i don't know, this is realy wierd what i do is that i create the skin, i convert it to blp then i import it to the map, then i save the map restarts the WE then starts the map again and the skin works.
btw do you write blp at the end of the path like Textures\Arthas.blp

 

[Juice_F]

if you use photoshop, do you save the tga as 32 pixels and not 24? it must be 32.

Try 24bit conversion to .blp with WC3 Viewer (say yes to add opaque alpha channel) works always fine for me.

 

[BaNaNa]

ok ill try wat u 2 have said
i have a mac so i have no idea wat to do wit the wc3 viewer and stuff and i use photoshop 7.0.1

 

[BaNaNa]

and btw the skin didnt work how do u make models?

 

[Sopho]

For skinning, you need wc3 viewer to convert the .tga/.jpg/.bmp to .blp...

Sincr your using mac, I don't think that will help you... There are some blp tools in the tools section though.

 

[BaNaNa]

thx but where r those tools???

 

[Sopho]

Will this be in any help to you?

A skin automatically applies itself to the model it is for (with correct path of course)

 

[BaNaNa]

:? :? :? :? :? uhhhhhhhh my editor doesnt do that so im telling u taht the editor accepts models not plain old skins

 

[HeldderWelt]

1. you can't convert a skin into a model. these are two different things
2. if you import a model, you also have to import a skin to apply to the model. the model is the "flesh" of the character/unit/hero/building and the skin is the colouring of the model (thus its name).

now try using a different skin for the same model (there are plenty of those here at wc3search). if it doesnt work and you're sure you did everything right, then i suggest to reinstall warcraft, because in that case your editor would be broken/corrupted or something like that.
