help plz

i made a skin and applied it but when i get in game all i c is a shadow :(


i am able to control the units though

A shadow? You forgot to add an opaque alpha channel to the skin. Without one, the models using the skin are invisible.

opaque alpha channel explain how to do this plz

Well, save the skin file as .jpg. Use Warcraft 3 Viewer to convert to .blp.

Go to convert, jpg to .blp and convert, it'll ask you if you want to add an opaque alpha channel, click yes. Or ues photoshop to add a new channel, set it to an alpha channel and paint it solid white.

thesse r wht the black knight should look like but i end up with the normal DK model in game

After you import it, you have to change the custom filepath to be exactly like the original DK model, so it will replace it in your map.

thnx for the help hex i think i got it

okay i did exactly wht u said and it looks like the normal DK still wht am i doing wrong can u give me a step by step of wht i should do including exactly wht i should import.

Stop using JPG format. Use TGA, it preserves more quality when the level is reduced in Image Viewer. Also, export the skin in 32-bit compression level in your image editor.

Flatten the layers, export as TGA, choose compression level as 32-bit.

that doesnt help me at all

i have been trying everything suggested and its stilll not working if some1 can lead me to a step by step of trouble shooting i would be very happy
