[Import] Broken skin

[Watcher]

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.

What patch version are you using it on?
Maybe that has something to do with it.
The author has been on in June this year. Maybe wait for an answer/fix.

Are you sure you set the path exactly like this : Units\Demon\Demoness\demoness.blp ?

I think I know what's wrong, in the model bundle it says the import path is : units\demons\demoness\demoness.blp while in reality it's just "demon" without the "s"

Sorry for late response. Thank you guys for your suggestions and the greatest thanks to @Warseeker and +rep, cause the wrong path was indeed the problem.
