Any chance this could be some form of the DDS flags? I don't think so - it's (almost certainly) a floating point value of 1.0 (for the 3f800000 case) or less. In the OpenGL API, colors range between 0.0 and 1.0, so it may have something to do with the color values. I haven't had a chance to dig int...

<t>Thanks, MDA!<br/> <br/> I decrypted the first two dwords (those were obvious), and the 3rd makes sense (3 == 3 bpp RGB, and 4 for RGBA), as does the forth.<br/> <br/> However, the 5th word is 3f800000, not 0000803f (gotta swap bytes due to Intel endianness) - which is the floating point value 1.0...

<t>Bannor - yep, I know it's a lossy algorithm. I had the "pleasure" of having to learn the algorithm some time ago for work, and I've experimented with writing RGB to DXTn optimization algorithms (minimum loss conversions, that sort of thing). I'm not interested in converting back-and-forth, fortun...

What is the DDS format used by NWN1?

<r>Hey, all. Glad to see you're still here and alive <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> I've been tinkering with my own "facelift" of Neverwinter Nights, working on a modernized game engine that can use NWN assets (since they're mostly well-documented and easy to verify against a known-good renderer), but I'd lik...

Hmm, didn't know about Stilgars' stuff until now - will check it out. Thanks! I've been using the Epsilon emacs editor from http://www.lugaru.com/ . Not cheap (work bought mine :) ), but very extensible if you've got the patience to write rules for it (assuming the rules it already has are insuffic...

Raphael de Almeida Müller

<t>Hey, all - Raphael posted a new track, "Rough Seas", on the Vault a while back. I gave it a listen and sent him some feedback, and he's worked on a few change to make it a much better sounding mix. I'd suggest it as an addition when we're ready to add tracks. It'd work well for a storm at sea, or...

<r>[QUOTE=Shioni;7657]The padding idea is really nice, but since CMP doesn’t need to update as much I don’t see why we should make everyone manually delete all the current tracks and down load again. Pulse you might as well be doing the whole d@m thing from scratch since all the names would have...
