[QUESTION] Problems with 2D interface modding

(1/2) > >>

Lawz:
Hello,
I'm new in WoW modding, and I have some problems. All I did up to now is change some .blp files, put it in the Interface/(folderName) folder, replacing old images. For example, I changed almost all the blp files the same way as with SantaUI (I inspired from this "addon" a lot), but also other files, still in the Interface folder.

I have 2 problems with it : I changed the button textures ( Interface/Buttons/UI-Quickslot and all the blp like that), and it works fine, but when I drag a spell in my bars, or I change my gear, or those kind of actions, those textures "disappear", it's just as if I did nothing. I tried to make a custom mpq patch with all those blp (anyway I wanted to do it in my release version), but it doesn't change anything.

Another related problem, is that when I change my screen size or whatever (go full screen, etc), all the textures I have modified go white. I don't get it, isn't is just as if I had completely changed the source files ? It's not a big deal, but it worries me, because I thought I completely swapped the old files. Could anyone tell me how I can really change my client so that the games really thinks it should be that texture, and not the original ones ?


I'm not sure I was clear enough, English is not my native language moreover it's quite difficult for me to explain my problems since I'm really new to modding. Don't hesitate to ask me something more specific if you didn't understand my problem but still wish to help me !

I can't give a solution but I ran into the turning white problem when modding the character select and login screens. It has to do with how the BLPs are compressed.

Lawz:
Thanks for your answer, I'll take a look about that point.

fearless_wind:
Your blps inside MPQs should be only compressed, not encrypted. (Just change the writing rule and add them again)

Lawz:
They are already only compressed (I uploaded a screenshot), did I miss something ? Btw it was like that as default, and I don't see any "add files" options. I use Ladik's MPQ editor version 3.5.0 747
