• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Batch texture converters

I'm putting the bat and exe in the texture folder, then running the bat. It quickly flashes up with the little cmd window, with some text, then quickly closes again before I get a chance to read what the text says. All of the textures stay at 4Mb.
 
What format do your textures have? If they are BMPs, you have to change "*.dds" to "*.bmp" in the bat file.

Or you might try to convert only one or two files in a separate folder. Maybe the source files have to be in the same format.

I just tested it with 4 4MB files and it really works.
 
Definitely DDS files. Tried removing every other file in the folder, except one DDS, and it didn't even convert that!

After all this time, I probably could have converted each file individually in Photoshop. :icon_lol:
 
Ah well, I've found a program that does the trick just as well (simply called DDS Converter 2). Converts them perfectly, with mipmaps, so I guess I don't need a bat file. Thanks for all your help anyway, and hopefully it's helped out others, too.
 
OK, i have found the reason why it didn't worked on your system.. the DX SDK has to be installed to use the tools:kilroy:
Too late for you, but maybe helpful for others...
