[Question] Custom BLP's not working?

[Randie]

I'm having problems editing some BLP files, I extracted them from MWCS, converted to TGA, Edited in photoshop, converted back to blp and putted them into a .MPQ file with the right treepath. But when I try to look at the blp I made in MWCS it's just a black screen, the pic isn't there, and it doesn't work in WoW either.. Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix?

Thanks in advance!

Give me the TGA, and I will fix it for you. It's probably something you mesed up with the Alpha Layer...

edit; Better yet, give me the MPQ you created, AND the file you edited.

Made it with drag&drop or with the options? (Which convertor?)
And there is your .blp RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting (without transparency)
Worked in MWCS

--- Tried it with the TgaToBlp convertor, can't convert it.

Drag n' drop, but I didn't use the BLP -> PNG converter cuz PNG is pretty low qual, I used BLP to TGA.. And there's no options in that converter..

Where did you find the file?! O_O;; I can't fix it for you.. If I can't find the original.

I found the problem, but to ensure it gets fixed properly, I will need to have the original texture...

You will have to pick the best one out, I think it will be the MixedEdit.. but, if you prefer your own, that will be okay too.

Just repack it, and rename it, don't do anything.. and stop using TGA. Your texture was lower quality then that of Blizzard, go use BLPconverter.

Well thanks for your help mate, but I fixed it my self

EDIT: your version are ten times better than mine, how are you doing it so well? When I made mine I made it with the Saturation things and such, but yours is pro tbh.. :P Can you tell me? :>

I have some questions here..

1: How did you fix the no-pic-in-MWCS thing?
2: How did you make your .blp so well (Like I said above)? What tools do you use? :P
3: Why use PNG instead of TGA? I know my texture was low qual, but the PNG always goes like transparent, how do you fix that?

[Sylcai]

Fixed the Alpha Layering (The transperansy level on a PNG)
I use Paint Shop Pro XI. And BLPconverter
You can set your program like so, that instead of showing the transperancy as the PNG standard, that it will place it as an Alpha Layer. and the TGA to BLP converter, is very losy, so, it turns it into blocks, and ugly-ness. this doesn't happen with BLPconverter

Sadly, I can't tell you what, and how I do it. But I can tell you that you are the third person that asked this ^-^

I'll try to make a guide.. some day
