AHHHH! frakin item icon importing driving me crazy!!

Ok ive made this custom icons (64x64) and with W3M Map Utilities change it to .BLP

i import the icon into the map and assigned it to the item, but when I test it only a trasparent square appears instead of the icon (its not the green square, its like there was no icon but the item is there) HELPPPP!!!! AHHHH!!!

Step by step plz heh... ive tryed a lot of things but get the same result....

Remember to save it as tga, 32 bit, or it will get screwy... I'm having some problems with icons too, but it isn't regarding this :P

Yeah. It sounds like your icon doens't have an alpha channel. All images for Warcraft 3 must have alpha channels.

Hmmm ic, let me try that...

Hmmm ok still not working, but i made a test and the problem is in fact the icon.... not the way im importing it, any help? heres what I did:

1. Made the icon using fireworks. (64x64)
2.save as .gif
3. Use W3M Map Utilities to change into .blp or .tga (both ways it wont work)

nway, I think the problem is with W3M Map Utilities .... since fireworks wont let me save as tga directly I cant use Wc3 Image extractor...

So, Is there any free program that lets me change .pgn or .gif, .jpg etc into .tga other than photoshop?

Wat nvm found one on downloads.com :D it works but the icon is upside down? wtf!? HELP!

Edit: nvm, this program lets me rotate it, thx guys... you can close this now

can u post the link for it??

plz

Its called xnview very nice program so far...
