whats the program that can change the map icon on bnet, like ladder, or blizzard, or whatever else it can change it to??
and where can it be found (if you know off hand) ???
You are not supposed to change it. Don't.
You can not change the icon without hacks. And even with hacks, you only turn it into ladder.
Edit - How is this Mapmaking Assistance?
Edit Edit - Oh I thought you meant the 5 stars thingy. Read what Kaboom said.
i thought it was just an addition to one of the map editors..
so does that mean u cant tell me?
ADDITION: yaa, i meant the icon for the map, on the game list....
and d@mn u guys are fast....lol
thats a good thing
Don't change it ok? Don't even ask on how to get it. It's like asking us some links to sites with hacks in them.
well alrighty then, i appreciate the assistance anyways....
peace out for now..
GUIedit had it didnt it, its in the DLDB
Wouldnt you have to patch the game? Because battle.net packets determine if the map is ladder or not.
I knew about that hack long ago.
I suggest don't use it since most of the times it would corrupt the file and make it not playable. It was used some time ago and you barely see it now because it corrupts/doesn't make the map playable with other people.
BTW: Why do you want to do something so useless?
SCM toolkit or use winmpq to extract the file from another map and put it in the map you want.
... Just don't do it. It takes the credit from it being made by you anyways, and if Blizzard finds it, or you play it with that and it's not authentic, you will be very screwed.
I once made a melee map and scmdraft 2 or starforge asked me if I wanted it authorized, so I said yes and then wen to play it. When I went to play it, there was a blizzard picture next the name in the same place it shows up on any maps Blizzard has made.
How do you know that. You can't see what it looks like in the Join screen window if you are hosting it....

Because, I was playing it on the area network (UPD).
you see the symbol when you click on a game and are about to join. itll display fact like the map name, the host, and other things and itll show it in front of the map name.
Its best not to mess with maps that way, not only will ur cd key get banned, your name will be tainted and you will have a very bad reputation (especially on this site) anyway, take my advice, no hacks, no hexediting (stealing maps) and no messing with blizzard files.
It'd be neat to create your own icon for your maps

anyways, if you extract the icon from (say...) un-edited The Lost Temple (in ladder folder) and place it in one of your maps...when you start the game, when the game start timer hits 0, the game will close saying it could not authenticate the map or something.
It's really easy to change the icon for the map, it's just an extra file inside the SCX. You can use WinMPQ to do this in a couple seconds by moving the ladder image from another map to your own. No reason to do it though.
You didnt have to tell him how!! GEEZ!
You shouldn't do it anyway. Also you won't be able to do it unless you can figure it out for yourself. Get WinMPQ then try it.
There really isnt even a point...

If you want to use it, use SCM ToolKit
Actually a certain map protecting/string editing/many other uses program (not GUEdit) has it. It ca nchange it to Ladder or Blizzard map. It's not a hack either. I have it but stopped using it due to its crappiness.
