Actually, the DXT files are DDS files saved with additional headers per mipmap and the mipmaps are saved in reverse order in the DXT files compared to DDS.

The DXM files can be opened by notepad, as they are text.

DXG files I haven't figured out yet

Anyway, I have now upgraded my system. New: ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard AMD 3700+ NVIDIA Geforce 7600GT 2 GB internal memory Oblivon runs smoothly now with all knobs on! :D Speaking of games, We (Captain Corny, The Gee, Rogue and I) used to play Micromachines 2 against eachother, which was hilarious.

LOL. I was going to delete this. Now I just close it and remove the spammer's links. Nice one, Strobe.

Okay, I fixed it, I think. I tried it on a pak file and it repacked perfectly as expected. So, please go ahead and try the new plugin on the track you noticed crashed earlier.

You are really making good progress here, and I was right when I told Kamshaft the following in an email prior my request above: As for the other files, I have taken a look at them, but have not yet figured out exactly what they represent. Sure, there are graphics in there, and quite possibly DDS fi...

Guys, I have been away for a couple of days. But I looked at it now, briefly, and it seems the bug is that the plugin unstably leaves out the last file during repack, that would of course explain a crash. Rest assured that I will not rest myself until I have this solved.

Let's see I understand correctly....by handling you mean converting back and forth? So, we can import a TGA file, and your program would conver it into this propriatary DXT format? No, I meant, if they were DXT format without headers, I could write a plugin that could recreate the DXT by adding the...

Yes, I could probably write a plugin to handle these files.

Let's take a track as an example and please post it here.

Where did you put the dll ? What folder?

Hmm, what it does: it takes the path of the pak file you wish to create and if that path matches any path part of the files that you wish to insert it will remove that part. So,it depends where you save the pak. You can save it in the folder you wish to include, the pak file itself will be ignored i...

Ok, yet another version, this should fix the lot.

Check out the screen..spot the differences. The ert.pak is a recreation of the common.pak.

Ok, fixed another small thing. The previous version ignored zero sized files. Now it saves those as well.

Please provide the two files of the tracks , one that does show and the other that doesn't.

fixed (test it please)
