Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

[pocz]

I used "texconv.exe" to batch convert a bunch of images from PNG to DDS.
With this code in the CMD:

Code: Select all

texconv -r "C:\png images\*.png" -o "C:\dds images" -m 1 -f DXT1

"-m 0" - means default number of mipmaps for the image,
"-m 1" - means one image
"-m 4" - means the image and 3 mip map levels.
-r is read from
-o is output
When not specyfying "-f DXT1" the default compression will be used. The output file will be big (useful for small UI icons).
"-f DXT1" is DXT1 compression method. It gives the smallest output possible (I think). No alpha is stored.
"-f DXT3" is good for images with sharp transitions from no-alpha to maximum transparency, like in GIF's.
"-f DXT5" is good for store all levels of transparency in an image. But the size of the file is the biggest of all the 3 lossy compressions.

I'm not sure, about this, but the width and the height has to be divisible by 4(?)
I'm not an expert about compressions. I'm only a user of the available tools.

XnConvert has no options when exporting into DDS.

DDS has a lot more compression options, but these are the basics. Just look how many exporting properties for DDS GIMP has. You don't need any extra plugins (since 2020).
