Conversion Trouble

i can't open my .tga file with image extractor II

here is what i did

1)opened image extractor II
2)saved the peasent malitia blp as a tga
3)opened paint shop pro 9
4)skinned it
5)saved as a .tga
6)closed paint shop pro
7)tried opening the .tga file and got the message

The file C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Units\Human\PeasantMilitia2.tga has an unsupported compression


what do i do?

this is what happens when you have psp8. its something to do with the compression of the tga file, when you save it in psp.

i think it saves it as 24bit or something and skips the alpha.

my suggestion is that you get adobe photoshop CS or 7+

i've used all my trials :( lol i'm stuck with this i set it to uncompressed and now it opens in Image Extractor but it's purple and everything... is this the way it'll look in the game?

check ur pm

you're my hero!

btw; USE wc3viewer for photoshop cs its better.

this is the updated 2.3c version.

Wierd... i have had the exactly same problem in GIMP... Dunno why it happens, but sometimes it just does!

it's the pixels but paintshop doesn't allow me to make it 32 :(

ya thats why everyone is better off with photoshop,
it allows you too do more things and it has a great layout.,

I'm having a problem also with conversion, I opened the Thrall skin in PSP 7, made my changes [which were pretty crap btw, as I'm neither a pr0 at skinning or PSP], saved the skin as a .tga and then closed PSP.

Next, I opened up WC3M Utilities, went under the tag Etc., opened BLP converter. I found my .tga and chose to save it as Thrall.blp. Each time I've tried, all i've got it 'Conversion is failed' which is annoying enough as it is, but being such crap english makes it even more aggravating.

Is there a better program to do conversions? m I doing something wrong along the line?

no you'll find its paint shop pro. i had paintshop pro before and it was useless too me. i use too use photoshop 7 but ow i use PS CS 8.0 (which is 1 step up) i have no problems whatsoever with it.

Erm, that doesn't really answer my question though, because getting photoshop is not an option.

try using different converters... my only suggestion
