That's a problem I often have. What I do is either change the converter (I use sometimes wc3viewer and sometimes Wc3_Image_Extractor_II. Another solution is to select all the edited parts of the skin except the very border, and to paste them on the original (unedited) skin. You're never sure that a method will work.
(I really don't know why this bug happens, sometimes a skin is really easy to edit and sometimes it can be hell (like the one I edited this very afternoon).)
How I helped a little.

Once its a mdl file you just need to open it up in notepad or wordpad, you don't need to convert it to a txt file.

Moreover, I can certify you that if you are editing the skin of a model without changing the model, then if the skin is invisible in the editor (only teamcolor visible), then it can only be a problem with the skin, not the model.

technically, yes, and no.

i believ it is accually part of the model, because this only happens in te places that there was team color already.

it is either changeble in .mdl OR it was put into the model in some way, so i would have to edit that.
