KSP cannot load DDS textures without mipmaps.

[shaw]

KSP 1.0 fails at loading DDS textures without mipmaps (disregard TextureReplacer, this also happens if I remove the DLL).

[LOG 13:10:29.562] Load(Texture): TextureReplacer/Default/HUDNavBall
[WRN 13:10:29.594] Texture load error in 'C:\KSP-test\GameData\TextureReplacer\Default\HUDNavBall.dds'
[LOG 13:10:29.616] Load(Texture): TextureReplacer/Default/IVANavBall
[WRN 13:10:29.654] Texture load error in 'C:\KSP-test\GameData\TextureReplacer\Default\IVANavBall.dds'

These textures are also missing in the game database later. Some textures shouldn't have mipmaps (e.g. navball, flags, UI icons etc.) and DDS better format than PNG since its not "shadowed" in RAM. You should consider converting flags and icons to DDS as well.

Here are the affected textures, they will probably help you with debugging:

This worked fine with [thread=96729]DDSLoader[/thread], you can check its source code if it helps you fixing this issue.

CORRECTION: Mipmaps are not the issue, KSP cannot load non-compressed DDS files.

Here an example of a DDS loader for KSP that can also load non-compressed DDS files. As a bonus, it also uses an unused bit in DDS flags to keep certain textures readable.
