Covert to dxt1

[Guest ranco1]

I want to convert all the textures of kbosv2 to dxt1. I have dxtbmp but how do I convert them all at once, it takes to long 1 by 1.ThanksAlexhttp://fs2crew.com/linepilot.jpghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

I don't think there is a utility to do this. I have looked long and hard and only came up with one version (David Maltby published it -- I think) however, it was restricted to square bmps -- 512x512 or 1024x1024 for example) and I wasn't happy with the results since I'm running FS2002, many of the resulting testures had reflectivity issues and I had to go into each bmp anyway to fix that. So I too now toil along doing one file at a time.-------------------Racartronit means something, but I just can't remember what

imagetool.exe will batch convert files for you. I can't remember exatly how to do it, but I know ou had to run it from the command line. However, I don't think that simply converting textures to DXT1 will improve performance. The Boston scenery is quite complex, so if you're having problems running it now I imagine that will only see a modest performance gain, if any. A better idea would be to make the textures smaller, but either way, you are likely to notice a degradation, especially in the ground textures. Any transparent textures might not right, due to the alpha masking. Just don't a dramatic improvement. - Martin

Be sure to back up everything before you try it since you may not be happy with the results.See the attachment for imagetool's commands.Send me a PM if you don't know how to create a batch file.
