1. my ui-editor bugs here. i always use the XML-Button, then delete one letter (e of frame) and add letter again. then press save map. now changes are saved. if i leave out one step the map might start with the current settings but if i close ui-editor it's gone
2. don't know exactly but i would try to hook the dialog items with triggers and set border then to invisible or import files with same name to override the default borders. you can also set the border image inside the ui-editor (i guess). there is an xml elem for that.this might help: http://www.sc2mapster.com/paste/7409/
3. import other graphics and override the default ones
I have three questions about the in-game UI Editor, since I've been unable to find anything concrete.
1. How can I save any changes I've made? I can't find any save button or even a hotkey to save.
2. How do I remove the default UI borders around the UI frames (you know, the Terran, Zerg and Protoss art around the buttons n' such)?
3. How can I add my own UI borders?
1. because that functionality isn't inside the ingame UI editor. It is unfinished, but they were kind enough to leave it in the game for us to debug our UI and better understand the existing UI and its capabilities.
2. Usually that is done in frames with the type "Image". They contain a "Texture" property where you need to enter the path to the texture you want.
So, you would use something like:
Ok, so now with the in-game editor out of the way, how do I change the UI? I've had trouble with importing .SC2Layout files, because those I downloaded and modified won't apply to the UI. I've tried to import them and add them in the Custom Layout Files+ in the deafult game UI in the data module, yet no changes were made.
