DXTbmp Help

[jackedwardmorris95]

I have repainted 1 file and upon trying to save as, I was not sure on which type to save it as, I can select from the following:

DDS Texture
Extended Bitmap
Targa with Alpha
24bit BMP Image
ACE DXT1 Texture
Creative Assembly Texture
Infinity Ward Image

So what should I save it as?

Jack,

Actually, don't do "save as." Just do "save." Under most conditions, DXT3 works just fine, that's kinda the CFS2 standard for most things.

Do as Rami says, Back up the original texture and "Save". The utility should chose the format (DXT3 with alpha or no) of the original and save under the original name.

Jack, just for your info: take look at; http://www.gjsmith.net/Tutorial/tutorials.htm
you'll find an extensive tutorial on repainting, even how to add shine through alpha channel etc. Content is for fs2002 and fs2004 but the basics also apply to CFS2

cheers,
