What i have to do to import image icons....

i try to do this way ----> " Standard buttons have a frame around them. ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNLightning.tga ( see sample3 )

Passive buttons have no frame. ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\PASBTNLightning.tga

Disabled buttons have no frame and are much darker. ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNLightning.tga ( see sample4 )

Disabled passive buttons are the same. ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISPASBTNLightning.tga
" always shows green icon.... Made icons in right way " Also make sure your icons are 24-bit ", also i try other way.... to open and make blp file to tga (24 bit)( see sample5 ) and then to import to WE and if it's not research or normal ( on the right lvl ---> Hero level 1 ; skill request lvl 6 ( ulti ) ( see sample1,2 ), i get the stupid green icon...

I import icon files to Abilities in WE, Mountain King Ability Avatar ( named Grow by me also remaked to be updated 3 times ) ( see sample6 )


Then, what should i do to make icons work :confused::confused::confused::confused:

I guess you commited a mistake:
The file you're importing MUST be called BTNYourfile.blp our BTNYourfile.tga for Buttons Normal. You named them with a underline BTN_Yourfile.tga

Remove the underlines that preceeds the name of the ability.

Do the same to DISBTN and PASBTN.
No underlines before the ability name (although it's the name of the file, it's only possible mistake I ssee)

EDITSorry, I didn't see the last two images... I'll think wut could it be so

My Icons Don't Work

If you get a green box or a black box where your icon should be, it appears your graphic isn't properly working.

Firstly, make sure your import path is correct, typically most problems that occur are because the person has not imported the icons into the correct path.

If you decided not to use a DISBTN icon, that the green box you are seeing is NOT the DISBTN, because that is expected.

If that is not the case, make sure you have merged your icon properly onto the graphic and that there are no "floating" images in it. Consult your picture editing program help guide on how to do this.

Did you save the alpha channels right? You SHOULD NOT save alpha channels if you are using TGA icons. You SHOULD save alpha channels if you are using BLP format.

Green: Icon not found.
Black: BLP with without alpha channels.
Crash: TGA with saved alpha channels.

Um, instead of going through all of the trouble (because personally, i think it's the image just being a bitch) just make the icon yourself using the image
Button manager

since your image isn't working right, use a "save image as" duplicate of it, and use that image to make an icon.
It'd be like making it all over again. Just, really easy.
Just try it, and if it works, than it was the icon. If not, it's probably some importing fail. :/

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
