From PVPGN

Jump to: navigation, search

You can customize your pvpgn server -> your W3XP client.
I want to write what can you do with your pvpgn server.
First you must understand lot's of things.
Warcraft 3 and also TFT use mpq files.
These mpq files the most important War3x.mpq storage all data:
maps, textures, models, music, etc.
And you can easily modified these files.
But the most important you can customize these files only to your PVPGN server!
You can make custom login screen, logo, banner, icons change war3 music :)

But how this is work?
Well when you connect to Battle.net or PVPGN server you download icons-WAR3.bni
This is a support file everyone knowns that.
In the pvpgn-1.99.x release you can find this file here -> \pvpgn\var\files\icons-WAR.bni
We will open this file with an mpq editor.
You can download here the mpq editor:
