Skin Conversion Problems .tga-.blp

I am trying to make an Undead Ilidan Skin and i used the regular Ilidan Skin and changed it to look like a frozen Corpsy look. I used Paint Shop Pro for this and exported it as a .tga image and hit options at the save screen and chose "24 bit" and "uncompressed" and then saved it and when i put in in Image Extractor to change it to a .blp it gives me an error message saying unknown Compression type. So i try "compressed" and the same message. THen when i finaly get it to work and i extract it then check it and it is completly blue... Can anyone help me out?

You have to save your .TGA at 32-bit.

24 worked but were you messing with the alpha channels or layers? That also means selecting a portion of the skin and moving it etc.

Never touched the Alpha channels. Just changed the colors with a color swap thing in Pait Shop Pro and added some extra stuff on it.

Paint Shop Pro MAY only be able to convert with Image Extractor II (in the tools downloads)

Thats where i'm having the problem Image Extractor II wont convert it for me and is giving me the error. I'll attach the file and you can see whats wrong with it.

Ok let's make it clear:
If you use Photoshop, save as 32bits uncompressed.

If you use Paint Shop Pro, save as 24bit uncompressed.

In both cases I would say use Warcraft III Viewer instead, it's more trustworthy and works with both TFT and RoC skins, as well as on PSP8.

That is Moacyr, the elephant man. You can see more pics of him here and here here. That's just to break the 'evil' feeling about me, and make people stop complaining about my avatars.
