WotLK (And sort of Vanilla) BLP Retextures not retexturing

Yo.

I'm trying to retexture some armor BLP textures in WotLK, but I'm having some trouble with it. This might also extend to Vanilla for me, as I made an MPQ patch for all of my retextures (which I made in Photoshop (selecting indexed textures) through a BLP converter), but it stopped recognizing new retextures after a while for some strange reason. I've tried looking for others with the same problem, but haven't come across anything useful. Basically, it boils down to this: I made an MPQ patch that eventually stopped working after adding enough retextures.

I've tried using an older version of Photoshop (which I still have installed), because I thought that maybe it was because I switched to later versions a while ago, but even that didn't do anything. I swear I've been doing the same exact method since I started making these retextures. Some retextures are working, but new ones don't, and they also don't overwrite any of the retextures that were already in there. The MPQ format was something that I also looked into, and it turns out the reason why the new MPQ patch that I made for WotLK wasn't working at all was because it had the wrong MPQ format, which was 2.0, and the correct one being 1.0. The one I made for vanilla had the 1.0 format and that ended up working better than the other (since at least some older retextures are working).

As you can see, the Executioner's Sword (Sword_1H_Short_A_03Red.blp) is retextured, but the Raider's Shoulderpads (Shoulder_Mail_B_01Red.blp) and the upper portion of my Husk of Naraxxis (Plate_D_01_Chest_TU_U.blp) both aren't desaturated (which is what I was trying to do). The strangest thing is just the fact that the files in the MPQ don't get overwritten and instead just leave a duplicate file in there with the same exact name and extension. I also ended up using a manual BLP2PNG converter and that also didn't work. Feel free to have a look at the MPQ. I'd really appreciate the help.
