Why my texture is only fully yellow?

Hello evreybody,

I created the following texture on my textures folder in \myaddon\textures:

in DXT5, size 64x64, with alpha chanel

But I have this result on the screen:

I don't understand.

this is my code in control.lua

Lua Code:

local monsterDiff = container.monsterDiff or WINDOW_MANAGER:CreateControl(nil,container,CT_TEXTURE)
    monsterDiff:SetDimensions(64,64)
    monsterDiff:ClearAnchors()
    monsterDiff:SetAnchor(TOP,name,BOTTOM,0,10)
    container.monsterDiff = monsterDiff
 
local iconCFG = self.textures 
 
        nameplate.monsterDiff:SetHidden(false)
        nameplate.monsterDiff:SetTexture(iconCFG.defaultboss[normal])
        nameplate.monsterDiff:SetColor(240,100,0,1)

and code in textures.lua

Lua Code:

defaultboss = {
        normal      = Myaddon.name .. '/textures/bossicon1.dds',
}

Do you have an idea?

Thank's you.

Your texture could not be loaded, so it is displayed as a white box. The white box is tinted yellow because of
nameplate.monsterDiff:SetColor(240,100,0,1)

The texure could not be loaded because iconCFG.defaultboss[normal] returns nil in your code.

Lua Code:

defaultboss = {
            normal      = Myaddon.name .. '/textures/bossicon1.dds',
    }

This lua code means the table defaultboss has a field called normal, which contains the path to the texture. However, when calling defaultboss[normal] lua will interpret normal as a variable and not the name of the field.
You need to call iconCFG.defaultboss.normal or iconCFG.defaultboss["normal"]

I understand better. Thank you very much for your help.

Indeed, it works better. :)
