[Question] WoWImage problems with shoulders

[Talix]

I'm trying to edit the T3 shoulders for warriors, and it works fine to extract with MWS and repack with Ladik's MPQ editor. What doesn't work is using the WoWimage blp->png->blp converter. When I do that and repack, my shoulders are ok when you zoom up close, but darkens when I zoom out (and it darkens in a weird way as well). It also behaves in a weird way even when zoomed it, but it doesn't bother me as much.

As you can see, my helm edit worked well, unlike my shoulder edit.

I first thought I did something wrong with the coloring, so I tried to do it with original file and just repack it with Ladik's without making it a PNG and converting back. Then it was ok. But then I tried to convert the original to PNG and convert it back without editing it again, and I get this:

(help would be greatly appreciated). Maybe I sohuld try another BLP converter program. Does anyone know of one that works better?

I had this problem when I didn't delete the background layer of a texture. I suggest deleting any unnecesary tex's.

The helm looks real good btw

You mean as in making all the texture that's not visible transparent? Or another file I should look for?

*EDIT* I did them transparent, and it turned out great. Thanks!

oh, and thanks, I'm planning on making an entire golden Dreadnaught set.
