help on my skin

help on my skin

ok i change the skin save it covert it to TGA then to a BLP... i upload it into my map insert the correct path for that unit and add a .blp to the end of it. i save and exit WE and when i come back in either that unit will be invisble just floating team color or the changes dont show.. HELP!!!! so far ony grunt and sham working for me (and just to tell u i found about the wunderful world of skinning yesterday)

since you only began skinning yesterday (so you say, no?)
I recommend you trying to either figure it out yourself.

or check out the vast amount of tutorials.

Sounds like alpha channels

Sounds dumb but try SaveAs and save over the previous map its in, that works for me. Dont just save it.

Won't we hit our own men?
Yes, but we'll hit theirs as well.

You don't have to save WE then quit and get back into it, you just import the skin then change the path and test the map and then see if it works. Thats how I see if my skins work.

So the unit has no details on it, some green block or invisible parts? I think you are importing a model if it turns out as a green block

re

no it doesnt turn green its a skin its just a floating blob of team color or cape... and i have no idea why for me only grunt and grom works its really making me mad

Ok. If you try screwing with alpha channels is APS, by deleting the selection, what happens is there is like an alpha channel whereever alpha was not, thus inducing trnasparency. You might want to fix those channels
