thx in advance for any assictance

Hey I believe you need to use paintshop pro im not sure, but I have the same problem because I used Microsoft Picture It Express. For some reason if I edit it in that prgram it comes up looking like a red cape like you said. So try using paintshop pro you can download it free for 30day trial anywhere or (kazza ) cough....... You didn't hear that from me. Well this might not work, but I tried to help.

:ggani: Sry here is the pic I tried to add.

You need to save it in 32 bit tga format. Then use image extractor 2 to convert it to .blp format.

ok i did that with th 32bit and changed it to a blp but it came as a red cape and hood but on another model i used the same thing as well but didnt get rid of the alpha channels and it was fine, also does ne on know how to get rid of the colors that go red for player 1 blue for player 2 ect...

:ggani: Hey yoda maybe he needs to save it as a 24bit becuase that is what I have been told. He should try that. If that doesn't work you should go here It is a link to editing the alpha channels in paintshop and photoshop.:ggani:

i need help getting my skin on a model... i uploaded it and gave it the right custom path... but when i put it on a model and tried to put it on the map it couldn't load it... please help:infth:
