[Question]dxCreateTexture mipmaps

[IIYAMA]

In dxCreateTexture there is an argument called mipmaps. It will generate multiple copies in different resolutions, so that it looks good.

If I create these mipmaps manually, do I have to enable or disable this option? (dds (image) files can have mipmaps included)

element dxCreateTexture ( string pixels [, string textureFormat = "argb", bool mipmaps = true, string textureEdge = "wrap" ] )

element dxCreateTexture ( string pixels [, string textureFormat = "argb", bool mipmaps = true, string textureEdge = "wrap" ] )

Best way would be to test and find out yourself.

How can I test that?

Lookie and have a see if the mips show.

hmm I was thinking about checking the memory(mipmap textures are bigger) or the load time(generating mipmaps cost more time).

@CodyJ(L) But scaling down the images(in game) should work even better! Thx thx!
