[Solved] Blp Laboratory Issue, help needed.

[Xthreo]

EDIT: [SOLVED]


I'm working on a custom UI with Paint.NET.
To convert the pictures from .TGA to .BLP I use the program: "Blp Laboratory". Strangely, this program adds a transparent border of 1 pixel to every picture during conversion.
This results in an ugly UI where each part is separated by a black line.
If I keep the files in TGA, there's no such transparent border and the UI works fine, though the file size is to big.

Does anyone can think of a solution?

I've tried several

programs

Paint.NET with the BLP plugin, BLP Tools 0.1 (v2), BLPaletter 1.5c, Warcraft III Image Extractor, Warcraft III Viewer

to convert TGA to BLP files but none are working for me...

I converted a lot of textures with blp lab and never had this issue, also I made some Customs Ui and works in game.. Can you upload some image?

Here's an example with a simple blue 512x512 picture :

First the TGA file directly imported

Before Conversion

Then the exact same picture but converted into a BLP file

After Conversion

You'll notice that black lines are cutting the UI, these lines are in fact the transparent border I was talking about.


Note that I just replaced the HumanUITile01, HumanUITile02, HumanUITile03, HumanUITile04 in these screenshots.

[Xthreo]

No, where you uploaded the screenshots?

In my "Zombie Hunter" folder, but I think I fixed it:

I think is something wrong in your texture and no the Blp lab. Can you upload the UI?

 

[Xthreo]

The problem isn't the texture: if I convert CRAZYRUSSIAN'S UI, it does the exact same thing

below his blp conversion

above my convertion of the exact same texure

HELP PLEASE

Well, maybe the configuration in blp lab is wrong... I never had this issue and I use Blp Lab constantly.

I found the problem! in the batch converter there's the alpha channel options and it was set to transparent 1 pixel border!
Anyways thx for your support anvil.
