New DDS Save format

Unread postby harryadkins » Wed Apr 04, 2012 8:34 pm

I've reskinned several of Dick Cowan's boxcars from the freeware packages with good success. However, when I recently tried to reskin his Single-sheathed boxcar in the updated Kit 03 Rolling stock freeware package, I ran into an unknow graphics format. When I converted the TgPcX to DDS in RW Tools, it shows the converted file as a ARGB 8.8.8.8 with 11 Mip Maps. I use Paintshop Pro 7.0 along with the Nvidia DDS file package and it doesn't have an ARGB 8.8.8.8 save option. I have included a photo of my save options. Does anyone have suggestions to my problem?

ARGB 32bit is what you are looking for.
