World of Warcraft Icons Collection [Updated Jan 18 2013]

    I've created an archive of 10,735 icons from World of Warcraft for you all to use in your map projects. These were all extracted from the latest live version of the game, which at the time of this posting is Patch 5.05 (October 8th, 2012). All of the files are in the .TGA format and are provided AS-IS. I used Ladik's MPQ Editor to extract the files from Interface.MPQ and used XnView to convert them from .BLP to .TGA. These programs can be used to extract icons from future WoW patches, the whole process takes roughly 10 minutes to extract and convert all of the files.

    Feel free to use these in your map projects. They are provided with no support, so I cannot promise that I will update this collection nor provide you with details on how to use them. These files are not sorted, however their file names follow a naming scheme that provides some information which should help in categorizing them.

    [Update] Sorry to say this, but apparently this collection can't be distributed in any way via this website due to it being a quote: "This project violates Copyright by re-distributing artwork owned by Blizzard Entertainment.".

    I know this comes as a disappointment to all of you, but there's nothing I can do about this. At best, you can use the same method I described above to get the icons yourself. It's really a simple process.

    As for why this specifically wasn't allowed when for example model packages are allowed to be posted here, I simply don't know.

    I feel dumb asking this, but how do I download these icons? I can save the image you have posted as a .jpg, but you said there was a zip file with all the images in it that I can't seem to find. Please help =(

    Considering there is 1 download on the asset page it looks like the author either forgot to upload the .zip or something happened to it after just 1 download. I can't see it either.

    Maybe try contacting the author via PM and see if he can re-upload the .zip to the assets page.

    The zip file got deleted shortly after I uploaded it, it looks like. Not sure why. I'll re-upload it in a minute.

    Should be back up. Just needs approval. Moderators may have taken it down before.

    Alright thank you! :) will it be a little "download" button to the right of the description once it gets approved?
