Do you see flying colored blocks as well? This sounds like alpha channel problem or messed up skin. |

hmm i was only seeing the hero glow..but now i made a new skin (deleted cuz i only made the dreadlord black and some red wings) i think it was alpha channels im not sure...but the only thing we could see was hero glow.. |

Hmmm i tried something similar with a DH skin. All i did was to make his chest green to see if I could import corrctly. So, when i saw the skin ingame, it was just the Team glow and his Wrists i think it was. I dont even know how to mess with the alpha-channels, so i dont think its that is the problem. |

Don't be so sure. If the program you use doesn't support alpha channels he simply deletes them. |

I use Adobe Photoshop 7.0 |

when you load on new skins and icons ad stuff on you map... if you open it in world editor and save it there. it will delete everythig loaded onto the map - skins and all. |

Or theres a possiblity that ur war3 is screwed up. Cuz when I played war3 at my uncles house, all of the things were scrwed up, only could see parts of them, they were flashing and all. |

It may be a problem with Photoshop. Somewhen I had such a problem. As I can remember, if you use layers in photoshop and then press 'flatten image' the alpha channel gets f@cked up. You should choose 'Layer\Merge down' (while the UPPER layer is active). If it's not this problem, then I dunno. emote_confused |

I think my problem is the layers or my program being incombatible with alpha-channels. VoodooO: I only use 1 layer (the existing 1) should i then create a new layer and then merge these 2emote_confused |

No, it's not necessary. :gsmile: |

Your war3 is NOT messed, and your skins are NOT messed!!!! The new warcraft viewer exports corrupt blps. Me, my friend, and many other people who use it notice this bug. I reccomend using the image extractor. If this isnt the answer, i donno what to do |

Ah..so has everyone experienced this viewer error or what? Because this is the only place that told me what's wrong with that viewer ;( Wonder if it just doesn't work well with something. |

I checked it and yes it is exporting corrupted BLPs for some people don't know why (works fine for me and some other people). We are going to remake the function's code to be sure it's all working. Until Saturday (sorry, but TheProphet is on campus over the week, and can only program on weekends) you'll have to use Image extractor 2 if the skin is getting messed up. Sorry for the inconvenience, and stay sure that we'll release a new version ASAP to fix this and include some more features. |

Ok guys 1. I did´nt know the Viewer "bug":foot: 2. in the meantime i have discovered something that could be the reason for my invis skin. When i save any file in PhotoShop 7.0 i have a few options (like save with Alpha-channels) but, i cant do this with .TGA or .BMP. So, at the moment i´m searcing through all of PhotoShop for some File Options. Does any of all u Experts out there know how i can solve this ? :bgrun: |
