Builder icons

[Randor244]

I need four icons, a peasant, peon, wisp and acolyte icon.
They should look like the normal icons, but with something added that makes them look like settlers.
Like a hammer in the corner of the icon or something...

Can anyone do this for me?
+rep of course

So you need them in sort of a classification system? But they need something special to show them as builders?

I'll see what I can do.

OFF-TOPIC: I've found a gap in the market; icon requests! This is the third one I'm doing

I'm making two sub-factions of each WC3 race. Each (normal) race will have a special builder called "Founder", that they can trail in their headquarters. The founder can then build the hedquarters of the subfactions.
So the icons of the founders should differ a bit from the regular builders, so one can differ them. The model file should be exactly the same though.

Here's a couple of ideas:

or

Wat do you think?

EDIT: Here's another one, I think this is probably the best idea (except replace teal border with common team colour (ie red for orc, blue for human, etc)

I like the second one the most. Such an effect to all four builders would be perfect
(In different colors then)

Ok here it is (I think - my attachments are being wierd)

 

[Randor244]

Hmm, can't see any attachment...
And yes, I like your last picture in post #4.

 

[LurkerAspect]

Would you like them as well?

 

[Randor244]

I think it's good as it is.
Oh, and I'm a real noob at importing icons. Should I import these directly, and in that case, which path should I set?
Or should I use some other application first?

That's OK

You do it like this: (or at least, this is how I do it)

• Import your icons in the import manager
• If the icon has the prefix "BTN', then double click on the icon (in the import manager) click on the button "use custom path" and enter in the following:
  "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAcolyteFounder.tga (example)
• If the icon has the prefixe "DISBTN," then change the patch to:
  "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNAcolyteFounder.tga (example)
  (Acolyte.tga represents your custom icon)
• That should do it.

It's the same thing with Passive buttons, but slightly different:

• If the Icon has the prefix "PASBTN" then change the file's path to:
  "ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtons\PASBTNAcolyte.tga
• If it has the "DISBTN" prefix and you know that it is the disabled icon of a passive button, change the file's path to:
  "ReplaceableTextures\PassiveButtonsDisabled\DISBTNAcolyte.tga
  (Not sure if that's really required, but that's what I do.)

Here's the link to an official icon tutorial.

Thank you VERY much (+rep)!

You can also use my Path Finder to find the path.

Ah, that's quite a sexy little system!

I think you should make an offline version of that!

Thanks for the link

Done and your welcome.

Offline version requires Windows.
