Skinning Question-Sea Lion Form

[Riboflavintx]

I've been working on a recolor for sea lion form, and after following a few guides, I cannot get them to display in game;
Here's what I do:

Open Warcraft Studio, find Sealion, copy tree path.
Create new Mpq archive, add file, paste the tree path (Creature/SeaLion/HordeSeal.blp) and add the blp of the new skin I've made.
I save the achive, but on the left hand side there's no new files.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I am going wrong? (is vista doing it? >.>)

Give me the MPQ, and I shall see what you did wrong

[Riboflavintx]

I'll get that uploaded for you,will you need or want the blp of the modified skin as well?

[Riboflavintx]

Here's the Mpq:patch-s.MPQ
to make things easier for you here is the edited blp as well: HordeSeal.blp

[Sylcai]

Well.. I see why it isn't working... Did You check patch-S.MPQ on what files are in it, AFTER you packed it?

It's an empty corupted file... Recreate it, and then test it again.

By the way, what tree-path are you using for your HordeSeal?

I can't seem to find it.

[Riboflavintx]

I'm using Creature/Sealion as the tree path, but when I create the mpq and add files there's no file directory shown. I'm going to try this on a non vista computer to see if that is a reason.

[Riboflavintx]

well, I've tried it on another computer.
I open common.mpq, copy the treepath Creature/SeaLion and then go to create a new archive.
I then add new files with the the treepath Creature/SeaLion/HordeSeal.blp.
The left hand side of the screen where the folders are displayed in the game provided mpqs remains blank. I've also tried CREATURE/SeaLion, and just pasting the treepath with out the edited blp on the end. No file directory still.

I'll fix up an MPQ file for you then.. but.. You do know there isn't a HOrdeSeal.blp in the common.MPQ right?

[Riboflavintx]

with your help and Parog's I have discovered what I am doing wrong =D

Turns out that was the problem. We forget simple things sometimes. =)
