when it says "Must be DXT1" , i beleave it's an error in the error message itself. it means that the texture is currently in DXT 1, and needs to be in DXT3.

So, convert it to DXT3, and go from there.

You're talking worse than Shakespeare, let's slow down here.

HMT tells you the format to save your DDS file. If you save it in the wrong format, HMT will tell you the format that it is in, which really isn't useful.

Use the nVidia .dds plugin for Photoshop. It allows you to pick if you want it saved as a DXT 1, DXT 3, DXT 5, etc.
