So I am creating a dialog with those classic Battlenet-blue borders. I created a pull down for it, and I noticed that its color changes depending on the race of the player. The Protoss looked perfect for it, and I would like to have it not be race dependent and only show the Protoss one. Is there a way to do this?
As I couldn't figure out, I tried coloring and desaturating with desaturated color set to blue. I found out that desaturation doesn't work on it, and that set dialog item color mixes it with the color of your choice instead of setting it to that color.
If there are no other options, could you create one from scratch? If so, how would you do it?
You should be able to replace the terran/zerg images with the protoss ones. So race would become irrelevant, because every race has the same art associated with it.
The trick is to import your own Assets.txt file under the directory "Base.SC2Data/GameData". This will override the usual starcraft assets with any changes you make, but it will leave everything you don't mention as it was before.
This is an example of the assets file we used for runecraft to replace the resource icons with the one we wanted:
The only problem is that I don't know the name of the dropdown menu you would use instead of "UI/ResourceIcon1_Prot". But if you can find that, you can make this work. I have a hunch you could probably find the list of these in "Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\GameData\Assets.txt", but I don't know how you'd open that. You may need an MPQ viewer, I'm not entirely sure.
