Title: Index and RGB color mode
Post by: Filipsons on July 02, 2012, 06:23:37 pm

Hello,
I texturing beard and hair. But i must save PNG to Index colormode. I dont see any changes when I save to RGB color.

Problem: Index mode have only 256 colors and i cant use transparent color, but blizzard have a transparent beard and hair.

So...how can I create an RGB or Index transparent color in wow?

Thanks Phil.
PS:Sorry for my English

what about alpha layer? make an alpha layer in channel section then save as tga and convert tga2blp.
Should work.

Index and RGB have a different blp format

RGB - DXT with DXTC compression
Index - "palette + alpha" without compression
