hey everyone , used in my 2d games ,so i download some *.dds files . it's all about animations of sprite. but ....it's up side down in DirectX Texture Tools, Is there a way to correct it??? thanks:)

If you can't find an easier way, you can:
1. Open the dds file in the Texture Tool
2. Click View->Alpha Channel Only
3. Save the file as *originalName*alpha or something similar
4. Convert each file to .bmp
5. Open the files in Photoshop or a similar program
6. Flip the images (I don't know about Photoshop, but Paint Shop Pro lets you easily flip an image) and save the .bmp files
7. Create a new texture with the Texture Tool with the same dimensions as the original .dds file and load the non-alpha fliped .bmp image onto it, then the fliped alpha .bmp image onto the alpha channel of the texture

I just tried this on my computer with Paint Shop Pro, and it worked.

I know what is suggested is long, and there might be a shorter/easier way, but if there is, I don't know it.

Yeah, if you can afford Photoshop.

If you can't (like me), you're out of luck with this. I tried using this with other art programs, like Paint Shop Pro, which from what I've heard is supposed to be able to use it (even though it's for Photoshop) and it doesn't work.

Of course, if you can afford Photoshop, it's much easier that way [smile].

try paint.net
