How to edit team color when skinning?

I reskinned human farm, but team color didn't apply for that, I found out that team color doesn't show up with any skin what is imported in TFT worldeditor, even if I import orginal "house.blp" team color is not shown. I use Warcraft 3 Viewer for converting, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with that.

So how can I add teamcolor when skining, and how can chage location of the teamcolor on skin. (when I want to have farm roof teamcolor not the door).

Any help is wellcome.

Sounds like you're extracting the .blp to a flat format, such as .jpg or .bmp. You need to save it as .tga in order to maintain the alpha, which lets the team colour show through.

So it is the problem of jpg and bmp. That could be the case, since I do use thees file formats insted of tga, but it's freeken head case with tga files since I´have paint shop pro 8 what as everyone knows screws into "piiip" with alphaing. I quess I need some other program to edit alpha ****... but is there any tutorial about alpha stuff?
