SaveBuffer function doesn't support dds?

[ArBuZ]

Hi!

As I understand I can't save buffer as dds. Only jpg TGA and png. Just wondering why would I need this function if I don't have ability to use result in the engine?

How do you guys convert any kind of images in code while game is running? I need to save buffer to file on hdd. And then later use it in game (Load/Save images).

Thanks in advance.

Since a buffer's contents is a texture, you can just use the texture directly instead of saving and reloading it.

Yes. But I need it after game is restarted. I wanted to make skreenshots for saved games.

I can live without it But anyway it would be a nice feature if SaveBuffer supports dds. Ill post it in feature reques if you don't mind.

How about saving it as png and then using the freeimage lib to convert it to dds? Of course it would be nice if Josh includes the dds saver but in the meantime this might be a solution.
