Guest | Hey all, I've been working on a map, which involves a worker unit that has 4 towers in his buildings built section. The problem is the 4th tower doesn't show up when I click the build icon, because there isn't enough space. How can I change where the build icons are because there's lots of space for the icons, they just put them at the very bottom. Thanks in Advance. |

Guest | There used to be some .txt files you could extract from the games MPQ and edit, to change the position of buttons for spells, and I believe, for building units. However, the last patch has disabled this functionality, at least on some of the files. My suggestion would be, dont base your towers off of the guard or cannon towers, base it off of the farm or something, with the last patch, you can change the sound set to that of a guard tower if you like, and you can give it the appearance and attacks that you like. More work, but the button to build your new unit will start at wherever the original template unit's button was (e.g. if you use town hall, you'll get upper left slot for it). Hope this helps. |

Guest | Alright, thanks a lot. I was thinking of doing this, but since I already customized all my towers, it just means more work for me so I hesitate. Better than my map not working I suppose. |

Altering the txt files won't work in 1.03. You're going to have to remake your tower with a different base building. The problem is that War3 automattically positions certain buildings to be in certain places, mostly town halls/town hall upgrades. Next time test your map to make sure the building can be picked before going ahead with customizing it. |
