Having trouble getting skins please help.

[soulbad]

Ok this is after i make all of the changes to the skin. I open up warcraft 3 image extractor II and i press open the skin that i have made on the gimp for windows. When i press open i can't find the skin. So how do i get the skin to save it as a .blp when i can't find it. Is there any thing wrong i am doing cause all i do is find the file and press open and i search around, they may be there but i just can't find were they are at.

What you need is a .tga file converter that converts .tga into .blp

i use BLP Tools but thats for macs so search for one somewhere on this site.

Ok i got that other file converter, but i am not sure how to use it. Just because of what it says in each column it is an unfamiliar layout. and with out a browser. Could some one help me use it?

You DON'T need to open a .bmp file if you want to convert it to .blp. Go to main menu, select second menu or third menu from right (I forget the exact name). Go to "Convert .bmp .jpg .tga -> .blp" menu. Then browse file window will pop up and search on your .bmp file.

Wait what program are you using? I can't find the convert thing what is it under.

Ok, i asume you already have warcraft 3 viewer II, and your .bmp file, and you want to convert this .bmp to .blp (CMIIW).

1. open your warcraft 3 viewer II
2. Go to "Convert File" on main menu. (third menu from right).
3. Go to "Convert .bmp .jpg .tga -> .blp" sub menu.
4. After that, a window will pop up asking you what .bmp/.jpg/.tga file that you want to be converted. Then browse to your .bmp file in your harddisk.
5. Then it will ask again where's the location for .blp file that you want to save.
6. Some options will pop up, just clic OK, and you're done.
