.DDS file not working

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/.DDS file not working

Hi, got a slight problem here. I can't seem to load dds file format for textures in blitz3d...

I'm using 3d studio max 8 and the b3d pipeline to export my model and texture. In the first place I used a png texture file and it worked fine. Then I switched to using the dds format (because of its smaller file size) of the same texture, and when I export the model and view it in blitz the texture isn't showing up.

I searched through the forums and it seems that blitz 3d can support dds files. But I can't seem to get the texture to show up. Anyone have the same problem?

Cheers

the problem is, that b3dpipeline doesnt support dds. so you have to load and assign the dds textures manually in blitz.

its a well known (and annoying) issue...
