Author: Maik Gollnick

Description: New Icon Maker tool added. It helps you to design your own warcraft III icons.

Important: You need java on your system.

0.Step --> Use the toolbar

Important buttons are added in the toolbar, move your mouse above the buttons and read the tooltips for more informations.

1.Step --> Open a icon file

If you have a icon file, maybe you downloaded it on www.wc3sear.ch, click on file -->open. The IconMaker can only open tga image files, so you have to convert your blp file into a tga file (use blizzard 's image converter).

2.Step --> Make Passiv Icon/Make Disabled Icon

That's very easy, you can click edit --> Make Passiv Icon or just use the toolbar button, if you want to make a disabled icon its nearly the same way, click on edit --> Make Disabled Icon.

3.Step --> Enable/Disable Grid

I added a grid option which helps you designing your image. Click on edit --> grid --> on/off or use the toolbar. You can change the grid size in 1x til 5x to optimate your view. For this you can use the toolbar button in the right corner or click on edit --> properties --> cursor/grid.

4.Step Change Cursor Color

Click on edit --> change cursor color. A color chooser helps you to find a good color for your cursor.

5.Step Keyboard and Mouse

  • keyboard --> click on edit --> properties --> keyboard/mouse
    The default keys are w/up, s/down, a/left, d/right and space/set pixel. You can change them if you click on the change button. For some help use the info button, a window apears that show's you the ascii signs for your keys.
  • mouse --> click on edit --> properties --> keyboard/mouse

6.Step create a new icon default/autocast

All you have to do is click on file --> new icon --> default/autocast.

Now you can try to make your own icon. Have fun :D.
