Pulling images from .dds and .tga files...

TyeJae · #1 01-16-2005, 10:52 AM

Ok the only way I have been able to insert images into my files is by having only one image per .dds or .tga and putting 0,0,165,160 for example for the location because I do not understand exactly what the 4 number mean. Is this location and size of image? I have been testing out some of sony's .dds files and looking at what they put for the four numbers but it makes no sense. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks in advance...

first two numbers are top left corner, last two numbers are bottom right corner.

each dimension must be a power of 2. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc.) A 64 x 256 DDS will work fine.

512x512 or 1024x1024 are most common. Save ad DX1 for lowest filesize.

all DDS images must be square. 512x512 or 1024x1024 are most common. Save ad DX1 for lowest filesize.

They don't necessarily have to be square, but each dimension must be a power of 2. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc.) A 64 x 256 DDS will work fine.
