Texturing and 2D Art / [SOLVED] [QUESTION] [WotLk] Texture Transparency
« on: June 04, 2016, 10:46:53 pm »
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:

Modelling and Animation / [QUESTION] [WotLk] Item Swapping, Hands & Heads
« on: May 29, 2016, 06:33:52 pm »
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:
