Texturing unit problem - causes invisible unit and lock up

[darwin]

What I want: I want to put a flag on this Blizzard model: Buildings\Other\Tent\Tent.mdx

I extracted this texture: Textures\LordsNatural.blp and modified it to look like I wanted it to.

Here is the .blp that I made, the TGA that I made it from and the .mdx from Blizzard:

It all looks beautiful in the War3ModelEditor, exactly like I want. When I upload the .blp and put it in it's location: Textures\LordsNatural.blp, the tent unit is just disappeared. It's still there (it's a shop), and has a shadow and so forth, but it's invisible. The unit can be placed on a map but it is invisible still.

Furthermore, one of the maps in my campaign now crashes when I try to edit it. I can open the campaign but when I try to edit that particular map it pauses during the doodad load (around doodad 4000) and then locks up. Windows then shuts down the WC3 editor.

The only thing I can think is that the .blp file is used for many units/doodads other than just the tent. Maybe the changed file is doing something to one of those doodads in that particular map and breaking it. I can't imagine what I could do to a .blp file that would cause this to happen however.

Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn't appear to be bad (opens in some BLP viewers), but perhaps it is corrupted. I haven't tested it in game.

Try converting the TGA with BLPLab instead. See if that works.

And about the crash, you should open your map with an MPQ editor and delete the BLP file. Hopefully that will allow it to be opened.

I don't know what it was...but when I used the BLP Laboratory to convert the texture it worked just fine. It showed up in game, and it didn't cause the editor crash. Thanks so much!
