Version 6.0.0.0

This program was written as a tool to try to understand the IWI file format.

It does a great job of converting IWI files to DDS files.  Most of the data you see in the window will not be meaningful or relevant to most of you and can be ignored.

Features: updated

• Converts almost all IWI files to DDS files (only 14 files from CoD2 won't convert, about a dozen from CoD4 won't convert. Look for an update.)
• Drag and Drop interface.
• DDS files go into same folder that the IWI files came from or you can specify an output folder.
• Double click a file in the list to convert it. (If you have a default DDS viewer, it will also launch it.)
• Batch convert dropped files by checking the "Convert dropped files" checkbox.
• DDS image preview.
• Save the preview to (    bmp, jpeg, gif, OR png)  in addition to the DDS file
• IWI image preview.

Windows Explorer integration:

Double clicking an IWI or DDS file will bring up the image preview.
