Convert problem

[AtivEnergy]

i made in photoshop one icon for game interface [icon - gold (alliance)]
-new image 78x30 pixels , 8 bit with alpha channel
-save as tga 32bit
-convert tga in blp with warcraft 3 viewer v2.3c
-in w3v quality of compression 99 and ok...
normal in tga the image have 9,18 KB
after convert in blp the image have 0 KB
my question is: why is 0 in blp and don't work ((

Stuff in the import manager 'randomly' shows as 0 kb. But it doesn't mean that it doesn't work in game.

This is from one of my projects.

is 0 in desktop i can't view in warcraft 3 viewer

you can make one icon with alpha channel and convert blp with w3v 78x30pixels?

You can use TGA files for icons. They're usually smaller than BLPs by default unless you compress the BLP files.

For future conversions to BLP, you could try using BLP Lab instead. It's been 100% reliable for me so far.

A while ago, I tried to convert .tga to .blp as well...
Ended up having a .blp which redirected to the .tga.
So if I had both, I could set the path to the .blp but if I removed the .tga, it didnt work any more.

I think that this is the same case because I had those .blps also at 0 bytes.

After importing your blp, what path are you using?

[solved] work perfect with BLP LAB
