Discovery - I have Icon Problems

I somehow always have icon problems, either i put them in the right path and they crash the game, or dont change the path and it screws up the game....
I use warcraft3 viewer and BATCH convert my .tga's into .blp's. BUT somehow, when BATCH import them into my game, they lose their image for some reason, its either warcraft3 viewer, and/or the batch conversion for UMSWE.
when i figured this out,(one or the other) i batch converted(yes i also tried the single conversion) from .blp to .tga with the wc3 viewer, and what came up was this blank picture with at least a size (before was 64x64) into a 0x0.
thought you 'ought ta know

Note that you have to resave your map before icons show up properly in the WE.

Im a noob at Mapping but if im Correct, the Blp hasve to be 32Bit or whatever it is. I originally saved mine as 16 didnt work and i read they have to be 32. And mine all Work fine.

i tried the .BMP batch conversion with the WC3viewer to a .BLP, it just said Batch Conversion Succeded or w/e, BUT YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT BMP'S DIDNT HAVE ALPHA'S SO THEY COULDNT BE CONVERTED CORRECTLY, WHEN YOUR GIVING ADVICE, GIVE IT ALL!!!!! ..... *mumble, mumble* im inna bad mood cuz o these icons, dont take it personally, and dont spam about me yelling at people plz

o and uh..... the icons were 0x0 like i said, i wasnt viewing them in the world editor, i was viewing them with psp7

You can use tga too. They take a little bit more space I think.

Do what I do, I use Image Extractor instead of that batch conversion , and it works like a charm , And don't come saying that you have to use bmp / tga, blp is by far better.

Edit; I woncer why did you call this thread discovery.
