SSE Converting png to dds?

[TheWilloughbian]

I been trying to convert a png to dds for SSE, using gimp, but the resulting texture crashes the game/CK. Having the same problem with a few jpegs as well. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks.

What model are you retexturing?

What compression settings are you using?

Are you importing then generating mipmaps for the new dds file?

Finally when exactly does your crash occur?

You could try an online converter like this one. JPEG can also be selected in the drop down menu.

Q: What model are you retexturing?

A: Halofarm's Computer Screens from Aether Suite.

 

Q:What compression settings are you using?

A: BC3/DTX 5

 

Q: Are you importing then generating mipmaps for the new dds file?

A: I've tried, but it doesn't seem to help.

 

Q: Finally when exactly does your crash occur?

A: When I try to load the model with the texture into the CK.

Yeah. I tried that one. Didn't work. Thanks though.

Are your textures sized in powers of 2 (e.g. 1024x1024, 2048x2048, 4096x4096)? If not, rescale them so that they are.

That did the trick. Thank you.
