You're doing something wrong when saving the dds file. It's not showing in game and it opens as black in Photoshop.
What are your settings?

All is working fine i don't know what are you doing

 

[Matthew Allington]

This is quite the intriguing mystery, better than some of the **** I've resorted to watching on Netflix whilst I'm stuck at home!

I’ll let you know tonight if you don’t mind, I’m not at home right now. I’ve switched on the newest nvidia developer tools on my new pc, and I’m having quite a tough time understanding the right saving settings. Thanks for the help!

That must be it, maybe they introduced some kind of better compression or something, I haven't updated that in ages.

DXT5 rarely fails for me.

If the newer version of the plugin introduced some changes to the format, that might be it. These are the settings I use and never an issue.

yeah I’ve always used these settings as well. But the new plugin as an entire different saving graphics, I’ll make a screen later in the day.

Here I am

these are all the options.
I've used "BC3 RGBA 8 bpp | interpolated alpha"

GIMP is more easy for save a file directly in the right format.

Eww, wtf is that? Given that BC3 is the equivalent of DXT5, at least in GIMP speak, this might be an inherent issue with the new NVIDIA tool. Now here's my suggestion;

1. Install GIMP
2. Install DDS plugins for GIMP
3. Open PSD file in GIMP
4. Export to DDS DXT5 format

AS KIMI WOULD SAY

F****NG FINALLY

It looks very good and all, and I know I will sound like a pain in the ass, but....

You can change the steering wheel logo and the seatbelts brand by using these maps as a guide (they're uncompressed DDS)

drive.google.com

Also, might want to consider offering a high res version of the skin, saved in ARGB 8,8,8,8, as the DXT5 compression kills the black adding these weird green spots

Do you think you could ever release your Firestone tires as a standalone mod? They look great.
