• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Batch processing with alpha included

Hello

I'm looking for a little software to convert bmp base textures with alpha textures resampled with TerraBuilder in dxt1. I have 2 folders and I have to mix the resulting files.

FSTextureConverter seems to be the good one, but I cannot obtain the alpha channel in the DXT1 bmp file.

bmp alpha are in 8 bit grayscale format
bmp base textures are in 24 bit format

What I have to o ?

Hi Michel,

Do you mean that you have seperate files for the alpha channel and for the normal image? I can't remember I have seen a batch tool for that, personally I always keep it in one file (and save in a format that stores the alpha channel). Then I use ImageTool in batch mode to make the DXT1 textures.
 
Hello

Sorry for the time to answer.

Yes I have two files for each texture square, normal (summer) and the alpha for transparency (water). I use Terrabuilder working from 2 or more texture files.

FSTextureConverter normally does the job to include the alpha textures files in the summer texture files, but it doesn't.

I will try to include the alpha big texture file in the summer big texture file before Terrabuilder do the multiple cut. But, if I remember well, it doesn't like that.

Anyway thanks for the support.
