When i try to save to "BLizzard image maP" I get this error below. :bangH:

Run-time error '48':

File Not found: ijl15.dll

Do i need to save it as BLizzard image maP or can i go to supported images because that works. :abomHUH?:
-thx again

The problem is that that file, which is in your warcraft 3 folder isn't in also in the same folder as Image extracter. I personally keep image extractor in my warcraft 3 folder.

Or just copy the file from W3 dir to IMGXtractor2 folder, or get Warcraft III Viewer on downloads section.

Thanks i got the skin to go in the game but now something is wrong with the skin. The Headhunter is 100% red now. What color level am I supposed to save it at? I did the exact steps as slowpokes tutorial. :bangH:

You messed up the alpha channels. You need to save it as a 24 bit. You need to save it with as 24 bit, uncompressed. I'll write a tutorial about repairing the alpha channels right now.

yay it works!!! but now how do you get team colors to work... :bangH: Something with transparency right? Im using adobe photoshop 7.0 how do you make them transparent?? :saddened:
Thanks again

[edit] It keeps coming up red again. I got it to work once. I edited a little more and i did the same exact steps to restore the alpha channels. I dont know what wrong now. Slowpoke what program are you using?

You make team color by using the Alpha Channel on a part of the skin that is mapped to an area of the model that uses team color instead of transparency.

I use Paint Shop Pro 7. I'm not entirely sure how to edit Alpha Channels in PS. You are making sure that you keep your edited file as a .TGA and not a .JPG or .BMP or anything, right?

Wait, I think I got it. You're using Photoshop 7.00, right? You need 7.01, stat!

well i got the skin to work i had to fix the layers. yes, i am using PS 7.0. i dont understand how to fix team colors though. what do you mean using alpha channels on the part of the skin?

Well, short of editing the model, there's no way you can add team color through skinning.

Also, I put a plugin for PS 7.00 on my site, it will keep you from having this problem again. It's in the "Editing Alpha Channels" tutorial, under Photoshop.
