I need some help here from experienced artists out there. Unlike large.tga, ensign_denmark_diffuse.dds in the naval textures directory does not seem to work with transparent areas - they show up as pure black around the flag. Any idea how to solve this?
My .dds file has an alpha channel that specifies transparency, and I save it using DXT5 compression - this all works for the campaign and battle flags, but for some reason, not for the naval flags. It might have something to do with the program looking for the alpha channel in another file - there is an ensign_alpha.dds file in the pack - but making a separate alpha file following this naming convention hasn't worked so far (ensign_denmark_alpha.dds, to go with ensign_denmark_diffuse.dds).
Any help would be appreciated.
