Two subjects , skins and map protector

First off, I am makign a siege of gondor map as my sig says, and I made a custom skin for a grunt, after I used Photoshop 7.1 to change the grunts skin into a darker more LotR orc, but when I put it i nthe map the team colors just got splattered all over thier shoulder and none of the texturing on the armor or the helmet came throug, so now my orcs have a big splat on the side of their bodies, does anyone know whats doing this, I tried everything I could think of, transparent pixels, alpha channels I looked into briefly. Also, I made a reskin of the Northrend canopy tree to be white like the white tree of gondor but when I override the ingame tree (like with any skin) only the splat and the shadow show up, but not the actual model, cant figure this out either =(
plz help, thx in advance.

Second question, I would like to protect this map after Im done, but I'm not quite sure of the security on the one I have right now, could someone point me to a secure map protector that wont mess with the map too much. again thx in advance. =)

um well for the team colors just go into object editor and change the team colors to none (if there is one) if not change it to nuetrul hostile or passive...those colors are less noticeable with darker colors

if that doesnt work i dont know

for the map protector thing i just saw about 3 threads with a secure map protector link...so all you gotta do is go shopping through the forum

HeavyLocker and ExtProtect are both good programms

Thanks for the stuff on protectors. =). As for the team color thing tried them both and neither worked =(.

Hmm if you could attach a screenshot of the problem i would be ezier to solve so i could see the problem and not just hear about it

Here ya go, its on neutral hostile for team color.

Oh I see...well my comp just got a messed up and i cant check the editor for any more fixes that i can think of so sry...all i gotta say is keep it with nuetrel cuz it doesnt look that bad or maybe take the color of the image in the editor and make the colors lower or something to make the image even darker...but i cant do anything relatated to wc3 for at least a week cuz of a virus or something


Edit:/ yay woo i got it working already..lol...ill check to see if i can think of/find any more theory fixes for ya\:Edit

Well i got it too look relitivly normal with out random blotches of color...i turned it to team color- Nuetrel Hostile and made the colors 130-130-130

I used a Knight to show not a grunt..lol i just like Knights i guess
