How do I add Team Colors?

In my Map I'm trying to use the Flesh Golem model for a hero, but since it's normally a Neutral Hostile Unit it doesn't change team color for it's owners. This results in a black color each time. I want to make the Shoulders and helmet of the Flesh Golem reflect the color of the player, but I don't know how to edit skins to do this. I am using Paint.net to edit my skins. Please Help

As far as I know golems do have team color, what method are you using to change the owner ship / team color?

No, the flesh golem doesn´t have TC. The only way is to modify the materials of the model to support it, and import a new texture with the alpha channels modified.

Sorry, for some reason I didn't read the part about "flesh"

Since it is a hero you can just attach a hero glow model...

yeah, That would work. Unfortunetly I'm pretty noob at editing skins and whatnot. How exactly would I attatch a team color glow, or do that alpha editting majigger he said?

If you want to give the model itself teamcolour you'll need to modify both the model and the skin.

In this tutorial you can find something about alpha skinning

But since you're using the Flesh golem, wich has no teamcolour geoset, you'd also have to modify the model.

although, attaching a hero glow is much simpler. then what you need to do is find a hero glow model and attach it to the unit in the WE.

Yeah, so I feel totally completely noob asking this, but how do I attach the hero glow model in The Editor? And do you mean the basic From-the-box editor, or an Editor like the WC3 Viewer?

Read this -> http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=82286

EDIT: And they mean the World Editor (aka WE).

Yeah so I see how that would work, I've actually already done things like that, I didn't know that was the term to describe it :o

But so I'm looking for the Hero Glow model in the War3.mpq, and I can't find it :X

I don't think there are separate heroglows in the mpq's, you'll need to download it somewhere.
