Each time an official client connects to Battle.net, it also connects to Battle.net's "ftp" server and downloads icons.bni (among other files). Each product icon including the blizzard rep icon and the rest of those kinds of icons are located in that file.

Why do you need to modify it? The server sends it to the client and the client reads from it to determine a few things, 1 of those things being which icon belongs to which client type.

This is a small program made by Skywing ages ago and it is the only program I am aware of that does some kind of BNI file editing. However, I don't recall if you can edit the files in the way where you can insert new images into it.

I'm having a lot of trouble fully understanding what you're asking. It's fine that English isn't your first language, but I really don't know what you're saying here. Can you explain it more in depth?

If I understand correctly, do you want these changes to occur when you log on to Battle.net using the official game client? For example: you put your game CD in. you load up the game, you connect to a Battle.net server, and instead of the game showing "Blizzard" on the icon for Blizzard reps, you want it to appear as something else? Is that what you are trying to do?

From the sounds of it he may be working on a PvPGN server. And wants to change the text that shows up when he sends an announcement.

I started thinking that same thing, and that does seem like it'd make the most sense with what he's saying. But it's hard to find out, lol. And if he is working on a PvPGN server, it's going to be even harder to assist him.

The colors are hardcoded into the clients, so either way he's going to need to patch the game.

You can't without modifying the client. And I doubt anyone has the locations you'd need to change on hand.
Also it'd only work on modified clients, so its.. useless.

You'd need to have a launcher for your server (sort of like how ICCup works) to change that.

And that is what I would have to be modified? in any case it is possible to change the color of /ann ? is less complicated?

The simplest way, in my opinion, would be to alter the incoming chat messages to filter for messages with the blizrep/sysop flags and then replace the originating sender as "Administrator" and "Moderator". I'm unfamiliar with pvpgn, so that doesn't help...

Edit
Ohhhh we're talking about d2 in game chat?.. Errrr nvm
