just an idea.

I'm making a map that is going to have a shit load of custom player models, I was wonder if I could replace the game interface of a unit with an image?

If not do you know where I could find tut for making game interfaces?

1) You english isn't very good.

2) Sure you can! To make a custom UI(user interface) you first need the image you're going to use. If you look in the tutorial section, there should be one about making a custom load screen.

Actually, if you wanted, say, Gold and Lumber to look different, then that is simply done by importing your files (described in that tutorial), then clicking the Advanced menu, and clicking the Game Interface option. Find the thing that says "Icon-Gold" and in the top left of the window click off the check box labled "Use Defaults". Now you can edit the values, so double click "Icon-Gold" and change it. Same thing for lumber. Just search through there for anything else you want to change.


PS: If you mean to change the Portrait of the unit (the 3d thing that appears in the bottem left/middle) then that is a little different, you should check the Modeling tutorials.

ok, I don't think you understand what I want. o_O
say if you play wc3 and you click on a choas peon, it would show a portrait like this

now, instead of showing a portrait can I make it show an image.

If I can make it show an image instead of a model (portrait) can you tell me how.

If I can't make it show an image, do you know where I can find a tut on how to make a portrait....

thanks for the help but I know how to create, import and replace skins.

Ok I DID describe that above actually. I said that if you want to make the 3d modle on the bottem of the screen turn into a 2d image, then you need to ask the people who are good at modles. All it entails should be making a single flat square, and skinning it with the picture you want, but again, I don't know how to do it. You should go onto the Modeling section of the forums

What an amazing idea. It would save at least 25% of the size of all custom building models with seperate portraits. And there are some which have just that.
