What should we be using to allow is to convert images made in GIMP or elsewhere to DDS and retain control of the Mip map settings so we can set them to 9 as in NWN2 standard practices?

I personally use the Nvidia console utility (nvdxt). I'm not at home right now, I'll send the download link when I'm back.

[Eguintir Eligard]

Home yet?

And here it is.

 

To use it, open an MS-Dos windows (I think the installer creates commands to open the terminal in the right directory), and although there are many options I finally only type:

nvdxt -file "<path of your files to convert>\<name or *>.tga" -outdir "path to put the dds files after conversion" -dxt5 -nmips 9

Tip to avoid typing "<path of your files to convert>": open the correct folder in the Windows Explorer, and copy the path (right click in the address bar). In the terminal, just right-click after file " and paste the path, then add "\*.tga"

 

 

I also posted the link on the vault, with some explanations on why it was necessary. If there are mistakes or more is needed, please feel free to correct me!

Thanks. I figure its time to put the proper LOD meshes and proper DDS mimaps on my works since they arent basic and for personal use anymore.

I use DDS Converter 2 for all my DDS conversion needs. 

 

I work with TGA images while I'm editing them, and convert to DDS once I'm happy with them.

And doesn't give you the option of mipmap count which defeats the purpose Danny!

[Eguintir Eligard]

Wait I might be mistaken it for dxt converter. So if this a front end do I need both?

[Dann-J]

And doesn't give you the option of mipmap count...

 

Yes it does:

Yes but question 2?

[Dann-J]

Yes but question 2?

 

I have an nVidia graphics card, so I don't know whether the converter has built-in nVidia capabilities, or whether it's using those already available on my machine.

[Eguintir Eligard]

Who doesn't!! I guess I'll run it first

I just found, it seems that the tool "DXTbmp" is able to create Mip maps, too. (Though I have not tested this feature, yet.)

 

Just click the "magnifying glass" at the bottom.

 

The tool can be found here:

That tool is trash that's the reason I made this thread to begin with. Control of mimap count!
