I'm wanting to make a custom UI frame, but I can't export the assests from GE, and I can't find the MPQ that houses them either, does anyone know the dimensions for them, or have the assests already extracted and could share? Or better yet, if someone could tell me where the MPQ that houses them is I could extract them myself.
I'm not looking to move the UI around, or hide it or anything, just change the look of the frame.
Depending on if you really just want to edit the texture or what you really want to do you'll have to do two different things, if you want to completely change the look of the UI (assuming we're talking about the console) you'll have to extract the model for the three parts of the consoles (yes, the console has its own 3d model). If you don't want to edit the console, but rather UI buttons, battle.net interface and such you'll have to find the images you desire to edit.
The MPQ you should be looking in it's Base.SC2Assets under Mods\Core.SC2Mod\
I can't give you more info until you can explain more what part of the UI do you really want to edit.
Also, why can't you export assets out of GE?
Ehm, depend on which part of the UI you can have a problem, the UI bar at the bottom of the screen is actually model (so they can glow, have thing like birth and death animation. And export image or model from the GE is straight forward, make sure u're opening in from a field in the data editor, right click, export. Or u can extract the mpq yourself

Basically just wanting to change the look of the frame, leavin' the buttons, portrait map etc.. as they are.
I tried extracting the textures, but it wouldn't save, and if I tried to rename it said it was invalid.
They are not just textures. Bottom UI is model that has texture.
Nuts! Guess it'll be another notch on "reasons to learn how to model"
Well thanks for the help anyway lads, much apprieciated.
