Greetings,

I'm trying to downport retail nude skins from Darknest to 3.3.5 with usage of the HD skin .MPQ that I downlaoded from this site.  I end up with green bodies on my characters.  Would someone more experienced with downporting take a look at my MPQ files from Darknest and see what I'm doing wrong?  Thanks!

My data folder is here, patch-Z contains the files from Darknest:  http://www.mediafire.com/file/y0u2d9961he7m8q/Data.rar

use BLPConvertor from my repo and run on skin textures this cmd script

https://www.wowmodding.net/files/file/24.../?do=embed

@echo off

Title Converting BLP To PNG
for /R %%i in (*.blp) do BLPConverter8.exe "%%i"

Title Deleting BLP
FOR /R %%A IN (*.blp) DO DEL "%%A"

Title Converting PNG To BLP
for /R %%i in (*.png) do BLPConverter8.exe -h "%%i"

Title Deleting PNG
FOR /R %%A IN (*.png) DO DEL "%%A"

timeout 3

once your textures are in correct format you also need proper HD models those you linked are not even for LK so either downport them or take someone elses Hd models such as leviathans and repalce nude textures

I guess i got them in the right format, because now i experience crashes.

Can you post the link for leviathans models?

Found Leviathans models, but they are WoD.  I believe the WoD models won't work with the skins from Darknest, as they're 8.x.  Suppose I'll need to downport if that's even possible

Ok, I think I can help with this one. First you need WoD character models for 3.3.5. They are the same models used in BFA. Next use photoshop script from downloads part of this site, that converts skin textures to 3.3.5 layout.  Save them in correct blp format (indexed). Then create transparent .blp for underwear, name them accordingly and make sure they are also in an indexed format  with an alpha channel. Then you're done, build an mpq file and you are ready to go.

P.S: also make sure to remove "HD" from texure names.

Thank you for the advice, however I'm still turning up green skinned characters.

All green skin issues, as far as I understand are connected with wrong blp format. Try this patch for Night Elf females for test. It is fully working. If it DOES work for you then  it's file format problem. If it doesn't then there is something else.
