Forum:Finding decals in the SCII editor

I discovered that Decals can be found on the Galaxy Editor, just saying so it's easier from now on to get the images. Omega20 17:52, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

I knew they were there (in player properties) but I don't know how to extract them. Do you know how to do so? PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 17:52, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

I did it so by taking a screenshot of them. Omega20 18:00, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

I've started looking into the Editor. Short of getting some sort of third-party tool, the best I can do is go into the Archive Browser and take desktop screenshots of the dialog with the preview image. So far, the "easiest" way I've found to get to the Browser is through the Data (F7) window, and then clicking the Browse button beside the Icon File text field.

It would be preferable to use the protoss versions of the decals. They are much clearer, and it'll be much easier to convert them to SVG later. - Meco (talk, contribs) 18:03, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Just found an easier way. In the Archive Browser, right click on the item in the list and select "View File". In the popup, right click again and select "Export Image". This will save the image in TGA format. - Meco (talk, contribs) 19:22, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Where do you find the archive browser? PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 00:52, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Go to the Data window (F7). Select "achievements" (or something like that, not in Windows right now so can't check) in the drop down. This will populate the left area with the right items. Select an item in the left area to display its details in the right area. In the right area there should be a disabled text field labelled "Icon File", with a Browse button beside it. Select Browse to open the Archive Browser.

Something similar can be done to access the unit models. - Meco (talk, contribs) 01:29, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't in Achievements or Rewards. Hmm. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 01:44, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

It's under Data Type "Rewards" for me. Search for "decal". Make sure your Data Source is set to "All Data". - Meco (talk, contribs) 21:35, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
