Bitmaps and photoshop

Post by happykillmore »

I downloaded the .dds file extension off the file forums for PS and when I edit the file and save it. I try to inject it with DotHalo and it says "Bitmap being injected must be DXT2 or DXT3." after I have saved it in the DXT3 format.

EDIT: Nevermind. It was in the plugin file itself. Screwed up somehow, I noticed the different file sizes when I compared the original and the one that was in there. Works fine now.
pure adrenline attached to a license plate, isn't time to experience one yourself?

i know you have got it working now, but i need to give you a tip on it, for future reference.....

lets start with the Warthog_Standard, it is a DXT3 texture,

but if you try to inject a DXT5 texture into it, the error message will be "Must be in DXT5 format"

basicly, the error message just states the obvious, and its annoying till you figure it out.

i hope that can stop some confusion in the future.
