CC upload dosen't accept DDS files

[YoYo]

As it was in the subject.
No DDS = no mods for C2 .

Just reviewing the Diana folder:
1 - All the gauge faces are in *.bmp format. I successfully modified the AIS face and imported it into Condor 2 last night. I'm playing with the idea of making a flap ring.
2 - The skins are in DDS format but I have been able to load *.jpg files of my skins into Condor 2 with no problems. Not sure why because Condor team said DDS only on the skin. I was surprised Condor 2 allowed me to import it. It might be worth converting one of the cockpit item DDS files to a *.jpg file (copy & paste worked for me on the skin). I will try later.

I have used Paint Shop Pro ver 7 so far. Its an old piece of software.

Actually, using compressed formats other than DDS may decrease performance, as DDS is loaded as it is and is decompressed by the graphics card, but other formats need to be decompressed during loading.

Interesting. I'm not at all familiar with DDS. I can convert my jpg to dds and compare the framerates.

UPDATE: OK the jpg of my paint scheme was getting 210-220fps/ Converting the paint scheme to a DDS file resulted framerates in the 225-230 fps range. Both tests flying over Nephi and the only change was the skin. DDS conversion handled by Paint.net software using Cluster Fit DXT1. Saving as either DX3 or DX5 resulted in frame rates below 200

System is a Windows 10 64 bit / Intel i7 7700-3.6 Ghz / Nvidia GTX 1060 6Gb

With jpg or bmp You cant add alpha channel also.

Thank You, now it's work and I see meny new addons!

Please to add:
- pilot look (\Condor2\Planes\Textures), file dds: legs, head, Torso, P2Torso
- some of cockpits use two or more files, so for example for Diana-2 please add (so not only Cocpit.dds) dds like this: Cocpit, panel, panel-l

TY !

Hi
Unfortunately "Update/Modify your goody" doesn't work correctly.

I was trying to update my goodies and add another cockpit but I cannot do it. I can see only for Antares like on the screen

Cockpits for V2 bring some changes. In V1, you were invited to put all glider declinations in one single goody, because there was only 1 file per glider. In V2, this goody needs 1 to 3 files and each declination must go in a separate goody.
Please post again your cockpits, I will delete those who were uploaded before CC supports V2.

Id like to raport now it works (upload)! TY!

btw.

BOD1.
Just I'd like to add, here You have wrong names (external view, external view imperial instruments - it isn't true exactly 100%).
This can cause confusion. Meybe the good idea to add only the names: panel.dds, panel-l.dds ect (in every model this files can have different meanings). Thx.
