Changing the interface

How does one modify the textures in the Common\interface folder?

I am trying to edit the texture file status_shield

I edited the texture file, then munged common. When I opened up SWB2 (2005) no changes were made.

did you add it to your req file?? and did you copy all lvl files manuell, that are not copied automatically?

So your saying I add the "status_shield" to a .req file under a new side? I have the improved/fixed munge files that move the .lvl files for me like sound, load screen, etc to the addon folder.

Is there anything I need to do in the .lua?

Is this topic related to the problem I am having: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=32145&p=523314&hil ... ns#p523314

well you need to find the correct req file. Since it is interface I'd search in ingame.req or common.req.

Find the .req file where this file is included in stock assets. If you found it you can replace it by doing you own custom version of that req (lvl) and load it before/after (i don't remember whether texture could be overwritten. If it is possible after, otherwise before) the stock one is loaded.

For doing your own custom lvl you can use either that tutorial you referenced above, or you use this tool: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=30995
