+'''BLPs''' are Blizzard's texture format, used for many games.  World of Warcraft uses the BLP2 format in particular.  The BLP file structure consists of a header, up to 16 mipmaps of the texture, and a palette.  Texture sizes must be powers of two, though the two dimensions do not have to be equal; 512x256 is valid, but 512x200 is not.  The first mipmap (mipmap #0) is the full size image; each subsequent mipmap halves both dimensions.  The final mipmap should be 1x1.
