The Simple to the point Question
I changed the color to 6 BLP files and imported the replaced textures into my map and all work fine but one WHY

A little bit more info
Ok i have Warcraft 3 Viewer which allows me to export and convert a BLP to an image format (BMP JPG TGA)

I have altered the Colors for these files for War3

HumanUITile01.blp
HumanUITile02.blp
HumanUITile03.blp
HumanUITile04.blp
HumanUITile-InventoryCover.blp
HumanUIPortraitMask.blp

All file imported fine EXCEPT HumanUITile04.blp. That for some resaon does not show ingame. I can load the BLP with warcraft 3 viewer and it renders it fine. I deleted the imported file from the map and reimported it and still nothing. So i Exported the original again and altered it again and still nothing.
Heres a Screenie

Hidden information:

So Im wondering whats going on since all the other files render fine in game and work fine.

Thx

I dont think its an ALPHA color porblem only because...

Well to be honest all i am doing is using Warcraft 3 Viewer to export the original BLPs to JPG and then i turn right around and use the Viewer to convert the JPG back to BLP. The conversion to a JPG image changes the red tent on the bottom of the images to blue and i like the blue better

The Original size of the image is the same after the converstion but since you said

So Thx and plz forgive me for stating you were wrong :)

Rao Dao Zao	It's not an MDL editing issue, that's for sure. I've edited UI tiles before and never had this problem; but I have reason to believe it's got something to do with alpha channels.

It probably has a corrupt alpha channel. when you change somethings skin theres a chance you ould corrupt the alph channel. when you change the .blp to something like a skin and it has a corrupt alpha channel you are left with a red blob but since theres no team color theres nothing to turn into a red blob its invisible try resaving the original .tga or .bmp and then repeat the entire process that you already went thrue

jigrael	Not really sure because I dont remember well, I edited one UI a long time ago, but one of the UI needed to be changed in size, for example if it was 64512 then it should be changed to 128512 to work. Should work, and you better try it XD
