Sorry for necroing, but the attachment no longer works. Can anyone give a copy?

Ok, so I'm trying to make guild symbols (with transparent backgrounds).

The other thread solution didn't work for me (Ascathos' batch conversion and BLPLab (it cannot create WoW BLPs) so I'll ask a similar question - how do I make a transparent wow texture with BLPConverter?

I need to create an indexed png with an alpha channel but no such thing exists so I am really stuck. If I make a regular png and give it transparency it just turns it into a DXT 5 Format which does not preview in WoW. It is fully transparent.

The other textures are in Format: palette + alpha. How do I achieve this?

Attaching a few pngs if anyone want to see what they are like:

This DBC converter does not work for me. It converts the thing but it's a blank page, Error: The given key was not present in the dictionary. If you know a fix...

Either way, I can deal with modding difficulties, so I'll learn to use the dbc editor if the converter doesn't work for me. I've modded harder-to-mod games than WoW but man is WoW a mess. For example, a shoulder texture might be Robe_Shoulder_X for a priest but just Shoulder_X for a warlock... wtf? Who named these?

Well, I doubt it's from the mask because if you look at my screenshot you will see the nose sticking out and in a normal warlock tier 4 http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l216/ ... lock-d.jpg you don't. It is probably removeable but I am not very familiar on how to remove it yet and cannot find a tutorial on how to deal with item swaps (dbc style).

"And btw, about this, thats absolutely normal. Those _something are just for different race and gender combinations. You don't enter these into DBC. So, if there are models like My_Head_Hum.m2 and My_Head_Huf.m2, enter only My_Head.mdx (always use extension and always just .mdx for m2 models, never m2) into DBC. Thats for head models. There's no such problem with shoulder or weapon/shield items."

No, I know it's like that (read it somewhere), but the problem with that is that I do not know which of these head IDs in the DBC to edit and to what (talking about fields 14 & 15 here). I copied the text from the void helm, but all the void helms (from tier 4) use different 14 & 15 fields and so do the ones in the argent set (the one I want to turn into a tier 4 warlock void set). So... which 14 & 15 field goes where? I don't have indicators for races and gender to know what to CnP.


And I wanted to say that your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

edit: Yes! I did it. Fixed the hands thing, thanks a lot man! Now only the nose problem remains...

edit2: Ok, that's mighty interesting. When I put the chest armor on it creates these roby sleeves (since the original had it) but how do I go about fixing this? Do I look in the TorsoUpper or TorsoLower? Or the arm textures? Sorry for throwing in so many questions and such huge walls of texts...

Hello, first post here, I hope I'm posting in the correct place.

I've been changing WOTLK tiers to Vanilla & TBC ones, using patch files and recently got into dbc editing to fix some issues I faced. I searched a lot for a tutorial on this but found nothing so I thought I'd ask, at least to get refered to such a tutorial perhaps.

First issue, the nose of the human is going through the helmet in the Void Warlock Tier 4. I am trying to paste this model on the ArgentAlliance/Horde tier 9.
Now I read about dbc editing and went on to fix this by editing the fields 14 & 15 (helmetgeosetvis), following this: https://wowdev.wiki/DB/ItemDisplayInfo but I'm not sure what exactly to edit since there are tons of argentalliance/horde head models and they all share the same name in the dbc, unlike in the mpq files, where they end with BeF, DwM and such.
Also, the helmetgeoset from the Void Warlock Tier 4 was the same as that of the ArgentAlliance/Horde, so there was nothing to change, but then again, there is a nose sticking out.
I'm actually really confused since everything is thrown around everywhere in the dbc and can't even explain this properly. If someone can just give me a quick step-to-step guide on how to fix this or refer me to one, that would be great.

My second problem is with the gloves of the tier 5 warlock in the middle. Here we see what the hands are supposed to look like https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=htt ... r1.jpg&f=1. I know why this occurs, I don't know how to edit it though. I need to edit the Tier 10 Dark Coven set to the Tier 5 one.

On a side note, that's what I'm working on (the right side is what I want to turn the left side into). I love WOTLK, but man are those sets ugly:
