[massive]

uhm im creating a td and have this problem..
when building a tower that requires something, the icon that the tower has is a green square box.im using a custom icon that i downloaded on hiveworkshop.do i need to use the disbtn file or i cant change it?

Use this program to get the disbtn
wc3Borderizer

You need to have the DISBTN, even if it will be the same icon, it needs different path. I don't really remember the path, but you can find it on the Hiveshop itself if you downloaded it from there.

every icon on hive posted with disabled version, just follow instructions and import disabled version too.

yes i have the disabled version but how do i use it?cant find anything that says something like that..

 

[skyblader]

The normal icon should be

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTN(filename).tga/blp

Right?

The disabled one should be

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTN(filename).tga/blp

I'm not sure is the CommandButtons has an S though.

Go to import manager, import it there, and change the paths to what skyblade333 said above.

no no.. i know all that its just how do i use the disabled one?all i can see is
Art-Icon-game interface _______________ and thats used for the enabled one but how to i add in to use the disabled one?i have alr changed the path.

You only have to do this in the import manager select file and use costum path

Just clarifying once more, you just have to import the disabled one, change the path to what I have stated, and it'll automatically show the disabled icon when it's disabled. Don't have to select it or whatever. Only need to select the enabled one.

This is correct. If it is showing as a green square, it means you imported it wrong.

It doesn't really matter which file path you give your icon or what you call it really. You could name your icon FunnyPath/Blargh.blp if you wanted to. However, the path the game will always check for the disabled version for when the icon is greyed out will always be,

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DIS<file name>.<file format>

With the previous example, you'd have to specify the custom path of "ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBlargh.blp".
