Overview: This program allows you to view units, buildings, textures, and all other 3D/2D objects from Warcraft 3 (and TFT) as well as make file conversions.

Includes:
  • Can display MDX and BLP files
  • Can export MDX or BLP files from the MPQ.
  • Can convert BMP, JPG, TGA to BLP
  • Can convert BLP to BMP, JPG, TGA
  • Allows quality and depth settings during conversions
  • Allows you to choose to view different .MPQ files (Such as War3.mpq and War3x.mpq)

Installation and usage:

When launching the application, the first thing is to choose the War3.MPQ (or the War3x.MPQ for the extension of Warcraft 3) file (but theoretically, it should be found automatically). In the window Contents of War3.MPQ, you expand some items to browse War3.mpq, and you just have to click on the item you want to see. You can rotate the current object by keeping the left mouse button pushed while moving the cursor (and maintain the CONTROL key pressed if you want to rotate it around the X axis, you translate it with the right mouse button, and you scale it with both left and right buttons, middle button pushed, or mouse wheel. This application will not display non MDX or BLP files (Such as TGA or WAV files) that are also included in the MPQ.

You've got some driver problem on your end. Try upgrading your video drivers.

I'm converting jpg to blp. 4 files total. 2 of them convert ok, but the other 2 save as an emtpy file (0kb). I've tried resaving the .jpg files to .tga and convert, but still same thing. Any ideas?

I've attached the 2 trouble files.

Save them as .bmp then convert to .blp.

If needed copy and past the .jpg and paste onto a new file, then save as .bmp.

Sorry, should have mentioned that I already tried that. Now I accidentally deleted the other 2 files and have none. What a pain in the ass. I'll keep trying new files

Those images have non-power-of-2 dimensions (511 and 257). Fix those to 512 and 256 and see if it works better.

Well I found that if I didn't zoom out first and then cut them, it worked ok. Could have been that the dimensions were wrong as a result of the zoom because I couldn't get it exactly to 512 and 256.

Anyway, thanks.

I can't open some NE skins in this tool (for example, Archer's skin)... Why? How can I do that?

Certain textures aren't paired with the unit, for this one you need to look under Textures, for Ranger.blp. When the model is open look for the used textures to see where they are.
