icon trouble

icon trouble

i read the tutorial on importing icons... once i imported the icons i deleted them and they didnt work... now i would asusme that once i import them they become bound to the map so if i delete the original file why does it make trouble in the editor. this being the case where should i keep my icon files so that they stay with the map?

i saw the sticky thread on green icons. my icons for my items work except.... when i have the shop selected the icons in the inventory turn green. if the hero is selected this is not the case... they also turn green if you open the menu.

plz help.

further info.

im using that WoW mpq file and saving the icons as blp files. imprting them into the map and then deleting the blp files. so far i have only used icons for items. i saved them like this...

BTNaxe1.blp

should it be
BTNINVaxe1.blp

????
thnx in advance to any help or advice offered.

nm about the green thing... i didnt have disabled buttons in there.

did you check so they worked before you deleted them?
maybe you just gave them the wrong path. otherwise just import them to the map again and don't delete them.

first thing off, put the icons anywhere on your pc and import them, then path them as

BTN icon:
ReplaceableTextures\Commandbuttons\BTNNameoftheicon, so if its GreenSlim
just do:
ReplaceableTextures\Commandbuttons\BTNGreenSlim.

And it seems that WE do that thing with green icons and it may not be possible to fix it.

When I import Icons I don't change the path for it. You don't delete it because it won't then end up in your Map.
