If someone could explain why on most of the dds files on eq2 beta, there seem to be 4 different sets of everything. Would appreciatie it.

those are mip maps, whatever program you are using should ask if you want to display mip maps, say no.

DDS is also used for UI graphics as well. You can find some information about them on EQInterface.com since EQL reads them for interfaces as well now.

How do you program the MIP maps?

When I pop in a different image and quite obviously, it doesn't have the same dimensions as the other file, it's determining where the image's edges are before using whatever image is the background.

With T.King's permission, I'm using 2 of his books for the knowledge and spells inserts, but what happens is there is a jagged line of white on the top and the sides because of the original MIP map.

I'm currently using a plugin for photoshop to read and modify the DDS files.

Thank you
