ok well I got one step out of the way, figuring out how to save .dds files; which I don't know if I need a specific save setting when I do save it or just pick w/e I feel like based on common graphic knowledge.
Anyways I load up FFXIV bar you made with the EQ2 UI Builder. Then I see all the garble on the left hand side.
FFXIVStyles
- FFXIVBars
-- CpBarBgFull
- HpBg
-- HpBarBgFull
etc etc; which i know are the parent and child directories. I guess the only way i can create or edit those is directly through the XML file? because with the EQ2 UI thing I see nothing that allows me to add/remove or edit those.
Anyways other than that problem I separated the image into several images to put into the folder where you had the original image at. I saved them all as .dds files and well when I pull them back up they are all black/blank images. Not a damn thing of the actual image is saved.
The image itself in photoshop is composed of layers, with the background image disabled since I want that part transparent. The save settings I used were:
Palette RGB 8 bpp | 256 colors - no MIP maps - 2D Texture
using Nvidia dds format v8.23 plugin
