Green textures

Since patch textures seem to be bugged. It can happen that a texture will not be found (which was found before patch) and is diplayed in light green color.

Examples:


http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...kg-panels.aspx

I looked through the kg panel comments but found nothing helpful. I don't have the issue, but some users reported errors.

Anyone got this or a clue?

Does it happen after you tab out of the game? Is it displayed correctly after a reload?

The problem is I don't have the issue, so I don'T know. But having PSD and TGA files of the same name in the directory seems to cause troubles aswell. Removing the PSD from the folder solves it.

I have the same thing happening to one of my personal addons. The flder contains both PNG and TGA versions of the same texture file. Further defining the textrue path as ".tga" as noted in some Blizzard code doesn't seem to do anything.

Edit: I've noticed in the LCDXML for Logitech's color GamePanel refers to loading PNG battleground maps. I've tried loading 8, 24, and 32-bit PNGs into a UI texture object and none of them were successful.

here is the issue, since 4.1 if the .tga in question isnt in a directory containing a loaded addon, the game api wont always load it. part of thier new memory management. I had the same issue with an icon till i dropped it into an addon which would load (I used my own texture pack, to add it to libsharedmedia directly

Which means from now on having one "media" folder for all your addons is a bad idea? Unless you make it load some TOC/LUA containing ... basically nothing?

Awesome -.-

I don't know about the OP, but all of my image files are in the root directory of the addon. In my case, the game didn't like me having both the PNG and TGA files of the same name, I renamed the PNG source file (example name.png to name-src.png), restarted the game client, and it loaded fine afterward.
