Good Day ! How to BLPs with Alpha Channel, so that a part of it will be transparent.

Also i want to resize some BLPs that have alpha channel, so which output format shall i choose ?

What software are you using to convert the images to blp? Also, what format are your files in prior to the conversion?

Thanks for the answer i use BLP Lab, i converted to BMP and PNG but they dont keep the Alpha chennel.

ok if i got your right, you have blp's and want them bigger?

PNG should support transparency but i don't know for sure.

I always use .tga to make changes to any wc3 texture and then convert it
back to .blp with BLP lab. Also be sure that when saving any texture in BLP lab,
when clicking the 'Alpha Channel' button in the saving window, the 'leave alpha
channel without changes' is used, or the alpha channel might be lost (or 'add
alpha channel sould your source texture be without one).

Also to make changes to .tga files you need some sort of program like PS, or
GIMP (freeware, i use it). Paint does not support .tga or at least does not save
their alpha channel.
