Thread: Question

    Default Question

    I've never really modded before, and am trying to make new faction icons. There are some files that have a .tga.dds extension at the end. I'm not sure how to save them right in Photoshop.

    Do you have the .dds plug-in for it?

    I already have the plugin. I just don't know what I'm doing.

    oh, yes.
    If the box saying "no alpha channels will be saved" click OK.
    For save format, have it on "DXT 1 RGB (no alpha)", and 2d texture
    and make sure that "generat mipmaps" is selected

    I already save it like that. If I save it as a .tga.dss file, the image is doubled (another being added to the right). I don't suppose I could save it as a .tga or .dss file, could I?

    I think the game only reads the *.tga.dds files.
    I use Paint Shop Pro 7, so perhaps it is something in Photoshop. I can't say that I've ever had that problem. Try the *.dds.

    The tutorial helped. It was simply a matter of having the lower case extensions it seems. Thanks. Both of you.
