• 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.

BMP to DDS converter

GypsyBaron said:
I have done a batch conversion by copying imagetool.exe
into the texture directory and then executing:

imagetool -nobeep -dxt5 -dds -nodither *.bmp

I have also done it recursively using a couple of batch files
to accomplish a conversion for all my AI aircraft textures.
Adding the -r option will cause imagetool to convert in the
current directory and all subdirectories. Here is the command line I used for DTX3 conversion:

imagetool -e dds -DXT3 -dds -mip -nogui -r *.bmp

Ok, I have copied image tool into the texture folder. How did you execute all the other stuff after it ? I can't see any of these options in the menus ?
 
If you are making BAT files, simply double click the BAT with left mouse button. Its the same as an EXE file, it 'starts' the ImageTool EXE and tells it what to do. (Wake up, do this to these, and this too, and then go back to sleep).

Put that text into a file using any text editor and name it
DDS_convert.bat

Place that in the folder and double-click on it.
