yeh ive read that tut before
and i tryed following it before..

if its corrupted, that sucks
coz its the perfect icon for the ability
oh well, thanks anyway

1 thing before u leave...what file type is the icon?

 

[liamthx]

BTNTrade_BrewPoison.blp

a .blp file
shouldnt that work?
=S

try converting it to tga file....

then after that, open wc3 viewer and convert the tga to a blp file, then if an error appear just click ok, because that error says, if u want to put alpha channels, and u need to put alpha channels to an icon if u used it as a blp file

and lastly, try testing the icon again

hey, i just curious and was browsing
i can actually see the image now, but not in abilities.
it will appear as an icon for a hero
but not for an ability.

any ideas?
