Changing Colour of Warglaives

[Ruqas]

I have MyWarCraftStudio and Glitchy's MES as well as Kynox's latest model edit fix. How do I go about it?

[Forever]

Extract the .blp with MWCS and open it with any program such as Paint, Photoshop.

[Daud]

U need a program for convert the blp to a normal form if u want open it with paint or photoshop:

Use BLP_Converter. BLPConverter_5.zip - FileFront.com

[Ruqas]

Well, that's a little bit confusing. One of you says no blp converter needed and the other says to use one. However, if I do need to convert it, how do I convert it back into a blp? Also, how do I convert blp back into m2 and get it into a mpq?

[Chrommie]

there's a PNG converter too. and u pack them to a MPQ via MWCS

[Ruqas]

Ok. Makes sense, although I think MES can pack stuff into an mpq too. I also got a little confused. I don't just want to change the glow; I want to change the sword as well. Because: won't the green show under the new glow. Or am I missing something. Is tehre a texture blp too. Crap, now I'm super confused. Please help!

If anyone would give me a step-by-step, I would be obliged to give them rep. I know many of you who would don't really care for the rep, so I am just mentioning.

i made a blue one some time ago. u want that one Ruqas?

[Ruqas]

Well, ummm, if it still works, yeah. But I would also like to know how to make my own. I kind of just went through the process of installing my Photoshop, so I am psyched for both teh blue version and I want to make an orange version of my own.

Ok, so far, I have converted the GLAVE_1H_DUALBLADE_D_02EFFECT.blp into .png format. Then I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and edited the colour. Afterwards, I converted it back into a .blp. Finally, I created a new .mpq file and placed the edited .blp into it. Have I done something wrong or can I save it and go? Do I have to remove the old .blp from patch.mpq?

Btw, Nartan, I found your blue warglaives. Not my taste.

I have an even bigger problem now. I used MES's Item MPQ Creator to combine the m2 and blp and swap it with the warglaive original. However, it just gives me an error called invalid parameter every time. I am so pissed now >_<

Finally, I got the .mpq to save, but when I load WoW, there is no difference in their colour.

Here is the .mpq: patch-g.mpq - FileFront.com

Please help me to find my mistake!

[Ruqas]

wtf, did Glitchy combine all of my last posts into some other guy's post? Ummm, I wish I could read what that guy had to say =S

Edit: WOW! I am super proud of myself. It took me ****ing forever, but it was so worth it!!! They look awesome. Check them out: ImageShack - Hosting :: wowscrnshot071308201118bi7.jpg
