Icon help

This is probably in the wrong forum, but i get lost so easily :( . Ok I made an icon right? It looks pimp and everything. But it's in TGA format... so i open up my image extractor II program, and try to open the image, so that i can convert it to .blp. It won't let me open the image, it says that it has an unsupported compression something or another.... Is it my editor? And if so is there ne way for me to change the way it compresses files?

What program did you use to make the icon a .tga? What bit depth did you save it as?

or, you could just use WC3 VIEW to convert. it converts almost anything to blp- but use targa so that there aren't black spaces showing up on the model you are trying to skin.

Convert a BMP to BLP using WC3 VIEW to see what i mean about the black spaces.

Hope that helps.

I used Paint shop pro 8.10 to make it, and i dunno what bit i saved it has... what does it have to be? or where can i get WC viewer or w/e?

VIEW is in the downloads section. if its nit there then i have no clue where i got it.
as for the bit depth, i have no clue, i used a trial version af jasc to do my skins.

THanks alot, i'll try that :)

wait... it won't even let me open the file... in wc3 veiw..... :(

well then i dont know what to do. sorry.

I can't open ne thing but .mdx or .blp in the viewer... :(

THANK u so much , I had to open it in Irfan, then i saved it again, then opened in wc3 image extractor II then saved as blp Thanks for all the help~~!!!

u didn't see that "convert" tab on the toolbar in VIEW?
