importing skin

ok i made my skin and i am using wc3 immage extrator 2 to import it but when i load the image it says error and so it sys same thing with other skins i made is there EN other programs where i can change it back to .blp

please read the tutorials... almost every aspect of skinning is covered there...

You cant import skins with Image Extractor. That program is good for getting the BLP's converting them to TGA, and the converting them back when you are done. To import the skin you need one of the implementation tools or Frozen Throne's new World Editor.

i read all the tutorials and i ment by importing in as importing it back to a .blp so i can play my new skin. but when i open my new skin in image extroctor it says error(when i got to convert it back to a .blp)

What`s the error message so we can help you?

the message says sumthing like uncompressed file... yoda_24 says u have to save it as a 32bit or somthing? but it has to be somthing with opening my edited skin cause if i open a regular skin(not edited) its fine so i guess its somthing to do with the saving or my skin itself...

When you save the TGA after editing it, you need to make it uncompressed. If you're in Paint Shop Pro, there's an options button you need to press. If you use Photoshop, it will ask you.

in paintshop pro it can only go up to 24bit and i hit options and pressed unsuport and try it again and still says same thing

and when i open it up in photoshop and save it it lets me select 32bit then it says at the bottom compress(RLE)

uhhhh ok. i think i got it to work and i made a units folder like yoda said... and i have my .tga and my.blp of my skin... yoda said u have to have the original skin in there too? is that true? if so wouldnt it overlap with the custom skin?

No, you don't need the origional and the edited blp in the same folder.

ok great! oh shit now i got this runtime error when i select quality and it says 75( on wc3 immage extrator2) then it shuts down i sent my skin to a freind and he did it for me and it worked for him... he said i might need a runtime somthing???

You need the Visual Basic Runtime files to use it.
