Vehicle gun round selection icons

How on earth did you guys make 150x44 dds files??

[Fabien]

You can use GIMP or Photoshop with their DDS plugin

[Paasky]

No I can't, the size needs to be a ^2 (128x32, 512x512, 1024x2048, etc).

iirc all Hud related pictures are png´s renamed to dds

[Paasky]

Not according to Irfanview, it always tells me if an image is named wrongly (which it does for several FH2 dds files) but not these. In fact if I rename them to .png irfanview says they're wrongly named dds files. Photoshop also opens them fine using the dds plugin.

They are also the wrong filesize to be png's. Unless I'm missing something... I'll try it out anyway.

this png stuff is for minimap stuff. i missread your question. you mean the weapon ability icons. where you seöect a rifle for example? iirc they are packed on a atlas map. at least in fh2. so it doesnt matter how big they are because in the end the file will be packed on a bigger 2048x2048 texture.

  I think he is talking about gun rounds for the tanks and such (AP-HE PZG40).  But to be honest I try to avoid getting in Paaskys head.  It is a dark and scary place.

They're 8888 .dds files, which doesn't follow the power of 2 limitation IIRC. They're also generated into an atlas to save on drawcalls.
However, we should've just kept them all .tga files to simplify it, as they're converted into atlases in .dds anyway.

[Paasky]

Yeah, I'm making a Panzer I and it has normal MG & AP MG rounds.

Thanks kev, 8888 worked.
