In the WoW
artwork files, it seems common to see a bunch of
BLP files, that actually form a single art file when glued together
- Are there any scripts, or specific tools available to convert them to a single BLP? So we don't have to use Photoshop/Gimp/etc?
- If an executable/script is required, is it possible to do this with Lua, or is this better done in "real" programming languages?
- It would also be great if instead of BLP files, it could work with PNG files instead, since most people would want to convert it to PNG anyway
- I found this post from Xinhuan, but the reference only exists in the Google Cache now, but it was focusing more about the MPQ's Minimap files in particular
- WorldMapFrame_Update and CreditsFrame_SetArtTextures seem to have the Lua logic for it, but I don't quite understand it, and it's only for making them appear pasted together ..
- I'm also wondering how Wowhead and MMO-Champion manage to do this
Here is an example:
