Probably simple question about the DDS format

[Jananton]

Hello Guys,

I was wondering what flavor(s) of the *.dds file format are accepted by KSP 1.0.4

Maybe it's on the forum here somewhere, but I couldn't find it, hence the question. ;-)

Also it would be nice to know what type of texture files should not be converted to *.dds? I know about icons, but maybe there are more no no's?

Greets,

You better use .dds type from DXT1 to DXT5 with alpha or no alpha channel, depending on the texture. Other formats usually take more RAM.

Hi Enceos,

Thanks for the info, that is right what I wanted to know.

I've found what seems a nice dds export format plugin for Gimp and want to make sure I use the right settings. ;-)

Greets,

Also mipmaps generations is sometimes (or maybe always) critical.

Well, that's something, mipmap generation that is, that is obviously useful for models and parts.

First though I would like to see what will happen to skybox textures since those are huge most of the time and the ones I found all seem to be in *.png format. Mipmapping those doesn't seem logical though. ;-)

Greets,
