converting a normal JPG image to an usable texture in GIMP

[Lestat(br)]

I want to make this image:

an usable image in WC3.
I did some changes, to make it more warcraft-ish.
I tried adding an alpha-channel to the layer, then coverting to TGA, and then to BLP.
But it didn't work.
Please help me. The modified image is attached.
Thanks in advance.

Copy the paste the image and then go to what ever thing and have it create a copied file from the clip board then go over and save as "File name".tga then from there go to warcraft 3 viewer convert it to .blp it will offer to add the alpha for you let it and it'll convert your tga to a blp.


Edit: Whats the size of the image because things converting in to .blp have to be a certain size, I can't remember the exact sizes but Werewulf should be able to help you figuring out the right sizes.

im pretty sure that the sizes have to be squares that are a base of 2 i think so like 256/256 512/512 1024/1024 ect

it doesnt work, the edited image is like 400x400 large, i tried with a 180x180 image and I couldn't either...
but thank you anyways... (+rep)

EDIT: Let me try this KalamMekhar

I tried doing it, and I the .blp texture worked, but just in the viewers, not in warcraft III WE...
"Cannot load blah blah blah" and the green cube.

Thanks for the interest (+rep)

400x400 dam_ I think that maybe your problem warcraft only runs certain sizes.

use warcraft 3 viewer to convert the file from a jpg into a tga
