hey, i wanted to make the lightning effect(cinematic doodad) green colored instead of blue. I used the WC3 Image Viewer and extracted the two .BLP files called "Lightning4b.blp" and "HitBase.blp" and converted them into .tga's. Then, i opened up Microsoft Picture It Photoshop 7.0 and changed the blue color to green. When i implemented them back into the war3.mpq file(using WinMPQ), it overwrote them by accident. Then, when i went into world editor to check out how it looked, the program froze every time i tried to place one. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???

I have 2 tips for ya!

1. Re-install WC3.

2. Never, never, NEVER put anything into or back into the war3.mpq. Create a copy of the patch.mpq if you have to but don't ever do that again.

:D

No problem. Ya know, most files can just be imported into the actual maps so you don't mess up all of wc3. If you resave the maps later, all imported files will disappear and you'll have to re-import them.
