Freelancer: HD Edition is a mod that aims to improve every aspect of the game Freelancer (2003) while keeping the look and feel as close to vanilla as possible.
The current image textures in missionvendor.txm and newsvendor.txm have been compressed to dds. The reason they were converted to dds in the first place was that they were previously 24-bit tga, which is unfortunately known to not look that good in Freelancer due to bad-looking colors. The downside with dds though is that the compression doesn't look that great with static images. Therefore, it might be a better idea to use 32-bit tga images instead. The only disadvantage with this is that it'll inflate the size of the textures significantly.
