8.) if it is an internal DDS file, how do I calculate the dds file size which I obviously have to pass as width-parameter to SkinSize? If I loaded a DDS as BMAP* in-engine, how do I calculate it on-the-fly, can I use

Code:
long width,height; // original size of the bitmap
long bytespp; // original bytes per pixel (1..4)



from the BMAP struct for that?

9.) What happens if a DDS has mipmaps stored? Do I have to turn on the previously mentioned mips flag anywhere?
