've been trying to get a new texture on my Jyunsen B, the plain one I posted earlier and that is available for doiwnload works fine. When I edit it and save it to dds 5 from photoshop cs, it doesn't work, the ship's all black

when just renaming an existing texture, it works in game, although not all the parts are at the right place, so the problem is the DDS TYPE I use...

DXT5_NM XY 8 bpp | using DXT5

is the option that finally worked ! I drew a few white lines on the texture shown above, saved it using dxt5NM and voilà :

so now I can work on a real new camo skin for the Jyunsen B

Not sure what the game won't accept, but I know it will accept DXT1 and DXT3. For skins, I usually save as a DXT1 with no alpha.

only one that worked here was dwt 5nm...

Try this program for DDS stuff and things. It's nice and easy.

And see what are your mods. Sometimes TM messes around with the textures.

While working with an open source 3D engine in the past I had some problems with the Nvidia DDS plugin, now I use the DDS plugin which comes with the DirectX SDK and all saved formats work fine.
