hello 1/i actually use DirectX compression tool from Microsoft Nvidia tool is not 'better', in fact there are several compression mode (best quality, production, poor quality) the default mode use a better quality than DirectX tool But even in default mode Nvidia tool is far slower than directx tool. Anyway, it's easy to switch between both engine compression, i can implement it in a future 6.x version BTW it seem that Nvidia tool don't have DXT2 compression option. 2/ will do 3/ actually i'am working to replace CDDS export and import engine because the actual engine inherited from CDDSBROWSER don't support DXT2 texture. it will be for a 5.x release (but not 5.1) Already in 5.1.0.2 beta: ------------------------ - Fixed CDDS catalog index management Now CDDS index management is generated and sorted like specified in config\graphics.cfg file from ED it means that NOW latest textures from latest patch will go to the GOOD PLACE ! (ie: F-15 texture bug) now you can check always CDDS checkbox in ADDON MANAGER, it will work fine. - Fixed an obvious bug about texture Some FC textures were not installed correctly in temptextures folder (lockon series) - Added a 'CFG' flag in ADDON MANAGER WINDOW White mean: no CFG/LUA modifications included in ZIP file Green mean: CFG/LUA modifications installed Red mean: CFG/LUA modifications not installed Yellow mean: CFG/LUA modifications not installed entirely - Added in ADDON MAKER, a CFG/LUA management windows, ENJOY ! it allow to ADD/REPLACE/DELETE KEY from SECTION/SUBSECTION in .cfg or .lua files useful when you need to add a new CDDS entry in \config\graphics.cfg During Mod installation with ADDON MANAGER, these key will be automatically "ADDED/REPLACED/DELETED" "after/before" "install/uninstall" - Fixed Chinese(simplified or not) support for Windows OS - Fixed Japanese support for Windows OS best regards Skypat ps: check your PM

Chinese bug fixed upcoming Modman 5.1 should work fine on Chinese Windows OS

Dev update 5.1 OK In addon maker window, in new CFG management window you will be able to - add/change/remove keys in a section or sub-section in example for adding a key for a new CDDS file in graphics.cfg files you may decide to do it - before install - after install - before uninstall - after uninstal during mod installation it's totally automatic but users can see what it will be modified work is actually done about 80% ++ Skypat
