ghostofterror	I need help. I downloaded a skin. I want to put it in my map. I used the path and tested the map. the unit is now invisible. i tried using just a random name and making the the unit's model attribute point to it. still invisible. how can i fix this? i have opengl mode with 1024x768x16. please help. thanks, ghost

maybe you imported it on the wrong model. either that or the original skin's alpha channel was screwed up.

Gar'nogal	hi, your problem could come from the alpha channel : when you forget to save it, the skin become invisible convert the blp to tga (or bmp), and look if there is an alpha channel if not, just create one ;) if there is one, well... I don't know :P
