i can do what ever i want, anytime the same error. i use PhotoShop CS5 extendet with NVIDIA DDS-Plugin. In Paint.net i cant find a option for save in dds and option for R8G8B8, so i use PS. All settings i tried but error error error in LW if i select the texture as Base Texure in Paint Tool of Terrain editing. perhaps i do anything wrong on create texture? i use a jpg file (with 512x512 pixels) (4 test i make it in 1024x1024 .... same problem) and save it as dds (in PhotoShop with the dds-plugin) . In LW Terrain-Editor i create a terrain with Sculp, then i click on Tool PAINT from Terrain Editor Top Right , On right side of the TextBox, called Base Texture, i click on the button, navigate to the folder where the dds file is in and select the texture file (dds-file). Now, if i click Open, the error is coming. What do i wrong?
