Help - Image Extractor II

Ok i downloaded Warcraft 3 viewer opened up peon, and converted it to a .tga, then i edited it in Photoshop 7 to make it's color blue. Then i saved it in the directory War3/units/orcs/peon as a .tga / 32bit/ i did not compress (RDL) the image.

Now when i downloaded Warcraft 3 Image Extractor 2 it says in the helpme. that needed, storm.dll, ijl15.dll and visual basic dll files. I have Storm.dll, ijl15.dll, but i cannot find visual basic dll files, does anyone know where i can download the dll files.

info: i'm running on Windows XP, i have Frozen Throne 1.11

After i have Image Extractor 2 working for me can some one point me to some tutorial(s) that could help me further?

I have checked out alot of the tutorials and they never talk about how to actually get Image Extractor 2 working.

Get the Visual Basic Runtime files from Microsoft.com

(I pity those who don't already have Visual Basic)

Oh you're mistaken. W3V does NOT need any more files in order to work other then the ones in the zip.

Uh, what tutorial are you using? That's a pretty screwed up method. Just use War3 Viewer to convert it back to a blp.

W3V works, it works great but Warcraft Image Extractor 2 when ever i try to run it (without Visual Basic .dll files) it gives me:
"Component 'Mscomctl.ocx' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

Also do you know what specific .dll files i need to run Image Extractor 2, or do i need to just download the Image Extractor 6.0 into the same directory as Warcraft Image Extractor 2?

Whats a better method Masterslowpoke? I find that some of the tutorials conflict with each other. I do convert the skins back to .blp once i have edited them, but when i view them Warcraft 3 Viewer they just look like a skin mesh, there is no unit wrapped in the skin.

Maybe you or some one else could help me?

The best method is to use War3Viewer to convert the skin, editing it, then converting it back to a blp using War3viewer and then looking at it in War3Viewer.

sorrymasterslowpoke, I can convert my edited skins back to blp in the warcraft 3 viewer however i cannot convert to MDX, how do i put my skin onto the unit model and put it into the map?

MDX - model
BLP - skin

You just need to create a folder path inside W3 dir like the one u got the skin from (e.g. Textures\, so you must creat a Textures folder inside w3 dir), and then put the blp there and load the model in the treeview. It'll load the custom skin file.
