Hi there!
I've been having a recurring issue when trying to import DDS texture files.
Normally, I have absolutely no issue importing DDS emission maps I've created (for glowing Vampire/Occult eyes - I posted these on Tumblr if you're interested), as an example of it working.
The texture size for these are 2048 x 4096 to be compatible with HQ mod (I do not have this mod installed).
I've been exporting them with Adobe Photoshop CS6 using the following settings:
However when I try to import a DDS file for the diffuse map of a new Eyebrow standalone, I keep getting an error message:
I don't understand why it doesn't work only in this situation, but it works in the other? I did everything the same.
Also tried again using the default 2048 x 1024, but got the same error message.
For the record, I am using the community tested version latest build (3.1.6.3), and I tried it with an older version and the beta version too, but got the same error.
I just want to know what I might be doing wrong or if this is some sort of glitch? Or do I need to change / update something?
I need to use DDS for this and not PNG, I can't seem to get decent-looking soft hair details using PNG as artifacts / squares appear around the eyebrows in-game wherever there is lower opacity. I read using DDS with Alpha would fix this issue.
Here are the files I've been using:
S4 Package (Eyebrow Standalone)
DDS Eyebrow Texture
Anyway, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help with this. I would be able to improve a lot of my mods if I can figure out how to do it properly!
