Tigersong Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Does anyone know what level of compression Morrowind's .dds files use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemonjax Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) DDS format doesn't have an adjustable compression level (like jpeg or whatever). Morrowind's engine can accept a variety of image formats, including 1/1a/3/5/8.8.8rgb/8.8.8.8argb -- which are all dds format. The difference between them (besides the last two being uncompressed) is how they handle the alpha channel. 1 is the smallest, being compressed and without an alpha channel. 8.8.8.8argb would be the largest since it has an alpha channel and is uncompressed. In all cases you have the option to use mipmaps which would increase the filesize. Edited September 3, 2015 by Daemonjax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
