I need help plz. How do I replace the old user interface with a new one? I got the images in tga. To be more exactly I want to replace the orc interface |

well... turn them into blp.. go to image extractor and find the pathing for the orc interface (if you need help with that email me) then once you found them, import it into game and use their paths Note: When you do here are some problems that may occur: -Black surrounding your Interface >To fix just simply take all the things that are black and you dont want and make them transparent. -UI is not working together, they are overlapping the wrong way >This is tedious, keep reworking it so the overlapping doesn't look overlapped. -My UI is not showing up full, the edges are being cut off >This may be the result of having your UI too big, look at warcraft UI and try and go along the same size. Hope I helped you Jigrael :) |

What I did was paste all the template UI bits together into one handy image, made the interface, then split it up again into the appropriate blocks. Completely skipped over all the overlapping and edge cut-off issues. |

Or just keep them as seperate layers in a master image so you don't have to cut it up after :) |

Sorry to bug u again guys but I cant get OrcUITile04 to work, it just wont show, no matter what I do. Ive checked the original tile and the zize is okay, I dont know whats happening... |

I have had that problem before, are you sure its in a BLP format? |

I made it work, but I whink Warcraft is buggy: the original 4th(orc,human,ne,n undead) main UI tile is 64*512, but mine worked with 128*512. Ive checked another custom made UI and the forth tile is still 128*512, so whats wrong here? |

Alpha channel. Make sure it's opaque in the right places or, better yet, that it actually exists. That's got me a few times. |

No no, it wasnt alpha Im telling u that it was the texture size, I needed to resize my tga to 128*512 instead of 64*512, but its strange since the OrcMainUI(the original 4th main UI tile) blp is 64*512 in size. NOW it WORKS btw problem solved. |

Hmm thats odd, alpha propably isn't needed in this situation, most UI just gets transparent with eraser. |
