saving a dds in photoshop

[chimeric929]

i am new to modding and was wondering the settings i would need to save a dds in photoshop. none of the selections seem to work. i attatched what i was working on. simple throwing knife recolor. can anyone tell me the dds settings?

You need the nvidia dds photoshop blugin. A quick google search will bring it up. I'd get you a link myself but I'm on my phone and too lazy to do it with this thing.

i have it but i can't figure out which selection

ie

DXT1 RGB 4 bpp | no alpha

DXT5 ARGB 8 bpp | interpolated alpha

use existing mip maps

etc.

what should i do?

Ooh, my bad. I always used DXT 1 no alpha. Seemed to work for me.

Some models which use transparency need an alpha assigned, so you'd be safer to save as DXT3 with explicit alpha. Don't forget to check "no mip maps" and "2d texture".
