Ah. Yes, that is the reason. Thank you. I will need to find my copy of the Frozen Throne then.

It is still possible, but it deals with .SLK files. Anyway, no problem. Good luck finding it, it is definitely worth it to have the Frozen Throne editor.

Hey

I don't know if this is already asked, but when I made my skin with Paint Shop Pro when I put it into World Editor the unit was invisible, why?

I just mainly changed the colors of the unit. Then I changed it back to .blp, imported it into World Editor, put it to a unit and when I went in-game the units with the skin I just made was invisible.

Can anybody please help me with this?

Save the map, close and reopen you world editor.

 

[Teurastaja]

No, that doesn't help.

This is different kind of problem. If I try to put the unit in World Editor it says "Couldn't load file: units\orcs\heroblademaster\heroblademaster.mdl". And I am still able to put the unit there but instead of my skin there's just big black-green box and when I go into the game I only see the unit's shadow and I can't select it.

Nobody can help?

Sorry for double-posting so much, but I would really like to solve this problem.

Did you correctly save the alpha channels?

 

[Teurastaja]

Alpha channels?

You can find even better ones, if you wish or can.

In the quoted sentence you have a comma in the wrong place.

"You can find even better ones if you wish, or can." <--- would be more appropriate. Although the sentence doesn't technically need a comma at all.

Please, feel free to correct me if I am wrong. My grammar is not perfect either I was simply skimming this tutorial and saw the request to correct grammar then spotted the quote above right below. I assume that was because the author would like to better write in English even though they already likely write better than myself. As I've made past attempts to learn a second language I certainly understand asking native speakers for input and that is my only intention here so before any flames start shooting from faces and places -- hey that rhymes -- remember to take it for what it is, I'm just trying to help and its late... gah sleep.

I duplicated the layer. Select all the unwanted ares on the coloured skin layer using pen or polygonal lasso tool and erase them."
