  |the script take the .dds and not convert the png again if both exist(I remember having manually used "compare" to check if both the dds and the png looks the same, and if not i changed some names)<br/>
<br/>
notice that the normal maps are a particular case as you need to tell the effect the texture is dds with a line like:<br/>
<br/>
1<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
just be sure to include this in the normal map effects with png and it will be easier:<br/>
<br/>
0<br/>

about FG doing the dds conversion , nvcompress is told to be gpl compatible, but i'm not an expert here:<br/>

  |I think this is an inheritance from some other game engine using a different convention, and therefore from the authoring tools that were developed for such an engine (photoshop exporter plugins and the like). If indeed the FGFS DDS textures are only meant to be used in FGFS then this should be fixed at the conversion time. Otherwise, if  we want other applications to easily reuse the FGFS textures then it would be better to stick to the most common convention. But I think we all agree that the source for any DDS texture should be kept, which pretty much precludes importing ready made DDS textures from 3rd party sources. Incidentally I think importing DDS artwork from other sources should be discouraged, since it will most likely run afoul of the  licensing terms of the original copyright owner.
