its basicly just a normal picture file, except i think its more compressed than a .jpg and it doesnt have stupid formats. MOHAA uses them, its easy to skin on MOHAA

and do they physically look good? does the compression screw up the image like jpg does at lower qualities?

maybe Bungie just worked with dds's because they're much more compatible with DirectX or something? or maybe they're the easiest to render (thus the reason for using them)?

a TGA is also easier to mod, as the parts of the pic that they use is determined by the alpha channel, so you can physically add more to the skin, and no, it doesnt reck quality.

ohhh... tho I do recall that Bungie said "we will fully support modding on HPC"... so why would they have changed their idea about modding?

I doubt that anyone wouldn't like to see their game modded... just the novelty of someone else finishing (so to speak) your game
