You can but the only way to make a new hud is by first opening the ORIGINAL hud and then modifying that then saving it as DXT2.

There is no case in Renegade where someone would choose DTX2.
Dunno where you got that idea from.

Look at the table over here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3TC
For a hud you should used DTX5.

The blurry, blocky crap is part of dtx's nature. There's no way to avoid it. Unless you use uncompressed .tga textures, but Renegade won't use them when you put them in your data folder.

It would use them if there isn't a .dds version available as it prefers compressed textures.

Just to clarify i know how to make huds , i know what dxt to use ,
but when i save my custom hud.dds the quality is poor.

the old version of DXT plugin works for DXT1 skins but fails to save DXT5

Upload one of those textures with "poor quality" so we can see what you mean with that.

Also, this tool might be useful
