your using banshinject correct? if not then i probably cannot help you.. but i suggest reading the readme, several times, thoroughly.. then try to do it.. also (if i remember correctly) you cannot have any alpha layers in the dds..

halo map tools works great did you download the plugin for photoshop or paint shop pro then you put the plugin in the folder then restart photoshop and it should work http://developer.nvidia.com/attach/5747
