im doing the skins for BLink182's mod Fires Of Hell and i have a problem injecting the flag and flag base
it says the file is smaller do u want to continue and i click yes and then it says it has to be DXT1
dont say to save it as a DXT1 file cuz ive done that and everything is right and ive tried adding on layers and stuff to make the file size larger but nothing works
i used the search and every question about it was solved for noobs who didnt know wut DXT was and all they had to do was save it right but that doesnt work

anyone know how to inject it right

Sih, the thing is messed up. It say that it is dxt1 and its not supposed to be. On the bitmap it says what it is supposed to be right under the name in the plugin side. U now.

i kno it says the file size and it says DXT2, DXT3
ive tried making the file those too and that didnt work
i have no clue wut to do

This happens to me alot....what prog you use i use Photoshop 7.0 but when it says that just start over i never found a way ti fix it i think it is the way you put it together not whats on it

i use photoshop CS 8 or sumthin
but i figured out how to make the file size bigger
i just duplicated the background layer which multiplied it by 2 and then made it a DXT3 (explicit alpha)
after that it made the file exactly the same as the regular flag

ok sweet thanx that will save a hella lotta skinning time and effort

Woohoo u found it out. Now u gotta skin these platforms:
