Modding the Super Battle Droid

Ok, I know it has Alpha Channels, and learned, generally speaking, how to use alpha channels on Photoshop. But thus far still have had no success at modifying the Super Battle Droid. Does anyone know the secret to modding that skin? Instructions anywhere for it?
I tried to follow these GIMP instructions, (http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=21268) but they didn't help with the Super battle Droid. So I'm stumped at this point. Anyone know how?

There's another skin called sbdroid_b or something that has no alpha.

Perhaps you weren't following the instructions carefully enough? There's nothing unique nor are there any "secrets" about the way the SBD texture's alpha layer was set up. Just like all the other SWBF1/2 textures with alpha layers. Just read the instructions again or try the video tutorial also found in the FAQ thread.

Well, I downloaded GIMP and followed the instructions step-by-step, but when I munged there was no effect at all.
I'll try again, but I did follow them carefully.
.. I'll try again!
If that fails, I'll try using that other skin, and see if that has any effect.
Thanks for the reply, to both of you.
