Garzol 40 Posted August 19, 2013 You don't have to edit that one at all, you could if you prefer dds-file, or you could just edit the SplashScreen.xur and add whatever you want there. I edit dds-files with Photoshop with the Nvidia Texture tool, keep in mind that dimensions of your image (if you're going to use the dds-file) need to be "powers of 2", so resize it to that. Some examples would be 256x256, 512x2048, 1024x512, etc. Although dds-files could be in other dimensions, but they would look rather bad, an example would be the coverflow in FSD, their dimensions are not powers of 2. But the reason they choose to use dds there I guess would be because they load ALOT faster than any png/jpg image Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PSXDupe 0 Posted September 23, 2013 You could open the splah screen xur file and change the image to a PNG and then use any PNG file instead. I've done that with a skin I'm working on, much easier to mess around with background then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
