[MDL ED] Texture shows up fine in model editor but not in game

[The chaser]

Umm, what difference is their if I use a "png" or a "dds" for the file format for the diff/norm/spec maps? I can understand jpeg can't store transparency values or other formats might be to large.

The .dds files allow to make Mipmaps. These increas performance when in-game:

When you are near, very near, the game loads the biggest texture. When you go far, as not that much quality is needed, the game loads a smaller pic that looks the same but that is good for performance.

Man, you have given me the solution for a problem.
