[Archive] Legion armor texture not working
[Archive] Legion armor texture not working
Original source
Hey!
I tried to get some armor from legion, just the textures (none of those fancy 3d things), which seems like a very simple task at first. However, the following textures keep showing up as fully green when I equip them on my character:
item/texturecomponents/armlowertexture/mail_raidhuntermythic_s_01_mythicgreen_bracer_al_u.blp
item/texturecomponents/torsolowertexture/mail_raidhuntermythic_s_01_mythicgreen_belt_tl_u.blp
I tried renaming (e.g. changing the U to M), tried extracting and re-creating the BLP - nothing helps.

Character textures in WotLK must be in indexed format, otherwise they look green.
Use this code when converting your blp files and it will fix your problem:
BLPConverter.exe /FBLP_PAL_A8 "file.blp"
Example of .bat file:
@echo off
for %%i in (*.png) do BLPConverter.exe /FBLP_PAL_A8 "%%i"
pause
Otherwise, do it manually with photoshop (Image->Mode->Indexed Color) and convert it back to BLP.
Or use BLiPster with the character texture option.

For GIMP users such as myself, you can also do Image->Mode->Indexed...
(although it does something to transparency, where edges that are supposed to become transparent gradually are cut sharply)

Also, am I supposed to use that code on the original blp from Legion, or convert it to png first?

Could you suggest another tool?
People suggest me to use BliPster, but it crashes all the time.
