EDIT menu>Preferences>Image Windows>Appearance To get rid of the annoying checker grid that you can see in my left image in first post of this thread do the following.ġ. Why you may ask.(go back read the mini essay again) So here are the solutions to my problem.as you can tell from reading above there are at least two parts to the issue.Īlways save the edited file to a different directory.never to the original fsx directory!
#GIMP DDS PLUGIN FNV TRIAL#
No big deal, but annoying in this day and age for a beginner like myself, who doesn't have a clue about this sort of stuff!(even more annoying that i had to bloodywell figure it out for myself after hours of trial and error importing and exporting to and from DXTBmp, comparing with the photoshop dds plugin, and opening aircraft in fsx to see what worked and what did not).
The default display settings are not right for editing fsx.dds files so you have to change em. Gimp in its default settings, quite frankly sucks for trying to load edit and save fsx.dds filetypes. If i was to take a stab at it i would say that the is meant to be an error message that pops up saying one cannot save directly to the fsx directory.i found saving to the desktop then manually copying the file over sorted this problem.Ģ.
#GIMP DDS PLUGIN FNV WINDOWS#
Gimp for some reason cannot remember that it is actually over writing the original file and so when you attempt to reload the file a few minutes later gimp keeps reloading the file it had in its own little file registry, which may or may not be the one fsx is using (even when that file has been deleted in windows explorer and no longer exists in the directory.don't ask me how in gods name it does that, but believe me it does!!!). There are two issues using gimp 2.8 in its "out of the box" format for editing fsx.dds files.ġ. I dont know if photoshop has a similar plugin, and/or if it encounters a similar problem with different compressions of dds images if it does have a dds plugin, but id really like to understand the problem and find a solution using GIMP as im sure it will be of help to someone else. is a dds dxt 5 and the other dds dxt 1 (at least i think that's what they are.im getting a little unsure now)Ĭan anyone with GIMP have a go at these and help me out please?
#GIMP DDS PLUGIN FNV ZIP FILE#
I have included the zip file containing two examples of the same image.1. I have tried removing the alpha channel, not sure if i have done it correctly as im new at all of this.in any case, it didnt help. You will notice in the attached image that the GIMP image on the left is showing a very low transparency/opacity setting and yet the exact same image opened in DXTBmp is displaying perfectly. dds dxt 5, GIMP displays it incorrectly again. I did a little experiment with the image and found that if i use DXTBmp to convertthe image to a. I cannot increase the actual transparency any higher as it is already at 100%. It appears as if the transparency is set to about 50% on the main surface image.
