Could someone please specify exaclty what u need to do at the nVidia control panel to make it possible to convert .dds files back to texture files? I know u need to select 'create mipmaps' but outside of that i wouldnt know what else exactly needs to be done, i still havent been able to convert them back yet.

There is a tool for converting the .dds to .texture and vice-versa search or it it's here somewhere.

I know that and i have that tool but when you save the file it says 'Compression: None' and 'Format: Default' or something like that. Im wondering exactly what u need to do on that small panel to make it possible to convert the dds files BACk to texture files. I have GIMP 2.0 and run Vista if thats at all useful....and yes i do have a dds plugin.

Ill post a screenie here shortly.

Well i use this one and i'm not familiar with the software that u showed me.

I've a pb with the battlefield units banners. In my submod preference file, I've show_banners = 1. But in battlefield, nothing.
Ideas ?

[Ishan]

Remove this line in your .cfg and delete the main .cfg and check if the banners pop up again.

In what format i must save it...???(i know about dds)
I am using gimp

[Ishan]

If you know how to save in .dds then use the converter linked above in post #41 and convert it to .texture.

[T&D]

i downloaded file in post 41 and clicked convert selected and...nothing...Done but any file arrived????I don't understand it...
PS I must have python 2.5????Bacause i have python 2.7 maybe this is the problem????

[Ishan]

Yes that's the problem good guess, uninstall that version of python and click here to install this one it's 2.6 and it works.

Need a little help. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong when I edit the faction buttons. I'm using DXTBmp.exe to send the .tga's to my editor, but when I save the files as tga, they end up looking broken and skewed in-game. The alpha gets broken as well and I don't know what's causing it...

I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I'm just missing something... see below:



Any help?

[Ishan]

Download GIMP and edit .tga files in it, no need to use DXTBmp for this purpose.

[Sandman 1924]

Thanks, I'll download that when I get home tonight.

Also, I use Paintshop Pro and it doesn't have any trouble opening the .tga's by itself, but I'm not confident that I know how to handle my alpha layer correctly. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm wondering: If the software can open the .tga, would simply saving it preserve the alpha as long as I don't change anything except the raster? That would be simpler than downloading a new program just to edit .tga's.... Anybody else familiar with Paintshop Pro 8?

I'm not saying I won't go get GIMP; I'm just curious now that it seems that it wasn't my methods, just my software usage... .

Thanks again!

[Ishan]

I use Photoshop sorry.
But i doubt it will mess up your alpha just by saving it, it shouldn't imo and if it does then switch ti GIMP then.
