Title: Custom Chestpiece Texture Not Working
Post by: Kobiesan on March 02, 2016, 03:34:39 pm
So I gave texturing a shot and made a 128x64 chest piece armor texture but it isn't working in-game. I added it to the dbc and my patch but something still isn't right. I think it might be the wrong type of BLP but I'm not sure what the correct settings I need to use in Blipster are.

In DBC, there should always be (texturename)

In MPQ, there should always be either (texturename)_u.blp OR (texturename)_f.blp and (texturename)_m.blp. So if your texture is saved as SlaveGirlUpperTorso.blp in MPQ, it won't work. You need to add that _u behind name (or _m and _f if you want to have 2 different textures for male and female characters).

About BLiPster settings, simply make sure that Clothing texture is checked for armor textures (except shoulder and head textures).

128x64 is fine for upper part of torso, for lower it should be 128x32. Or 256x128 and 256x64. Just saying, it seems you have this correct.

Thank you, bro. It works fine now!
