OK, so I am wondering how many different icon file there are and how to open some of them.

I have successfully retrieved and opened:

icons.bni
icons_STAR.bni
legacy_icons.bni

Yet I am having trouble finding these files:

icons_SEXP.bni (Listed here by Hdx -- https://davnit.net/bnet/vL/index.php?topic=17305.0)

In my SphtBot folder I have:

war3_icons.bni  is that the same as icons-WAR3.bni and how would I open this file?

Also how would I open w3xp_icons.bni? (This one is also in my SphtBot folder and not listed in the topic above by Hdx or Spht)

Thank you,
Alendar

w3xp_icons.bni & war3_icons.bni files are really mpq files.

Not sure why legacy_icons.bni was on hdx's list--it's not something you can download from the battle.net server, but rather an icon collection i made that contains most of the diablo1/warcraft2/starcraft icons

As for war3_icons.bni and w3xp_icons.bni, they are regular battle.net icon files, with larger width/height than you'd expect from legacy icons.  if you render icons using the dimensions specified in the bni, you should have no problem viewing them

How would I go about doing this? I am just trying to get them so I can use them as 28x14 icons.

I thought that wc3 icons files were MPQs like ice said. I haven't looked at them in a long time so i don't know. As for the legacy_icons.bni being in my list, I simply did a "ls" in my BNFTP cache dir.

Well, icons-war3.bni that you can download from bnftp is a mpq, but war3_icons.bni and w3xp_icons.bni are what i made and are regular icon files

You will have to resize and/or crop them then.  that's the approach darkminion went with in dmbot (compare).  they are not all that bigger than legacy icons, so i just used their original size, and it looks fine

The vertical scroll bar in that second screen shot... is pretty thin...

happens when you change it to 12 instead of 16 (default). mine are like that too.

Make a BNI file?

Meh, I'd rather use ZIP files. Anyone can open and edit the contents of a ZIP file.
