[QUESTION] Texture problems
« on: December 11, 2014, 07:51:33 am »
So I have a 256x128 Glove item texture that I made, indexed the file, saved as PNG, converted via BLPConverter, and it turned up green in-game.

So I figured it was the size despite the fact that 3.3.5 supports 256x128 item textures, but I said w/e fuck it. So I resized it to 128x64, this time it's invisible in-game.

So toss me suggestions.

256x128=128x64. Nearly. There is no difference, so if you really used indexed colors mode, problem is somewhere in DBC. Check your itemdisplayinfo.dbc. Do you have right texture names there? Didn't you forget to add "_u"/"_m"/"_f" at the end of your texture names? Have you placed your texture names without "_u"/"_m"/"_f" into DBC? Do you have your textures in right folders (f.i. lower arm texture in ArmLowerTexture)? And in right columns in DBC?

Well, so many things can be wrong here :D. Rather just post screenshot of your file structure in MPQ and of your DBC.

I have the right texture names. Yes I have the _u and all that shit for male/female. Yes, I placed the texture names without the _U in the DBC. Yes the texture are in the right folders.

Well, then I don't know. Maybe I should just look at it by myself, upload a little patch with your item.

The glove (hand) texture is 256x64, not 256x128 or 128x64.

Was a mistype. I'm trying to say that the files are the correct size.

Then as Amaroth posted, put up a little patch.  We can find the error in seconds that way.

[Edit] I'd also try BLP2PNG rather than BLPConverter.  I have both and almost always use BLP2PNG after several issues with BLPConverter.

Of course also try it non-indexed.
