BLP <-> TGA Converter

[BlueBerryWizard]

This works for me (I have Vista). It's perfect for icons and for backgrounds, but for certain User Iterface things like borders it screws up. (It also will not convert .tga images to .blp if the dimensions are weird) All you have to do is drag a .blp onto it and it makes a .tga version of your .blp image. Then, after editing, you need to flip the .tga image upside down and save it (preferablly as something different, otherwise you'll have to delete the .blp in your folder before you convert it back). Drag your saved .tga onto the thing and it converts it back to .blp.

Tells me my width and hieght of tga has to be squared, took me 4 tries to get a screentshot well the window was still open, but i got it and thats what it said...

 

[NuevoEvo]

Same, it turns upside-down after i convert my tga format to blp.

[Sube2]

[Thehive]

This program refuses to do my DISBTN but it can do BTNAutocast BTN PASBTN and DISPASBTN. Eehwaiii?

 

[Dragonson]

This is a awesome tool, and it works very simple, but...
After one convert it went bunkers.
First Convert: Fine.
Second Convert: Now it begins the upside down thingy.
Third Convert: Doesent work? Wtf?

After the third convert nothing at all happened when i dragged my file ontop of it, it just opened a black box for about ½ second and then shut down again. And yes, my picture WERENT converted. Anyone know the cause of this?

Edit: Nvm people, i know the cause of this bug: Vista... sigh.

Here is how to use the program, since people seem to have some trouble with it. If dragging the file into the program does NOT work for you (it didn't work for me) then try this (I got mine to work like this):

1. After your download the file, do NOT change the filename.
2. Cut, copy or move the file into C:\Windows.
3. Go to your start menu and click on "Run".
4. Type CMD and press enter.
5. In the command promt, type -> BLPconv
6. Press space once, then enter your file (tga or blp) directory.
7. Press space again and enter the directory that you want the converted file to go.
8. Press enter and wait until it is done converting.

*NOTE: Very important: Make sure that when you put your directory in, surround every space with "", and also include file extension name (.tga or .blp) for both input file and output file. Take a look at the example below to make sure you are doing it right.

Example:
BLPconv C:\Program" "Files\CustomUnitPicture.tga D:\Warcraft" "3\UnitPic.blp

Hope you don't have any more problems with it!

[darkdoom]

FREAKING INSANE! nice job 5/5 very useful........btw it is not a virus i scanned it like 50 times

 

[I_H8_U_M8]

Very Nice Program, Good Job.

 

[Dragonson]

Yeah right?

 

[Synthax Kisuke]

The simplest tool ever created!

 

[arphax214]

should someone make a tutorial to this i dunno how to use this..

 

[iseedeadpeople]

if its a vius then why its approved?

 

[Epix_Loot]

I made a 24-bit tga of 18x18 pixels.
dragged the file on the icon of blpconv.exe
Nothing at all happened.

I'm using windows vista 64 bit (probably the problem, DAMN YOU, VISTA!!!)

 

[marcus158]

How does it work? When i start it it shows a black box for like 0,01 seconds then it closes.
Am i doing something wrong?

same.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

K just figured out how to use this, before anyone else starts saying its a virus and it doesnt work you don't open it up like a normal program:

You grab your image file and drag it onto the icon for the program (dont click the icon at all). When you let go it will run and poof out comes your file in BLP format.

 

[supertoinkz]

don't use it makes the blp blurry

I tried to convert a tga file to blp then, it became very blurry.

 

[ladanggiabao]

Man... This Tools is awesome...
I can make lots of blp files in just few second
Thanks alot

 

[Keksos]

Thats really a nice Programm and for everyone who didn´t understand it, drag the file you want to convert on the cpnverter exe and drop it. it gets automaticly convertet

 

[Nboaram]

im putting my .tga file on it , it then opens and closes?

 

[Nboaram]

fixed it It also has to be 512x512.

 

[Magtheridon96]

You shouldn't run the program. you should drag the tga/blp file to it and it will immediately convert it.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Nboaram, it doesnt have to be 512x512.
it works with 64x64, 128x128, 32x32 etc....

 

[demon.dark]

may u think that im stupid but i couldnt work with this at all

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Hmm... I know some of you might've gotten it to work through a link, but it appears to be broken. I hope somebody would help me, because I see the Black Box too

Edit: I've tried dragging it to, it became some TGA File, is that supposed to happen? I'm really sorry if I'm wrong.

Yes! That's what it is, a .blp <-> .tga converter, brilliant little program this, I wonder why it hasn't been approved...

 

[Thunderblood]

Black Box... me mad.

 

[Aggrius]

Black Box... you haven't read the other comments -.-

 

[Maximum_Evil]

This isn't a virus, just drag the blp file onto the icon!

Nice man, thanks

5/5

There are other tools with a GUI interface which do a lot more than this.

It works so why complain about GUI interfaces who do a lot more... if it works?

 

[DutchLegend]

It flips the image vertically, also it would be usefull if you can drag multiple files into it. Anyway this is the best blp <=> tga converter, easy to use, fast and it works perfect!
5/5

 

[Seawolf188]

Its already been said many times but I suppose another positive comment can't hurt. This is really convienent, you literally only need to open a window with the application and a window with your files and just drag them across, literally onto the application; don't even have to open it. I like it.

 

[azuriakc32313]

It's no virus, it helped me with me change tga to blp. It's probably the easiest program for converting TGA to BLP and vice versa.

 

[masterbielski]

i have dragged bmp and tga files on the BLPconv icon and only black box appeared for half a second and nothing happened. I don't know what i'm doing wrong
but on the blp files it is working and converting me to tga

 

[WooJ]

Format TGA

Image Size (16x16; 32x32... 512x512 etc.)
TGA file 24bits/pixels
Drop-on-BLPconv

 

[pred1980]

I get this error:

The width and the height of the input TGA must be power of two


edit: File dimensions must be correct... i had 500x500 instead of 512x512

But you should change that the file will not written under AppData\Local\Temp.... It should be the same folder as the input tga!!!

Edit2: After successfully convertation the image has one little issue It's upside down XD

 

[DanTDMzikri]

Good program! For you say it Virus or Spyware, it because you dont know how to use it. Just drag the blp file to the BLPconv.exe

 

[Alok]

WARNING: Do not use this tool. It can bug up your textures and they are not shown in-game. This is confirmed - I converted a texture with this tool and it didn't show in-game, tried converting it again and re-checked all the settings in the World Editor, it still didn't work, then I downloaded Warcraft III Viewer and converted the texture with it, and it worked, the texture was shown in-game.

In short, use Warcraft III Viewer to convert BLP <-> TGA.

 

[Chaosy]

I would suggest BLP lab instead, more functionality.

Didn't know about that one. That works too.

Hey Alok, do you quoting me? I see your name in Last Alerts

 

[Alok]

Hey Alok, do you quoting me? I see your name in Last Alerts

When you reply to a thread you start to "watch" it, which means you become subscribed to it, and when someone else writes a message in that same thread, you get an alert. I don't need to quote you for you to get an alert, you get it by me just writing a message in the thread. However, you only get one message alert from a thread until you see it, so there is only one alert from me replying after your post - that's why it says "There may be more posts after this" in the alert, only the first post is alerted. If I quote you your alert would say "Alok quoted your post in the <thread>".

No need to be sorry, you just needed information.
