BZ2 DXT Texture Generator updated

[Commando]

My two complaints regarding the current version.

1.  BZ2_DXT_Generator.exe does not automatically create the input directories when the user clicks the Start button.  Having these input directories created automatically would be helpful.

2.  The BZ2 folder, the input folder C:\src\BZ2\blah seems to be case sensitive.  The following was not detected by the .exe.

C:\src\bz2\data

but the following was

C:\src\BZ2\data

Update: posted a version 22 of dxtgen, released at the same time as 1.3ta5. v22 (and intermediate versions) have newer helper libraries, and has better support for upscaling 640x480 shell & loadscreen backdrops. This version also requires the Visual Studio 2008SP1 vcredist.exe, included as part of the 1.3ta5 download, or independently from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en .

Update: posted a version 23 of dxtgen. Has fixes for black areas of textures appearing transparent, especially when upscaled. Also has lots of options for tweaking textures, including at the per-mip level. See the BZ2DXTOptions.cfg in it for more info.
