Question on working with Gimp


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

 

just trying to get familiar with modding and managed to create a face texture out of an old one merged into a 2k15.dds file.

Now question is how I can manage to fit the size again. When saving as .dds I do not get close to the size of the original image. My file is always bigger.

 

Anyone could provide advise?

Save as DXT1, and use existing mipmaps. remember, to get textures to show, you have to edit each mipmap as well, I just copy paste and resize.

Well, saved as DXT1 and looked via Hex how many mipmaps there are. In this case it was four so I entered the number and clicked save...my file now is 683kb and original file is 681kb..... :

Make sure the only visible one in the layers is the Main surface layer, also make sure it's the one you have currently selected in layers, then save. Happened to me and doing that fixed it.

merged all layers into and saved as selected layers but it still has a size with 683kb and not 681kb...going mad :(

You can try and copy and paste your edits on to the old file in visual studio. It will always save with the same settings.
