texture views

[highpockets]

When viewing texture files within an a/c, I can view some and others say "drawing failed " within the same texture file. Is there a fix? I am using windows picture and fax viewer

Are you sure the texture is the same file? Windows picture and fax viewer can't read compressed format BMPs.

What program should I be using if I want to see the various textures in the a/c texture folder?

Try Using DXT Bitmap:

Far as I know there is no plug-in like Windows picture and fax viewer to let you do a quick view of compressed BMPs. You will have to open them with DXT Bitmap.

Please note that I think there is 1 or 2 of the compressed formats Windows picture and fax viewer can display.

Its the Alpha Channel...

Most of the DXT formats with alphas won't show. Use MWs tool. Just don't save them after viewing.

XNView

If you want ease, speed, and convenience in viewing all your compressed bmp's, then search no further. XNView is a highly versatile godsend. Amazing for searching, scenery texture bmps, too.

And it's free.
