I have no idea how to get icons from the MPQ. I need to modify them slightly, such as making passive or active versions of icons. So, my question is... What program(s) will I need to do this, and how do I go about doing it? I have an art program already. I just need an extraction program (and the links to them). Thanks in advance. Edit: I've got cohadar's Wc3Borderizer, so now I really just need the extraction tool. |

I find myself sitting with Magos' Model Editor for all my MPQ-extraction needs, but if it's images you're into, track down the classic WC3 Image Extractor II. |

Thanks, I'll see what I can find. EDIT: Thanks Rao, that's exactly what I needed. |

I actually use WC3 Viewer by Prophet for icon viewing/extracting. I like it's tree-view interface more than Magos'. |

I'm not using Magos at all. But in other news, I can't find the Far Sight icon. Anywhere. I ctrl+D'd in the object editor, got the path, and looked. It's not there. Not even search can find it. I'm using the Wc3 Image Extractor II. EDIT: In fact, it seems to be missing a lot of icons. So far I haven't found 3 in a row. I'm following their exact path and nothing comes up. EDIT EDIT: What the hell? It's like any icon I'm currently using is NOT in the list. I can't even find basic Heal! EDIT x3: I've found: Mana Flare, Monsoon, Orb of Venom,. I cannot find: Far Sight (BTNFarSight) Heal (BTNHeal) Rain of Fire (BTNFire) Soul Gem (BTNUsedSoulGem) Defend (BTNDefend) Orb of Frost (BTNOrbOfFrost) EDIT x4: Well that sucks. Gotta look in the other MPQ. |

Make sure you're looking in the war3.mpq, not the wa3x.mpq. Far Sight isn't in the expansion MPQ, but rather the RoC one. |

...Orly? Well that's cheap. Does Wc3 Viewer do that too? |

Yeah, you need to load whichever MPQ you want to view, you can't view everything at once. |
