Photoshop texture .dds config? - Spicy Cat - 09-07-2017

I'm making custom entities and static objects but Im having problems with the materials.

Im using photoshop cc 2015. When I export a texture, this config window appear:

I tried with some options but my material looks weird in lights, so what is the settings for a diffuse, normal and specular map?

I searched in Google but nothing helped me.

Thanks.

The wiki has a couple pages on this topic:

In general, you will use either DXT1 or DXT5 for your textures (depending on if there is transparency) and you will use 3Ds for normal maps. Normal maps require minimal tweaking and DXT1/DXT5 are fine with the default settings.

For specular maps, the alpha channel determines the specularity, while the color channels determine the tint of the shine.
