VT level11-12 images creation problems

Sorry: my experience is that you can't mix JPEG and DDS image formats in a VT.

Celestia (actually your graphics card) should be able to display the 24bit DDS formats. I don't know if the different DDs formats can be mixed.
use
nvdxt -u8888
instead of
nvdxt -dxt3
or
nvdxt -u888
instead of
nvdxt -dxt1

Sorry for the negative answer, but happy for the information, I'll try it. :wink:

Thanks a lot, Selden.

Well, I followed all the instructions, used .bmp images as start point, saved results as nvdxt -u8888 .dds files (using PhotoShop CS2), but there is no evident improvement in image quality at level12. :cry:

Now I'm downloading with eMule the JMII_DDS_Levels8-12_250_56.zip file, and with this I'll make some further check.

I don't give up, one day or another one I'll obtain my wished results. :wink:

Bye and thank you.

Oh, you are right Mauricio99, I did, but I was taken by the new Mars textures by Don, so I forgot to spread these. :oops:

OK, I have prepared a .zip file, about 16 MB, containing the level 11 and 12 that must go with all the other levels in BlueMarble DDS directory.
Obviously you'll need Kinderino's Venice levels 6-10 too, that you can find in Motherlode.

I don't know when my file will be available there, anyhow, don't forget this is Holidays Time! :wink:

I'll edit this post when will be ready for download
Enjoy, and Happy New Year! :wink:

Bye

Don't bother replying to Mauricio whatever.
It is a flood bot. Posting all over the place.
Look at its signature :wink:

Oh, thank you Boux, now I see it. :oops:

Anyhow he had a positive effect with me, because now I'll upload my Venice VT textures. :wink:

Bye and Happy New Year.
