[SOLVED] [QUESTION] [WotLk] Texture Transparency

[morbent]

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:

[attachment=0:2to571xv]Emblem_07_14_TL_U.png[/attachment:2to571xv]

Blp convertor can deal wtih png transparency without problems but model that is loading texture is ordering renderflags

GUI for GUI lovers. Use Clothing texture option. Thats pretty much all.

Wait what? I have to change the model?
What is a renderflag?

Update: Just tested BLiPster - this is amazing! Why do people even use a batch file? This thing converts stuff in seconds and with transparency and all that.
Thanks a lot Amaroth!

I use cmd version specialy because its cmd

my fav example

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for /r %%i in (*.blp) do BLPConverter8.exe "%%i"
FOR /r %%A IN (*.blp) DO DEL %%A
this convert all blps to pngs in folder and even subfolder + its deleting blp once they are converted

BLiPster can do... as far as I know... nothing what one would not be able to achieve just with basic BLPConverter. It even uses BLPConverter. However, if you are not familiar with windows command line, .bat files and so on, this is just far easier way. And probably less time consuming.
