def help
what do i do to turn these in this order:
New Specialty Icons.rar
into a unified def file such as this:
un32.def
i have managed to change start menu specialty texts:
so all that is left to do now is create a unified un32.def file (and un44 of course, they are identical in content anyway) from the icons above and i am basically done. all the def tools in era seems to just edit already existing stuff not create new ones, which software do i use? i also have future plans to modify specialization boost script for this mod but that is for distant future, too advanced for me yet.

1) It is better to post modding questions in a modding thread, such as "Introduction to Modding and Scripting".
a) Expert modders who have posted on that thread will get email notifications that a new comment has been posted.
b) The question and answer will be posted there where other beginners can find it.
c) The answer may already be in that thread.
2) UN32 and UN44 are not identical in content. The sizes of the images are different.
3) H3Deftool will create a new DEF and starts in that mode, with a default DEF type selected and a list of frames to be entered for that type on the left. If you change the DEF type, you get the list of frames needed for that type. Or you can edit an existing DEF of the same type and simply change the DEF file path to end with the new DEF name. (Resave the HDL file under the new name also.) See also the H3DefTool "Help" button where I learned this information.
4) You can also change a DEF file name by renaming it in Windows Explorer and then drag and drop it into a LOD with MMARCHIVE.
5) You must face Russia and bow to Grayface before each use of H3DefTool and MMARCHIVE.

Hi artu, just copy the file from lod, and replace frames with ones you want or maybe do as JimV hinted.
Hint: mentioned pair of defs have same content mechanics-wise but not same binary-wise (Jimv correctly mentioned they differ in image size).
I wanted to do similair mod (changed specialities), so probably it's better for me to help you now instead doing (almost) same work later.
Content-wise question: which specialities you want to replace? Have you ready list to post or still thinking?
You probably would want replace many specialities of conflux heroes, and all navigation specialists, yeah? What more?
Do you follow equal-balance-rule or just want to replace weak ones?
I already worked a bit with extended specialities script so I may help to write a modded one.
PS: do you have any planned changes for campaign heroes? Roland is really inferior to gelu...
Edit: did I understand you properly or you are just doing interface fix for existing script?
