Getting frustrated. (TGA/BLP Transparency and Alphas)

[Sponge3737]

ok... Since I'm sure most people are looking at this and going tl;dr I'll keep it simple.

How do I convert a PSD into a TGA into a BLP and keep the transparency correctly.

Thing screwed up, accidental double post.

Save in photoshop as 32 bit TGA without RLE.
Then download and use any BLP converter from Tools section. I recommend this tool.

Thanks. Is it just me or does that program lower the quality a bit when saving to blp? I know theres a few different settings, just wondering whats the best look. (Not worried about kbps personally)

If the image after converting looks bad, you can save it with other settings:
- Check "Compressed" option with 85% quality (or any other in range 65-85%, it would be decent).
- Check "Merge headers", it decreases file size a bit.
- Check "Progressive format", it would give probable better compression of file in archives.
For more information, read the help file of program (readme_eng.txt).
