Creating high quality serverInfo.dds icons
Posted: Fri Oct 01, 2021 4:20 pm
Hi all,
I'm having difficulty creating good looking serverInfo.dds icons for my mod. It seems that the best I can get is an ugly, pixelated 16x16 icon. I am using GIMP. Basically I have a 1024x1024 px PNG with transparency, my logo, that I am trying to rescale to 16x16 in GIMP. I then export it to DDS with DXT1 compression and no mipmaps, and the resulting icon is the right size, but not as sharp as other mod icons (RTR and SW for example).
Does anyone use GIMP to generate serverInfo.dds icons and if so, would you be able to share a template to help me out please? Or any other advice that would be helpful.
Thank you,
Diamondback
