DXT Converter

Postby swayne01 » Thu Dec 22, 2005 1:36 pm

Hi,

I have a load of 32 bit repaints of an aircraft and would like to convert them to DXT3. Is there anyway off doing this quickly as the only way i know of is by using DXTBmp and that take a very long time (as you have to open each file individually).

Many Thanks

If you use the mouse it takes time, but if you learn the shortcut keys it only takes a couple of seconds each.  For instance, hitting alt-F will open a 32-bit file.  After the first 4 or 5 times, you learn which keys to press and you don't even think about it any more.

How many files are you talking about?

Mr. Apoo (I love that name . . .) is correct.

using imagetool allows you to open more than one file at once and I find it to be much quicker,

Where can I get Imagetool from?

Also I heard you can batch process them. Anyone know how?
