A while ago, while browsing the Orbiter directory, I found the DxTex.exe tool, and I opened texture files successfully.
Now, I'm trying surface base development with the Surface Base Wizard 1.3b. It seems that everything works, apart from the fact that runway segments window always displays "Run-time error '481': Invalid picture" and then closes SBW when I try to add a runway segment. I've also tried opening other base ".cfg" files with it, and when I click on a runway segment in the runway segments window, it also displays the same message before crashing the program.
Then I noticed that my DxTex.exe can no longer display ".dds" files correctly. After I open a ".dds" file in DxTex, only a black rectangle shows up. Same happens with opening ".bmp" files in DxTex. I've downloaded and extracted a clean Orbiter installation, and I also tried to open ".dds" files with the "clean copy" of DxTex, but it also displays the file as a black rectangle.
What's the problem here? I'd really like to join the community of Orbiter add-on developers but I'm getting stuck at even the first basic step
EDIT, I've searched the forum for "dds" but the various results, although very interesting, did not answer my question...
