Tank viewer/creator not working and the lack of a good DDS viewer/converter is what has kept me from my modding.

The following to link is for tank creator 2 works for iryan and myself using windows 7 however I needed to run it as administrator to get it to function.

I could not get tank viewer 2 to work, however I was able to get tank extractor to work once I installed java for windows 7
tank extractor is in the download area here http://www.siegetheday.org/?q=node/1348

Stupid Windows 7 does not have any idea what to do with Direct Draw Images. I have located several programs for windows 7 that allow you to view and convert DDS files into other formats but none that would allow me to convert a bmp, psd, Jpg into a DDS Image in the correct format for using it in a dungeon siege 2 mod.

I wonder what other people are using to do this? since there are several people who are still modding and using win 7 and win 8
I can use photshop image with alpha channel and not convert to DDS.

why invent an image format that did not exist prior to windows xp and dump it before windows 7 (I did no include vista because that was not really an OS)
