Hi there, i really need help, because my icons don't work I working on a campaign-project and downloaded some models Now I need some Icons for them, because there aren't any for them That what i did: ... made some Screen-shots in WE-Editor ... changed them with "Nero Photosnap" to 58x58, cut something away and changed them from .tga to .jpg ... opend a new Image with "Paint" (I know, it's not really good...) ... set image-size to 64x64 ... made metal-border ... paste the 58x58 screen-shot picture into the image and placed it in middle ... made a copy of it and changed the border black (the DISBTN) ... saved as .jpg (paint dont work with .tga) ... made color-settings from the DISBTN to 50% (DISBTN completed) ... extracted with "Nero Photosnap" both to .tga ... extracted both with "WC 3 Image Extractor 2" to blp ... imported the files (they didn't get their normal names, i called them "BTNTroll-Hütte" and "DISBTNTroll-Hütte" and they appear like this: "BTNTroll_H_LP" and "DISBTNTroll_H_lp") I changed them to the right path (ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTN...) and so on I can't show them up in WE and "WC 3 Viewer", but in "WC 3 Model Editor" I tried with importing as .tga but they also get their strage names, their typ called "other" and ther don't work either. May it's the Image-programmes i use, may the XX-bit setting from the pictures (i don't know how to show or to change it) When you now thing, I'm a noob in making images and so on, you are absolute right ^^° By the way: sry for my bad english, it's not my native language Proto ![]() |
