Tornado edit- need help.

I've been trying to edit a tornado skill, It's been pretty succesfull, after like 2 hours I succeed in editing the nado itself and got a disco (kinda shitty) effect, nothing happens untill I start editing file 4.dds, heres what happens:

Here's the original mesh of 4.dds

Here's the mesh after I edit it

and here are my save settings

Here's the tornado before my edit:

and here's the tornado after my edit:

As You can see I've tried once more as the colors from video and mesh are different, although I did nothing that I haven't done before, is there anybody whos got an idea why is this huge circle out there? I dont even know which circle in the mesh it is as it doesn't matter what I edit the circle just appears.

The original tornado was made by SirMagus, I've used it as a base to my edit.
I don't care if the edit suck, I just want to learn the proper way of editing it.

I've finally fixed it by myself, I'll post it here as a new reply so anybody searching for this fix will know how to do it.

Step1: Download DDS Converter (I used [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...])

Step2: Delete the background of Your file (google will help You)

Step3: Save the file as PNG, not DDS! Save it elsewhere, preferably desktop so it's easy to find.

Step4: Convert the PNG file to DDS with Your converter, You nado has no background now! (PS. It looks like theres black background but it's not, it's transparents in-game.
