About this mod
Simple batch script I made that converts images in a folder to DDS with DirectXTex TexConv.exe, a free DDS converter made by microsoft.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
If you would like to edit existing DDS images, paint.net https://www.getpaint.net/ is a free image editing program that can open and save DDS images.

Feedback appriciated, let me know if any features are missing, or any errors/mistakes encountered.
You can read more info on TexConv in the github wiki:
https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTex/wiki/Texconv
Script Formats:
You can change the @FORMAT variable to equal any of the formats listed below, let me know if any information I have is wrong or outdated.
BC7_UNORM - Optimized For SSE & Fallout 4 (BC7 Compressed)
BGRA - High Quality, Large Image File Size (Uncompressed?)
DXT5 - Legacy Low Quality Format, For Pre OldRim games* (BC3 Compressed?)
*The engine before OldRim A.K.A. Skyrim LE does not support the new BC7 format (Not the SSE or the special edition, that one does support BC7) So Oblivion, Skyrim LE, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, all use DXT1, DXT5, or BGRA formats since that's what DirectX9 was capable of back then.
Known Errors:
> Converting images with the same file name but different formats will be overwritten with the last image converted.
ex: converting test.jpg and test.png will create test.dds and test.dds, since there's already a test.dds, the png image will overwrite it thus the output will only have 1 converted image instead of 2.
Instructions:
1) Download the latest version of texconv.exe
https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXTex/releases
2) Download/extract my bat script
3) Copy/Move the texconv.exe & my bat script to a new empty/working folder with user permissions.
4) Double click the batch script to make the input and output folders.
5) Place your BMP, JPG, JPEG, PNG, DDS (yeah you can convert a DDS image to another DDS image), TGA, HDR, TIF, TIFF, WDP, HDP, JXR, PPM, or PFM images in the "InputImages" folder.
6) Double click the batch script again to convert the images in the "InputImages" folder to DDS in the "OutputImages".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the batch script reduced to 7 lines, it does not include the error check for texconv.exe that is in the main script.
As of v0.2 the script can now convert sub directories, this v0.1 script can only convert a single folder.

Changelog:
v0.2
- Added support for converting sub-directories, which will also have their folder structure preserved.
- Added BC7 Format Script
- v0.2.4 Changed BC7_UNORM_SRGB to BC7_UNORM due to strange color glitch
v0.1 - Made simple working batch script
I'm working on a scripted installer that makes scripts for the formats the user chooses configured with settings set by the user, but it will take a while to make all of the menus work together.
