    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

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.
