BathroomAids Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I am working on a new giant texture and its not showing in the game properly, I just wanted to test my progress out. I tried DXT1 no alpha, DXT1 alpha1 on the texture itself and DTX3 on the normal map... The model comes up blue, and I even placed the old files back in and the model is still blue? I changed the size of the texture to 2048, the original was 1024, but even when I lowered it back to the original size to test it... well it still didn't work :[I'm converting in PS with the DDS Nvidia plugin by the way.

Are you opening a previous .dds and editing it then re-saving? What worked for me was make sure the layers are "merged" and unlocked then try saving, keep the default settings that come up right after choosing a file name for your file.

BathroomAids Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yes, I opened the original giant texture. I saved it in a different folder as a .PSD file with all my layers, and I merged them when I wanted to save it as a DDS file. This way I could look at what needs fixed and check out the progress.

Inflection Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm relatively new to texturing myself, and I'm not sure if it will help or not... but did you make sure you flattened the psd file before saving it as .dds? It could be a possible cause if you didnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cojaca2 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I never bother flattening my textures before I save them, so I doubt that is the problem. I would suggest that after you save the texture, close it and then open it again - If it looks right, you are having an issue with the game, and if it doesn't, you are having an issue with the plugin.

Yea, its the plugin... I opened up the .DDS file and it says "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file". Anyone know how to convert them properly with the Nvidia PS plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
