here it is

Mememememimimime I Have found that GIMP and Paint.Net has errors in their compression algocodes..

Somehow the colors and dephs are bugging once you save them as DDS file Sad

This one gives me the best work basis, i think thats the same plug soqzunnie was using in his early m03.mix beta server..
I tried to save the files as lowest 128 color jpeg and after that into dds dxt1 compression, but the gimp fails big time.

Can't play the skins i made back then in 2003, even while the patch stationed no changes. There are bugs in 100% and crashes at 85% of any loaded import dds.

I guess i will have to use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 already installed on my OS!?

(------- Command Execution Failed -----------
Command Name: Format_DDS
Error Text: Plugin caused an access violation
) (n) freeware bugs me less but i am using the psp photox2 for compressing into the right dds packs.

That comment could refer to an older version of the plugin...

Anyway, I have been using that GIMP plugin to make DDS files for Apocalypse Rising and they have always worked fine.
