Hmm...Thanks to riben...for the tutorial of Alpha channel.
But i had a problem in HumanTile04.blp and 1. check this out

The problem on the left is because WC3 "splits" the HumanTile01.blp at a certain point. There's nothing you can do about that besides correcting the texture yourself so the bottom part does not go above this "splitting" line.

As for the HumanTile04.blp, resize it to 512x512 and reimport it. WC3 will automatically resize it back to 64x512 so it will look fine.


Damn, one of these days I should really write up a UI tutorial.

err the only real way of fixing the problem on the left is making a mask that is apllied ingame it will work fine

@Pyritie

Thanks for your help...let me try it~

@madcd

Hmm...I already fixed the masking...the problem is the kyuubi's tail step-in on interface's boundary

Can someone fix my HumanTile01?

 

[Warhunter]

I think it's impossible, if you don't get rid of the tails.

How about the minimap? there is a transparent.

UI tiles are hard to work on. There are only 2 ways to fix your problem. 1.) Redo your skin so that the tails to in a different direction. (easy) 2.) Make a new model for that piece of the UI that fits perfectly and seamlessly with the others (difficult) (impossible - at least with the tool's avaliable on THW)

Also, the minimap looks strange because your tile "skin" covers part of the region where the minimap is supposed to be and isnt fully alpha'd out.
On the right, there is another tile that is specific to that quarterinch region along the side. I forget what it is called. It is called 'HumanUITile04'. It overlaps with 'HumanUITile03'

How about the minimap? there is a transparent.

The minimap overview the interface image, basically if theres no minimap there, you will see the other part of the picture.

 

[Pyritie]

The minimap part in blizz's UI's is black, not transparent.

So... there's something wrong in Masking?
