Quokka are you really sure you're doing right? The BLP files are perfectly fine:

Extracting yes. I used the normal & patch funktion both do the same. with the list files from his site. the have a size 1kb minimal upto nearly 150kb depending on the texture.

What do you use to convert the the images.
I use blp2png.exe that might be the problem

I'm using blp2png.exe as well! The problem is if the extracted file is 1kb then something is wrong. How are you using the "patch function"? You need to chain the files in the right order or you'll get nothing but crap.

I start with
Open MPQ -> expansion3-MPQ
Open MPQ (Patch Mode) -> patch-base-12694.MPQ
Open MPQ (Patch Mode) -> wow-update-12694.MPQ
Open MPQ (Patch Mode) -> wow-update-12759.MPQ
Open MPQ (Patch Mode) -> wow-update-12803.MPQ


goto enGB right click on Interface Extract.

I hope this is the right way to do it

This doesn't look correct. You have to select "Open MPQs (Patch Mode), then select primary MPQ and all patches. Then MPQ Editor shows a dialor whre primary MPQ and all patches are displayed. Check if that is correct, then press OK.

Alternative way: run MPQ Editor with "/patch" command line parameter like this:
MPQEditor /patch expansion3.MPQ wow-update-12694.MPQ wow-update-12759.MPQ wow-update-12803.MPQ

As far as I know does patch-base-12694.MPQ not contain incremental patch files, but normal files, which can be extracted on their own.
