I prefer to use Irfanviewer
because it has a tumbnail version where you click on the folder and all the picture comes up instead of clicking on each file

saves time too!

Edit: when your done installing just click on irfanviewer thumbnails icon (just incase you dont know what to open - has a panda as the icon) o and DOWNLOAD THE PLUGIN ON THE WEBSITE or you cant look at dds files

windows texture viewer is nice because you can just scroll through them with the wheel on your mouse :P and you can also switch it to only show the alpha channel (has to do with what co shows in the game and what is discarded)

check out the attached pic if your mouse has a scroll wheel it will cycle through all the pics in the selected folder (up at the task bar it tells you where you are)

good job =P gonna make more effects? lol like phoenix =PPP for swords

havent seen the effect for sword phoenix yet... this is the closest ive gotten, can anyone tell me if this looks right? (its in effects/flysword)

[lilxshadow]

a quick question to dds editors: what programs do you use and are there specific settings for it to work?

[username1]

:P that allows you to open dds files in photoshop and from there you can edit them fairly easily (you cant draw completely new things though, you have to edit coloring and such on the one layer. if you make a new layer it screws up)

[BadBoY_AC]

photoshop... and a plugin for .dds.... ^^

its on the 1st page ^^ and no thats not phoenix-skill...



btw, NEXT TIME use edit
