How to edit/create numbers texture in photoshop?

[Krasniye]

Hey all,

 

I have done a bunch of liveries in the past, however they all used default or no numbers that appear and change in game. The reason for this is the livery didn't call for it or the simple fact that I have no idea what to do with the numbers. They always break when I save them like a traditional texture and I can't seem to modify them in anyway.

 

To make textures I use the Nvidia .dds tool for photoshop, can anyone provide some insight?

Make sure you're saving as DXT5 w/ Alpha Channel.

 

Alpha Channel should have Black Background and White Numbers,

RGB Channel should be a Solid Layer of the color you want the numbers to be.
