That sucks, i cant see your video.
Its been awhile sence i used photo shop. I use Paint.net and Gimp But if i recall there is no need to change the bitt for .dds. Load defaults. both your pics are correct.
-So FOR CAMOS make sure you select SAVE AS
-DDS
-NO ALPHA (in photoshop)
-NO MIPMAPS
Your file should be slightly larger than the original at this point.
-convert back to .iwi
-open the original in HxD highlight the first two lines
-right click and copy the first two lines
-open your modded file in HxD
-HIGHLIGHT THE FIRST TWO ROWS
-now right click and paste insert
-Find a 00 byte and right click copy it
-then in the third line PASTE INSERT it four times 00 00 00 00
so you will ADD 00 00 00 00 not copy over.
-scroll to the bottem and highlight and cut the last for bytes
-SAVE IN HxD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now with crc32 fixer you can drag the original file to ORIGINAL and the other to new and click fix it or w.e. crc32 has. once the green bars full its done.
copy your new file and paste in your iw_7. Files should be exactly the same size.
I dont use CRC32fixer i use PEiD. drop your original file on peid. go to CRC32 and highlight and copy the current crc32. exit.
now drop the new file on it and crc32. then paste the original CRC32 to the open space and click fix it, copy it to you iw_7. files should be the same size.
-CAMOS: no alpha, Generate mip maps.
-SKINS: 5intergrated alpha, No MIP MAPS
- does not allways work this way
- after a .dds save your new file should be slightly larger than original
- based on what content you add these rules may change
- mip maps are the key. just check the size after you save your .dds
- Too many layers to save- erase alpha layer, if alph is required still save as 5 integrated if not no alph or 1 alpha depending on your editing softwere.
