Hmm, because the Villager (male) doesn't have any team color, you may have inverted the alpha channel somehow, making him all invisible. Try going to the original tga, and make sure the channel is not doing this. When you put it into wc3 viewer (I suggest you get this if you are a skinner), or in game, it will create an "opaque" alpha channel. You see the shadow right? I've had this happen before, althoug hwhen dealing with units that actually have team color, you only see those bright spots, and nothing else. |

Ok, first of all, download the WC3 Viewer under editing tools, or the tools forum (I'm not sure exactly where... it's easy enough though.) It features a more user-friendly way to import, export, and even look at the skins/models. It loads fast too, making it a dream for any editor. After you do that, like I said, get the tga back up in your editor. Make sure that the alpha channels are not in use (or if they are, make sure they aren't "inverted). Now, go to WC3 viewer, and use the "file > blp" command to turn it into the proper skin (double check directory). You can now see inside the viewer if it's even loading right. After you see the skin there, *then* you can worry about loading the texture into the actual game, map, etc.... *edit* Are you seeing a shadow? Also, with the new skin (blood-elf peasant), does it have team color? I'm not sure, if not, it won't show at all. Try using one with team colors, and if the problem persists, then its an importing problem. Otherwise, if you see red shoulder-pads floating in the air, it's an alpha problem... |
