There are plenty of tutorials about Alpha Channels. Alpha Channels ARE in fact team color. Once you know how to make alpha channels you know how to make team color. Just search around.

But doesn't that only work, when the model allows to be teamcoloured at those parts?
I think changing the parts of the model were teamcolour is allowed hasn't anything to do with 2d but mainly with modelling?!

Teamcolor works only in parts in which the model allows teamcolor, yes, but you still can add teamcolor to your skins in the parts the model allows.

1. Download magos model editor from the tools section.
2. Open your model. Check on it a bit - does it have parts where it seems like gaps in the mesh has been made by the texture rather than by modelling? In that case, you are limited to changing only the parts where the model already has teamcolor.

Otherwise, if the model isn't using any alpha channel, you can just open the texture editor, right click>"create empty". If you right click>edit the texture that appeared, you will see a list of explanations on what number represents which replacable ID; in this case, you want it ti be number 2, since that's eamcolor.

3. open the material manager, and open the material that seems to have the unit's main texture. There, set the filter mode to blend.
4. Create a new material layer in your selected material, and set it's texture path to the path of the teamcolor you just added. Click ok, and then move the new layer up.
If you did things correctly, you should now be able to add teamcolor by editing the textures alpha channel.

Actually Fingoflin, Replaceable Texture ID 1 is team color.

isn't that team glow?
Or wait, maybe it starts at 0?
Oh dear, i feel like such a noob at general computer syntax.
