Hello guys!

Can anyone get this skin working?

RunicRavenWitch.BLP

I tried importing, saving the map, closing & opening multiple times, also tried changing the path, but seems like nothing really works & skin creator hasn't been around since January of 2k20.

His other skins work correctly, so I don't really know why this skin doesn't work.

Possibly incorrect export settings in BLPLab resulting in a corrupt BLP file.

You can use BLPLab to extract the full sized image. From this either try re-encoding it into BLP1 (not BLP2) with a full set of mipmaps, or using GIMP to export it as a compatibly encoded DDS texture.

Be aware that BLPLab has broken mipmap logic. Not only must the required number of mipmap levels be manually computed, but the logic suffers from off-by-one errors so you need to add 1 to the total number of mipmaps to get it to generate them all reliably. Since the image has a largest dimension of 512 pixels this means that 11 mipmap levels would need to be specified in BLPLab for it to maybe work.
