converting to blp

Mods: please do not move this over to the skinning and texturing forum, i am trying to get feedback on my skins also.

I am having promblems converting images to .blp format. I have tried both the WC3 Viewer and Image Extractor but both are giving me error messages when i try to convert skins to .blp format. The Extractor just quits and the Viewer says that the file is not a valid 32 bit image. Do i need to save the skins as 32-bit? i cant find a program on my computer that will let me do this. Help please.:bgrun:


Anyway i will post the texture cards i am trying to convert. They are my first skins so they dont look real great, but its a start.:gsmile:

This is a simple skin. I used the armor technique from the amor tutorial and a simple filter for the orange glow. I need suggestions for improvement.

and another skin:
Tauren with armor.

Yes, it has to be 32 bit format. Photoshop and Paintshop 7 both do this.

Make sure that you don't compress the skins and also that you don't make more than one alpha layer.

when(and if) u do get ur problem fixed, can u show us some ingame screens? i didnt even take the time to look at ur skins.

Im having the same problems, I can save in 32 bit because i am using psp 8, is there any way to still convert it?

In psp 8 you can't get skins to work right. No matter what, it screws up the alpha channels.

Use PSP 7 or photshop. Don't bother with anything else......

dammit my psp 7 demo is out. Is there anywhere you can dl a trial of photoshop

If not, **** this im going just spell editing

i hear u can cheat the PSP demo timer by turning some clock somewhere backwards...

Okay dont worry i got my psp 7 all worked out now
