wrong texture type, try palletized png, so it converts to P0-BLP( http://madx.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=BLP (http://madx.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=BLP" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) )
Or use the option in blpconverter (see manual of it)

Use BLP converter, one tip

When saving in Photoshop, it should be Indexed color, not RGB, at times that's the cause ;)
This won't work if you have transparency in your texture, i recommend you to check your BLP tool then

For me, blpconverter isn't working.

Create a shortcut with /p & /r and drag drop my blp file(frostmourne, has transparency) over it. nothing happend..

BLPConverter gives you error messages in the console.
Use the command line to run the application and you might get the reason for it failing.

or append " >> blpconvert-log.txt" to your batch / shell file so it would read

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for %%i in (*.blp) do BLPConverter.exe "%%i" >> blpconvert-log.txt
pause

using a single >, ">" would overwrite the files contents
using two >'s,  ">>" would append to the files contents
