Bitmaps problem

Post by m3tallicAm4n666 »

MMmmmk. I downloaded and installed the photoshop plugin. I followed all instructions, and I am pretty nifty with PS. But when i save, and click inject bitmap, it says it must be in DXT1 format, And thats how i saved it. So..... any ideas?

When your exporting the bitmap, look in the Raw data editor screen of what DXT the bitmap has to be in. The error might say "The file has to be DXT 5" when you import, but really its DXT 1.etc.

Just making sure, did you check the bubble for "dxt1"?
You also need to save it as the correct file type. I've done it before using the tutorials here and got them to work fine. Just double check your work, you probably made an oopsy :P .

Try checking different bubbles. Trial and error is the best teacher :P .
Well not really...but it's easier. It just takes twice as long.
