Problem creatnig images for my addon

[Felankor]

Hi,

I want to create an image for my minimap button. But when I use it in game I just get a green square...

I'm making the image in PNG format and then converting it to BLP with BLP2PNG.

The canvas size of the image is 32x32 (I've heared that it has to be a multiple of 16)

The image is being saved as a 32bit PNG file before its converted.

The background of the image is transparent.

Anyone know why its just appearing as a green square?

I think i's a multiple of 2 (2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512)

You may want to try converting the PNG to a .tga using a program like The GIMP (which using the standard setting, produces WoW friendly tgas). This what I do when I create custom images and textures for use in game. You file has be mutilples of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 or any combo therein such as 32x16

BLPs can be a bit tricker as that is a Blizzard format and can be changed at Blizzard's whim. If you are using an older version, it may not produce WoW friendly BLPs.

I downloaded the gimp and converted the png to tga.

But im still getting a green square.

is it the right dimensions? did you code something wrong? double check you work, I think minimap buttons are usually 32x32 aren't they?
