This is client side only, and you cannot make it go server side.

Ok, uhm. Editing shoulders, head and weapon works great. But all the texture files fail.

I edited the colours for Judgement set and then I put them in an mpq with the right treepath and everything. But ingame it shows up as random armor pieces instead. As in my char usually gets a mix of T6 items but in the shape of judgement. And whenever I remove or re-attach an item it changes texture.

I found another guide about the texture files being indexed or something, and I checked and indeed they were under RGB and the guide said to change to indexed so I did. But it's still the same. I am 100% sure the treepath is correct, I copied from original judgement.

If someone could tell me what's wrong I'd be very happy. And I know I'm a leecher atm but if I could just get this to work I could contribute an armor and weapon custom colouring.

Not true!

You could go to the Blizz HQ. Hack into their server, and import your .blp!

So im working on An Draenei to Eredar skin.. for this roleplaying server. Problem is, while the before mentioned methods work great for most skins.. I can't get it to work for the actual body texture. I thinking it was something to do with transparencies and other related stuff..

It's not the indexed color, it's already indexed. Problem seems to be something else.



Does anyone, know how i can fix this?
