Hi there, I made my own maddow texture based of the Arcane University Shadow, I imported it and changed path to: ReplaceableTextures\Shadows\ShadowMeadHall.blp

But for some reason this shadow won't show up at all in the editor or ingame? Never done costum shadows before so am I doing something wrong?

Please help

I think you need to overwrite a shadow for it to work, so the shadow Path should be something like "ReplaceableTextures\Shadows\Farm.blp"

or something similiar, I don't have the Editor open.

This is strange, it seems it's my Shadow file thats the problem not the import path, it won't even work in WC3 viewer, just shows as blank.

I tried exporting an existing shadow as BMP, I didnt make any changes to it then converted it back to BLP and it still wouldnt load in WC3 viewer? I tried this with BMP and TGA files.

I tried extracting it without converting it and it can load that so it seems to me like the problem's created during the BLP conversion?

I've attached a shadow BLP that I havnt made any changes to below, if you try and convert this into tga,bmp or jpeg to edit it it won't load when you try to view in Warcraft Viewer :(
