Tileset Recolor Request

[Dargaroth]

Hi there. I'm in need of some simple tile recolors done for some maps of mine, but I don't have the appropriate software installed to do it myself. I tried using some online photo editing programs (Pixlr.com) but I can't seem to figure out how to do reskins on tiles with that site.

The two tiles I need recolored are:
Dalaran City Cliff

Dalaran Square Tile

I'd like them to have the same pinkish-red color as the picture below. The cliff walls could be whitened a little maybe as well to blend with the pink-red tile color.

It's hard to find tiles and cliffs that resemble Silvermoon, so if someone could do that for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

This is pretty easy and I would like that you learn and do it yourself.

1. Get GIMP, a free software without the need to register.
2. Open the skin in TGA format ( the BLP Labour, a tool from Hive, or the WC3 Viewer can convert BLP files)
3. Use the Tint tool to get the wished colour from another picture.
4. Open the colour board and copy/write down the colour code
5. Select the areas you would like to recolor
6. Use 'Colour Image' to colour the whole skin, adjusting the red based on the copied colour code.

Try it at least, a successful map maker does everything on his own.

Thanks for the information, Ardenian. I'd prefer to do it myself so I'll give this a try and see if it works.

Nice, it worked. Thanks!
