Change the color texture for Underwear for WOD texture.

[Draak]

Hello guys, I'm on a WOTLK Server with WOD texture and I try since few days to switch the color and features of this WOD Texture Patch.
I would like to begin the modding and test my creations. 
So, for start I would like to change the skin color of the characters and make some better Underwears if possible.

So for that I hope you have some guides for manipulate the textures ( .BLP Files )

I have pick only the female_00 Textures for test ( extract with MPQeditor )
Converted them on PNG ( BLPconverter)  files and I Modified them with my photoshop.
So after that I Save the Textures in PNG-24 and Re-convert them in BLP files.
Put the new textures in my WOD patch for WOTLK ( With the same name as the textures needed for the patch )

Problem : when I run the game, the texture for my female_00 is just Green With the normal head from WOD. 

If anyone can explain to me what is wrong And can give me a tutorial to improve myself on the modding for character Texturing.

Thank's for your time / Sorry for my bad English ( I'm French ) 
Hope you can do something for me !

Cordially Draak.

I would say it is the wrong blp format or wrong size.
Character textures have no alpha and palettized colors.

Sooo ... How I can fix that ?

Edit the blb converter config ^^  So that it output the correct one.

Okay, I will try !

Soooo, I don't Know how to edit The Blpconverter ...

But thx for your time

This has been posted like one hundred times. Character textures 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:

Code: [Select]

@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.

Thank you all ! I will try this

Or you can just use BLiPster and when converting texture in it, make "Character texture" checked. Done.

I think that is  a good Software !
I Will try too !
Thank you all for you help

Obviously I think I have an error somewhere ...
I have perfectly converted my .Blp and imported them into my patch but I have that WowError
