Graphics formats

Notes on Graphics formats in CFS3 and which are supported by my programs. "All Programs" means any program that uses mwgfx.dll (show, tview, convim etc) plus DXTBmp.

Make sure you have the latest versions of programs and dlls before experimenting. I have tweaked a few things to accommodate CFS3 better.

Format	Used For...	Read	Write
DDS DXT1	Aircraft and general textures	All Programs	DXTBmp
DDS DXT3	Aircraft and general texttures	All Programs	DXTBmp
DDS DXT5	Effects textures	All Programs	DXTBmp
Other DDS Formats	Not used by default but seem to be supported	All Programs	DXTBmp
BMP 444-4	UIRES	All Programs (DXTBmp will only read Power-of-2 images correctly)	DXTBmp (with Alpha, power-of-2 sizes only) Show (use WindowsNT 16 bit 444. No Alpha) ConvIm (as Show)
