forcing dxt3 to be dxt5?

[r0tten]

how do i force one type of .dds to be another. for example, i awant to force the ghost.dds (which is a dxt3) to be a dxt5. don't ask why, i wanna see how it looks. if anyone could tell me how this is accomplished i would be grateful, scottygee i am looking in your direction, i know you know how to do this

edit: to be cclarify i know how to save it to be that, i have them all ready, i just cant get them in a map

Open your map in Ch2r, then goto the desired bitmap. when you can see the bitmap, you should see a combobox under the bitmap that will say the dxt type. Just change it there, and you should be able to inject teh desired dxt.

excellent, you have proven yourself very useful today.

edit: what version of ch2r are you using for this?

[Monkey Terd]

Ch2R v.0.9.3 if I am not mistaken.

ok i used that version and i followed all the directions, but the combobox wasnt there.

tried the other version and the combobox is there but i'm not able to edit it. i dont think that method works.

Are you double clicking on the Bitmap to bring up the editor?

for some odd reason it worked this time... thanks for your help.
