Anyone else using gimp to edit textures? Game crashes when using my custom textures but Im pretty sure Im saving in the correct format. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.. When saving in Gimp I export to DDS using Alpha Exponent(DXT5) compression with generate mipmaps checked. There is also an option for format that is greyed out as default, I can however change the format first then change the compression.
I have attached screens of the options available to me when saving. help!

I had no luck using Gimp either. It seems you need Maya and Photoshop to do certain modding tasks. Two very expensive restrictions.

Please try BC3/DXT5 and save texture in RGBA8 format.

Still crashed it. I also finally got the PS plugin to work but it does the same. Are these settings correct? I am using CS5 if it matters.

I got it to work! Apparently Photoshop doesn't like to let go of the file even if you close it. Closed PS completely after saving DDS and it works. Let the fun begin!

I don't really have much to add. I would just like to state that I have successfully made a working .dds file by using this program. http://eliteforce2.filefront.com/file/D ... rter;29412Attachment:
