livery_converter.ps1

### Script for quick X-Plane livery iteration
### Runs DDSTool.exe to convert specified PNG files to DDS and saves them to the
###  current livery's directory in the X-Plane directory, so all you have to do
###  after running it is to reload the file in XP using the texture browser.
###
### This script needs to be customized for every livery you're working on.
###  To do so, enter your xptools path and livery output directory path in their
###  respective variables, and the full paths for each PNG file to convert and 
###  move in the $fileList array.
###
### I'd also recommend renaming the script per-livery, if you plan to keep them
###  in a central location.


## Set these variables to match your particular setup and livery!
# Add your list of PNG files, with fully qualified paths (unless you run
#  the script from the livery's objects folder). Any number can be added, comma-
#  separated.
