Extracting Icons

[Derek0]

I was making a site for my map and, being too lazy to go through and take screenshots of each non-custom icon in my game, I was wondering if there was a way to get them out of the world editor, like export them into JPGs or TGA. If not, is there an online source I can get the icons from? Or at least the unit icons? I found one site with some unit icons but I use some of the campaign icons as well as TFT icons so that site didn't help that much.

Get the warcraft 3 image extractor, or some other MPQ opening program, and extract them that way. The image extracter even lets you save them from BLPs to JPGs (I think, if not JPGs, then definitely TGAs). They should be in the replacable textures/command buttons folder.

Extractor can only open and save blp and tga for the record

Thanks, I got the icons I needed Also, the Warcraft 3 Image Extractor did save the icons I got as JPGs, all but one which it would only let me save a TGA, so I used The GIMP to convert it. I guess some can export as JPGs and some cant.
