[Archive] Weird blp problem

The 2 shields are using the same m2, the blp have the same header, size, format. But one isn't right, knowing too few about blp I can't figure out what is causing this.

I've noticed that replacing the first mipmap of the blue blp by one from the other fix the display, even a part of the mipmap can make it look good ingame (with blue and red effect in that case).

It's really the only one weapon where I've got this, and I think that knowing what's the difference between the two blps might allow us to fix some others that render the same way.

Does anyone know anything about this ?

Here are the blps : shield_1h_artifactnorgannon_d_02blue.blp and shield_1h_artifactnorgannon_d_02red.blp

Hi folks !

I've noticed something strange with a particular blp for a legion shield, one of the color (the blue) does not render correctly but all the others are ok as you can see with this screenshot :

Try to reconvert with BLPlap and check if it has similar content in it. Something that would blend.

I tried and it did nothing, as I said the files are really similar. The difference is within the mipmaps but I don't know what's different [Image: unsure.png]

Try BLP plugin for Photoshop. It is the only tool that works 100% properly with the file format.

What I would like is to understand the problem to be able to fix it easily on other blps, I tried changing the color on the red one and putting it for the blue shield but it's not really practical.
