Problem with DDS textures? Which format?

Recommended Posts

Hi, I've tried both NVidias DDS tool as well as DXTBMP, however I'm always getting some kind of a chrome effect on the textures:unbenannt1me.jpgI tried to play around with the alpha channel, however that doesn't some to have any effect on the texture, apart from that I tried allmost all formats I could find, but still - I'm getting the same result sad.pngAnyone knows how I can configure the texture correctly?Interesting is, that I've also saved the wing textures, but they are shown correctly, but fuse, tail and engines have that strange effect :(

Which Aircraft are you painting for Darth? as for the fuse use DXT5 ARGB 8 bpp | interpolated alpha and no mip via NVIDIA plugin... look at the specular maps for the reflectiveness...You can zip up the dds files and will have a look?

hi Andre, thanks for your reply really appreciate it, it's the pmdg747 but I'm sure it's the same with other planes too, the format you gave me is exactly the one I used, as I said it's the same no matter what format I used or program?http://valleyofthewo...Texture.STM.zipactually I didn't have such a problem on my old system, however some people reported the exact same problem, now I have a new computer and I have the same problem too :(

Andre really thanks for your help, I've found the reason: the rest of the textures were missing :)
