Title: Somebody Please Help Me
Post by: ToecrusherHammerjaw on December 10, 2006, 09:51:23 am

Urgh! :mad: I am still looking for a reliable way to convert .dds to .pcx image format.  Yes, I know .dds is more efficient.  I don't care!  I just want to know a reliable way to accomplish this.  Anyone here know how?

I use Photoshop with the .dds plugin. Just remember to convert the .pcx the 256 colour since I'm not sure the engine accepts high-colour pcx files (though not certain) and the -pcx32 flag was removed in 3.6.7.

What's wrong with the batch processor in Irfanview?

Irfanview? What's that? :confused:

EDIT:  Ah, ok.  I'll try that.

Also, on the Photoshop thing, I had hoped for a no cost solution, but I'll look into that for Christmas.  Thanks, Flipside!  :)

Come to think of it, I only have four textures that need converting.  I just need them to work in ModelView (no glowmaps to speak of, I think it will be fine).  If someone is willing to do this for me, please let me know, and I'll send you a PM with them attached.  I would be very appreciative.  :)

DOUBLE EDIT: Kara---It works!!! YES!!!! I am now officially your whore.  :pimp: ? :P
