DXTBmp (Martin Wright)question

Recommended Posts

HelloI use this very useful utility to convert aircraft textures from 32bit to DXT3.I usually drag each texture file one at a time and convert it.I was wondering if there is a way of converting the whole folder in one go?I have tried fiddling,copying pasteing etc but i can still only convert each file one at a time.cheers Andy

Did you try editing the batch file - substituting DXTBmp for Image Tool?Obviously DXTBmp and the textures to be modied must all be in the same folder also.Try it in a test area and see if works.

>Thanks Graeme and David>I have downloaded the ConvImx programme and latest DLLs and>will try it out later today.(many new POSKY 777S to alter)>cheers Andy:-) updateHello againI downloaded the wrong program at first,(to much of a hurry)but have now got the correct one.I have just converted a new posky 777(asiana).The first attempt didn't work very well (blurred textures)but i membered something about mipmaps and deselected that option tried again and it has worked this time(no blurr) so cheers again.Andy
