Right Click on skin file (You will need a Chest, Legs, Face, Arms, and Talk Texture) > Export to PCX

Thinks hook for your help i figured it out last night and was woundering i made a char and saved him and it says (Bitmap image not valid) so what do i do it said this about another char i made 2?

It might be a corrupt bitmap. You should always convert to a .pcx file because if you don't have the bitmap programmed right it may show up in ut as this

You can use programs like photoshop and when you open the file you would make it a indexed image then save as a pcx file.

Actually this is common. .skm files rarely open again. You will get that error when trying to reopen a saved .skm file
