Yet again.... Alpha channel!

[anglosaxon]

sorry about this, i hope this'll be the last question....
suppose you have a .dds file (for example obamaface.dds) that has no alpha channeling on it, and you add an alpha channel on the arm, will the arm dissapear when you use that texture? it works for flagicons_icons000.tga.

Most likely yes. - Mostly with . files, what works for one, also works for all the others.


So, if editing a PNG lowers the quality, it usualy will do so for all the other PNG files

If adding an Alpha channel / Transperancy layer to a dds file hides parts, it will do so for others.


I don't know much about DDS, but as I recall, it's like a TGA, but with built-in MIPmaps.


I could explain better, but google is your friend.
