0 - What do we need?

If we don't have these allready,

We need this tool.

We need Warcraft III. (Go buy it!)

We need the Storm.dll from the
Warcraft III dir (copy it to the
dir that this tool is residing in)

We need ijl15.dll from the Warcraft
III directory. (same as above)

We need Visual Basic Dll files
(search the internet :P)

We need 32Bit colors! (maybe 24Bit will do)
Check your desktop resolution and
color depth!

The other usual stuff, keyboard, mouse,
monitor and computer (sound is not needed yet)

================================

1 - Viewing an image

If you installed Warcraft III correctly,
the images from the main warcraft archive
would load up automatically.

If not, you will have to open up the main
archive (or any other mpq archive with
images) by using the 'Open' menu, and
then selecting 'Archive' (or by using
the hot-key Ctl-A)

Now there will be a (by default) treeview
image of the contents, there you can
browse through the images with ease.
You might prefer a ListView of the images,
this can be chosen by opening the View
menu and selecting ListView (or by using
the hot-key Ctl-L).

Just click an image to show it in the
preview box.

================================

2 - Extracting an image

Load up an image by using the method
described under '1 - Viewing an image'.
Open up the Save menu and select 'Image'
(or use the hot-key Ctl-S).
Now select the path to extract too and the
format (from the drop-down combobox).
This also works in a sortwise manner when
selecting multiple images while viewing
in ListView.
Note: if you choose .jpg as extraction
format, you will be prompted for the
desired JPG compression quality (higher
is better but requires more HD space).
================================

3 - Converting a .tga to .blp (advanced)

Load the Targa file by opening up the
'Open' menu and selecting 'Image'
(hot-key Ctl-O). Now you may browse
to the place where your Targa Image
resides.
Click on it.
Now the Targa Image is loaded, open
the 'Save' menu and selecting 'Image'
(hot-key Ctl-S).
Now select the path to save to, and
select the .blp format. You will now
be prompted for the desired JPG
compression quality (higher is better
but requires more HD space and system
memory).
