It's crashes when it tries to conver this file.

That's because it's not a dxt file, but a dxg file!

Here's a new version with command line support.

Still win32 environment though, it's not a real command line program, but it'll work.

Read the readme.txt for details.

Thanks for making it command line capable.

Of course there is always "one more thing". It has one problem running it from the command line. It displays a message box before it finishes. I ran it on 1200 files. On around 150 or so it started getting errors, because I had 150 instances running with 150 message boxes.

How about a /s switch (silent) ? Does it return a return code if it fails?

Thanks,
Bruce

Oh god, I had forgotten to remove that message box (it was only for debugging purposes)!!!

I have removed it now. The program will return an errorcode if there are any.

Get the attached new version!

If I try to convert a non DXT file the program tells me that it's converted, there's no error message.

Might want to look into that.

Thanks, I'll check it out tonight.

Well, making the program idiot-proof has not been my priority. That's a chore. And chores are done following the rule:

Code: Select all

If TotalTime>TimeNeededForImportantStuff & Satisfied(Relaxation)=True Then PerformChore(NextChore)

The readme states one can convert DXT2DDS and vice versa. It doesn't mention other files.

Kam, How many non-dxt files to you have lying around with a dxt extension?

Mr. Mouse, I ran it on a directory of 601 DXT files and it successfully converted 552 of them. 49 files it did not create a DDS file for.

That's interesting. Can you attach a few examples of those that were not converted?

After playing with it some more about 40 of the files that it wasn't converting were random. I slowed down the process and it would then consistently convert the same files and not convert 10 of them. I guess you must be using a temp file that's the same name or something like that, so depending on how fast you run it it might be stepping on itself.

I slowed it down by moving the conversion into a seperate batch file and adding a check for errorlevel.

I've attached the 10 files that it doesn't convert. The files that I was converting are all from the vehicle texture part of MVA.

Those are an Uknown type so it does not know what to do with it. 55

Data inside files looks pretty worthless to me

Seems like the dxt2dss converter has a bug, it seems to currupt the alpha channel, everything else is fine. Any ideas?
