Removing MIP maps?

Postby G-force237 » Mon Sep 01, 2003 8:36 am

ok I know this question has been posted up alot on this forum, but I could not seem to find any old thread that answered my question.

How do I take off MIP maps using Dxtbmp?

thanks for any help.

Start DXTBmp & click Prefs. Uncheck the "Include Mips" option.

Copied from DXTBmp Help.
All extended image formats are saved with Mips. This may be switched off during the current session from the Prefs menu but will revert back to On the next time you start DXTBmp. It is recommended that you only switch this off when you have a particular need. All the Flightsims are designed to run best with mipped images for most textures.

Thanks, but I do not have that option under my prefs minue, I have already tried unchecking the option "use dither with enhanced MIP", but in the game the textures still show up fuzzy untill I zoom in really close :-[

here is a screen shot of what I am talking about.

G-force. From your shot you have an earlier version of DXTBmp. (4.00.46)
Try the latest version here. http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm
