Modding the strategic icons

Postby discoverer2k4 » 24 Apr 2013, 15:18

Hi,

I like the idea of maxareous' advanced strategic icons, but unfortunately I find it very ugly at a more or less standard resolution of 1920x1080 ... so what I'm going to try is... making my own "mod".

Now my question:
in which format do I have to save the dds textures of the icons in photoshop if I use the nvidia plugin?! I tried the dxt5 format but it tells me that the texture need to have another size (like 32x32, 16x16 and so on)

can somebody help me? :)
What is the best save process to have sophisticated icons?
