i made a skin of a ghoul and i gave him a t-shirt in red and changed him a bit
i didnt change the team colour.
in wc3 vieuwer it all looks good. but when i import only the team colour and the shirt shows up. the rest is invisible.
and in a blue team the shirt becomes blue like team colour.

It has happened to me too. The same exact bug...twice, with a peasant and a demon hunter. (The hero glow is also visible for the dh).

On both those skin, i didnt edit a single pixel in the alpha channel...

I wonder if this has anything to do with the number of colors the blp files can contain, cuz all i did is recolor the skin a little.(Err... sounds like noob theory...)

Now if someone sees what the problem is, plz tell us and u'll make me the happiest guy... its so frustrating when you work on a skin for hours and then you can 't see it in game !!! thx in advance.

I too am having that same problem with the demon hunter.. Im not sure of the solution but maybe it has something to do with the file saving and and importing?...

I think we will find the answer in you're software ;)
What program do you use ?
If you use a version of photoshop, older than 6, then i'm not toosure about they support Alpha channels.
If you use Photoshop 7.0, you will need a plug-in for .tga files, that allows alpha channels.
If you use any other program, then i dunno atm

Ok, i found out something that made it work... sounds a bit like magic cuz i really don't understand it. probably a bug with that tga plugin.

Here is the thing : Open your skin in photoshop, go to the alpha channel layer, edit a little dot on an empty space of that skin... and done (!). it now works perfectly for me...
