Texture

FireOne · Civilian **Joined**: 13 Feb 2010

My work with Cameos (which i am still trying to sort out), introduced me to the joys of photoshop.

So I decide to paint the Zero Hour battle ship HULL white. I painted it white and then put the dds file in the texture folder. The dds still had the same name as the original.

When I went to the load screen of zero hour, the battleship was there.. all black (not just the hull).

What has happened?

I remember someone doing this for me once, it worked for them...

Generals use DDS's DXT 3 compression setings Smile

You may want to re-export your texture with the right settings Wink

Export it how?

I modified the texture in paint (converted it to gif), then converted the modified version back to dds, and put it in the textures folder.

Paint does not have an export option.

Do I require gmax to modify textures?

Get the dds plug-in for Photoshop to do it right, your Alpha channel is likely screwed up.
