Questions about the dds files

from GalCiv2 Forums
If I remember correctly the game converts the model textures to dds files on the fly. Would it help resource (memory) wise to include the dds files in the models directory so the game doesn’t have to convert them? If so what settings should I use when converting the .png file to dds? Thanks for any help in advance.

IIRC the few dds files included with the game are only because we could optimise them better manually. It really shouldn't make a terribly huge difference though if you just use pngs, as 90% of the textures in the game use them already.

Kryo, thanks for the reply.

So it wouldn't save resources or loading time if I included the dds files?

Not enough to make it worth the bother, at any rate.

Kryo, the man's "name" is Kryo. Come on people, you see his name in here every single day, so enough. It is spelled K-R-Y-O. If you can't remember how to spell his name, just think of this, the next time you screw up his name, he is going to make you CRY!!!!
