In the .iff, do you have changing the name of the .png file ? Looks if the name of the .png file is the same inside the .TXT

Yes, watch the .dds *

for exemple, if its:

chr_g1970.dds
open the TXT and look the "Binary" line and then need to be "chr_g1970.dds"

Whats the software you use ? Photoshop, Paint.NET ? Be sure you have the good .dds extension for save the file with the good .dds format. When you have it, i recommended the DXT5
