Help IWI Header
#1
Is there any way to see what format of DDS is in a IWI file (Like DXT1 or DXT5) ? Well if anyone know please tell me.

Sure,

here is snippet from my code.


Code:
    struct IWIHeader{
        BYTE DTX_Type;
        BYTE flags;
        short x;
        short y;
        short misc;
        int blockoffsets[4];
    };

    struct IWIHeader_MW2{ // mw3 also
        short dunno;
        short dunno1;
        BYTE DTX_Type;
        BYTE flags;
        short x;
        short y;
        short misc;
        int blockoffsets[5];
        int dunno2;
    };

Code:
    enum{
        IWI_ARGB8 = 1,
        IWI_RGB8,
        IWI_DTX1 = 11,
        IWI_DTX3,
        IWI_DTX5
    };

Thanks both im just trying to make a iwi fixer/header creator so if the size or resolution of the iwi file is more then the game doesnt crash. What does that mean? well its not much useful, but if developed correctly with this we could do a plugin to create iwi's directly or do a HD texture pack.
