Flicker and shimmer after converting to DDS

[Quekel]

Hi All,

 

I've converted skins i've made with GIMP to BMP and then to DDS, but when ingame there is much more flicker and shimmer then on the default skins.

What am i doing wrong ?

By the sounds of it, you haven't enabled mipmaps when saving. For whatever program you are using, there should be the option to include mipmaps when the saving window appears.

Ahh yes, I saw the option and didn't click it :) I'll try it when home tonight! Thanks alot

dont know why, but this helps only partially - in my experience. . .

Worked perfectly! Exported to 24bit BMP and used DXTBMP tool to convert to DXT5 with mipmaps. Thanks alot!
