This should describe the steps you'll have to follow in order to create DDS files suitable for use in your Dark Mod maps.

You'll need ATI's "The Compressonator" application version 1.21.1044 with this exact version - other (newer) versions will not work! Install/unzip it to a folder and create a shortcut if you like.

Settings for Diffuse/Specular Maps

  • Open your source (TGA) file
  • Create Mip Maps using the Box-Filter with the lowest mip map size of 1x1.

  • Compress the Image
  • Save your DDS
