Skinning Problems

[IcOniK]

Well pretty much Ive been having some problems downloading image extractor 2. whenever i click the link it leads me to the home page.
i wanna make skins and i downloaded another program that only lets me download skins so if any1 can send me a free skin making program or a working image extractor link it would be great!

Are you having trouble downloading image extractor off the Hive?

You can use wc3viewer, i think you should have no problems downloading that one.

well see i cant even get to the dling stage of the extractor and i have wc3 viewer but i dont know how to make skins with it i can only dl it thx

It's easy, let me put it as short as i can. You switch to .blp in tree view. You find the skin that you need and you go on the 'convert files' toolbar. There you have 2 options, blp -> bmp, jpg, tga, whatever and bmp, jpg, tga whatever -> blp. One is for exporting blp, the other is for turning other format back to blp. Pick the first one(blp ->) and save the skin you want in an editable format. Then edit the skin and use the other option to turn it back to blp. It's not that hard at all.

Since you didn't answer my question I'll simply send this to the Warcraft Editing Tools forum.

well this sucks the program sent me a virus that stole my ip.......

 

[Volvox]

What?! I downloaded from there, there are no viruses on that one. Besides, whenever you reconnect, you get another ip unless you're using a permanent ip but then all you need to get is the ip mask.

hey volvox could you explain how 2 edit da textures in viewer a lil bit more??? i tried 2 do wat u said but i couldnt figure it out!

 

[Volvox]

You can not edit them from the viewer XD You use veiwer only to convert them into a normal file type. Check post #5 for detailed instructions on converting files. After you convert a file into a normal format, you must edit it in another program such as photoshop or paint(not recommended). When you're done editing, use the viewer's conversion tool to convert the new file back into blp.
