need help on skins

how do i delete some parts on skins such as the spiles on a ghoul or a portion of a weapon?

You " delete " them by " alpha -ing " them out. PSP and Photoshop are capable of doing this function.

i know that photoshop would be able to do this but can psp? can you tell me how to alph them out on psp. bcause i got an error on photo.

Well first of all:

You should be using 7.0 or 8.0 (my suggestion)
You should export the skin via WC3 Viewer as a 32bits .tga
Go to load from alpha channel (alpha channel one) under masks.
Your colour palette on the right should turn white - grey - black colour.
Select the part you want to alpha out with the selection tool or freehand selection tool. Using a paint brush, select the DARKEST black colour on the palette and colour the part in.
Save to alpha channel and save your work. Your done.

yeah just one problem. the errror that i was talking about was that if i save it as a tga. and then edit it, then it wont load into the game.

well it needs to be saved as .tga because the rest (I think, deletes alpha channels)

okay i fixed the problem in photoshop but when i did what you said, insted of deleting certain parts, it just made them white in the wc3 viewer when i laoded the skin on the model. and im sure that i did what you said sice it did change to the black, grey and white colors.

What about those just isn't rich enuf 2 get Adobe Photoshop(cossts 4000 kr and that's a bundle, i'll tkae me 4 years 2 get that much money.

Can any other programs do this, like photopaint or that gayish stuff?

Other programs yes can do it. PSP can do it.

Uhm what programs? can photopaint do it?

MetabeeUhm what programs? can photopaint do it?

Whats photopaint? Paint can't do it.

wtf are you talking about photopaint. no such thing. do you man photoshop? because i have it its just that if i save any skins as a tga (opens up with photshop) it wont load and in the wc3 viewer it sez invalid value. and yes i did save it as a blp not a mdx.

WC3 Viewer reads .tga as remap texture skins and conversion
.blp = image type (you can't " save as .mdx " )

okay my problem is that if i edit a skin with photoshop, it wont load when i convert it to a blp. if i load that skin it sez invalid value.
