bmdview generates luminance DDS textures even though Blender does not support them #12

The supplied bmdview.exe defaults to DDS instead of TGA. If a model contains a luminance-only texture, it gets exported as a luminance-only DDS which seems to be unsupported by many tools, including Blender itself, so they are broken after importing the model using blemd.

The luminance-only textures work fine when using TGA instead of DDS (after fixing issue #11).

I have played around a little with the import options regarding image type and they seem to behave oddly. It seems like all the options result in the same imported model, which has embedded DDS images (of which the luminance-only ones don't work). The option "targa files" actually generates the correct TGA files in the Textures folder, but they are not used in the model. I actually had to change bmdview to output only TGA files in order for blemd to import and use them in the model.

I just noticed that I didn't give you nearly as much answers as I probably should. Sorry. So, the biggest thing is that most of the options concerning the have been revamped. However, I still have to make sure every outputted image format is accepted by blender itself. I hope this covers the questions you had left. Have a nice day !

This is still true.

What is still true? The fact that some images can be generated in a format blender doesn't know about?
