Where do you put custom spell icons for arcade game?

[untold sky]

I've searched the internet and found tutorials saying I should put it in game/dota_addons/("addon_name")/resource/flash3/images/spellicons. I've tried doing that but it doesn't work. am I missing something or is this for the old Dota 2?

[gritty scaffold]

how are you referencing the custom spell icon

[untold sky]

like this "AbilityTextureName" "frost_arrows"

the file name is frost_arrows.png

[gritty scaffold]

interesting, are you using GetAbilityTextureName in your lua file?

[untold sky]

no, i don't

the frost arrows is not a lua ability, I just modified the variables from the dota 2 abilities directory

[random arrow]

On which file are you doing those changes?

[untold sky]

npc_abilities_override.txt

is that what you mean?

[random arrow]

Yeah. Looks fine, though I'm not entirely sure Dota 2 spells look for the usual custom spellicon folder for the icon

Can you try changing it to be the name of another Dota 2 ability, see if it changes?

[untold sky]

it seems to be getting the icons from somewhere else. I replaced the ability texture name for frost arrows to queenofpain_scream_of_pain along with the png but the default QoP scream icon is there

I figured, it probably doesn't take the images for default Dota 2 abilities from the same place it does for custom abilities

[untold sky]

if i remember correctly, there was no flash3 folder inside resource

I had to create it myself
