Standard DDS files can crash game

Txpple commented 6 months ago

Per the wiki at https://nwn.wiki/display/NWN1/DDS and if i recall one of the patch notes, NWN supports standard DDS if it is BC1 BC3 BC4 and BC5. When making a DDS in non-Bio format, the game hardcrashes when loading.

Cross linked to crash-analysis here: https://discord.com/channels/382306806866771978/1217908992794431649

To Reproduce

Place the tga and dds and custom plc_a01 (overriding armoir to a UV Sphere) file in development. Place the module in modules folder.
Load module which has the above. Game crashes.
Remove the DDS and confirm that TGA version loads fine.

The sample DDS was created with CompressionatorCLI using the following command: CompressonatorCLI.exe -fd BC1 textest01.tga textest01.dds. Creating a similar BC1 with standard build of Crunch crashes, too. Basically, its standard DDS stuff.

Have you tried crunch with the same file? Several tools that generate DDS files can generate ones that won't work due to newer or esoteric encodings.

Yes same issue with base crunch (https://github.com/BinomialLLC/crunch).

I'm using just the standard encodings like BC1 and BC3.

NWNCrunch does not crash, but it also does NWN header info on the dds.

nwcrunch doesn't add NWN headers anymore with the standard bat scripts.
