabled icons must hav a path of ReplaceableTextures/CommandButtonsDisabled/DISTBTN(Icon name).blp

Second, DON'T USE IMAGE EXTRACTOR IF YOU MAKE JPGS OR BMPS! Those formats have no alpha channel, which icons need, and image extractor doesn't give them one.
If you try an icon with no alpha channel, you will not be able to see them on game at all, so use warcraft 3 viewer to convert them to blps.

k, got it...but...what if i already got the pictures in jgp, what do i do?? is it possible to add that alpha thing to them?

hey, sorry to double post, but, i got some programs to convert, and i extracted with w3 image viewer, and saved it on bmp...them i got the picture i wanted...left the border, and pasted it on top of the orignal icon...then i wanted to convert back to blp to import...but it got messed up...like, i think its mising that alpha thing...well...need help here to add my own image, which is jpg, or bmp ( i dunno if convertig between them dont mess them up ) and convert it to blp, to import. thank u guys for helping me this far...but still need this...plz...
