[Solved] Texture displays in WCIII Model Viewer/Editor...but not on mapedit... ideas?

Edit: Though this is obviously an alpha issue I have decided to abandon this reskin, as another model with better animation which works in worldedit in a retextured form has been found.

thank you all for your help, I have distributed rep.

Possible solution: Proper management of textures using Magos' WarcraftIII editor.

I recently did my first texture/slight model edit for this model:

So I'm replacing an in-game texture with a custom one, I thought I did the pathing correctly but apparently not?

Here is what it looks like in worldedit:

Here is what it looks like in WCIII Model Viewer:

Here is what it looks like in WCIII Model Edtior:

Oh and here's what the texture looks like (red overlay is the alpha channel)

Any suggestions as to what could cause this or how I could go about fixing it? Many thanks.

Rep will be given for any help provided.

I'm working on an edit for the "Napoleonic Skirmisher" as well, and I wouldn't like to encounter this error again after working on a texture heh.

Also am I allowed to do these edits w/o permission so long as I don't take credit for them or upload them?

I mean..obviously there's no law saying I can't, but will I be shunned from hive for doing it?

Wow your skin looks very good dude!
But. Check the path again and make sure that its the right one.
After you have checked, restart world editor and then it should appear. If not, i think you have messed the alpha up.

i think same as x-omg-x.
may you have worked with some layers and and didnt bring them together. so you saved the wrong one.

Make sure you saved and restarted WE after importing the texture and setting its path, as it may not load it other wise.
Check alpha / team colour stuff, maybe the texture is broken in some way via that. Also remember that the viewer emulates WC3's view, and is not 1:1.
