Extracted file from warcraft viewer

[yobare]

i extracted file that i wanted to skin from warcraft viewer to an TGA file open it in hotoshop and when i see it in photoshop it looks like this look picture.
And then i painted sumthing and where going to look if its working.

And then re open it in warcraft viewer convert to an blp file.

And when i try the skin in game it doesent work :S

changed the blp file: the skin from Units\Creeps\Beastmaster\Beastmaster.mdl to

Units\Creeps\Beastmaster\Beastmaster.blp

re open world editor and the skin isent there ? o:

 

[yobare]

Omg comon help me now guys :S

 

[NhazUl]

Yes. Because the path is "Textures\BeastMaster.blp".

You can find the path by following the treeview when you export the skin with the Viewer.

And save it as "BeastMaster.blp", not "Beastmaster", otherwise the game will not recognize it.


EDIT: Do NOT double post. You can bump a thread after 24 hours.

 

[yobare]

so i will have to change the imported file to Textures\BeastMaster.blp

 

[NhazUl]

Exactly.

Then save the map, close the WE, and then reopen the map. This is necessary as to refresh the things and make the map accept the new skin.

 

[yobare]

Still not working...
i did this imported the skin.
and i change the skin path to this 2 no one works...
Tryed bouth
Units\Creeps\Beastmaster\BeastMaster.blp
and Also Textures\BeastMaster.blp

 

[NhazUl]

WHAT??? You imported the skin TWICE? And you hope this to work? And... The original filename. Is it BeastMaster or Beastmaster?

When converting to .blp, did you add alpha channel?

 

[yobare]

what is alpha channel....
And the real name of the skin is BeastMaster2 and i tryed that aswell.
i mean i wright Textures\BeastMaster2.blp on the imported file not working
Here is the skin

 

[NhazUl]

NO.

The filename must be EXACT THE SAME as the original skin so it can be overwritten.

The Alpha channel is a channel added in photoshop in order to make the texture visible ingame. (It depends on other stuff though, but I will not explain it now.) When converting a texture with no alpha channel using the Viewer, it should ask you to add it and you must say yes. If it does not, the texture already has an alpha channel.

someone told me, skins cannot be shown in WE, you have to test the map in Warcraft?! öÖ

 

[NhazUl]

The skin itself cannot be shown in WE*, it must be applied on a model that "wears" it.



_______________
*Okay, it can be shown. When you edit an icon value, it appears as an icon

 

[yobare]

So the Texture for my skin should be Textures\BeastMaster.blp
I mean when i rename my skin. I should rename it as the texture as the model have like in this case i shold rename BeastMaster2.blp to Textures\BeastMaster.blp and it should work?

 

[NhazUl]

I see you've got it. But. In order to make the others better understand you, you must know, that

the TEXTURE itself is BeastMaster.blp

the PATH for it is Textures\BeastMaster.blp.

EDIT: Well, texture named "BeastMaster2.blp" would do nothing, simply becuse the Beastmaster model does not use it. It will say: "WTF is this texture doing here, I use only BeastMaster.blp!"

 

[yobare]

but still when i change the skin doesent shown up in WE mybe it doesent shown up?

I be Quiet ITS WORKINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur best Nazhul give me ur msn ffs if i need to ask sum dummy questions huhu haha LOL dont shot me

 

[NhazUl]

As I said, save the map, close the WE, test the map and reopen it with WE.

 

[ady_illidan]

have you restarted WE?

That´s not true. It doesn´t matter how the texture is named as long as the path is correctly written.

 

[NhazUl]

If you say so... it doesn't work in my WE.

 

[NO_exe]

if the textures name is Beastmaster2.blp, but you change the path into Textures\Beastmaster.blp it will work, because the Texture will get renamed automaticly.

 

[NhazUl]

It does... occasionally. I do not count on this, it tricks me sometimes.

Enough of spam from me.

that is false, and i do believe you have issues with alpha, next time make sure you extract as tga and save as tga.
