BC7 is fine enough. I recommend using AMD's Compressonator for generating the BC7 textures. The quality compression loss is barely there, and the benefits are much higher. You can counter it by using a high enough resolution for your textures.

As for a DDS conversion tool. Use Bighead's Custom Texture Tool. You can't get easier than that. I usually just let it batch process the conversion at night. But that's just really only if ya have tens of thousands of textures like I do.

Trust me, if you intent stick to PNG only you risk losing out on a great deal of your userbase. But it's your pack, so I can't force ya to do it (through it goes against my instincts when I happen to see someone do it this way lol).

Also, don't throw away the PNG pack in favor of a DDS pack. Keep both and share both. The PNG pack is perfect for keeping source material.

The only reason I am offering advice is because your DM me and contacted me on Discord and asked me for assistance there.

because why does everyone then need to know i DM'd you? think about it, how would you feel if someone went around talking about your private conversations publicly without your consent, it would be intrusive and disrespectful to you. well guess what? the same thing applies to me. because thats private information shared between two people and nothing more. 

if I wanted people to know I would have posted this on my own thread instead of messaging you privately. also i was trusting you to keep that information confidential, instead you have the audacity to try and use that information publicly to humiliate me and prove some point on my own thread and judge my decision making and then try to make me look like some sort of fool to everyone here, and then justify it with your knowledge against mine. im aware i dont know half the stuff you know and im sure what your suggesting works quite well
 
but im just too busy to deal with it right now. and honestly if people know what to do already what works best, then whats stopping them volunteering to do it themselves? and im sure anyone with the time to spare can do this easily, again its optional and im not demanding anyone to do it for me, they may be busy as well. so why is it my solemn duty to do it if im just as busy as them?

also your asking whats wrong with telling people that you dm'd me? ill tell you its very rude! Now people will get the wrong impression of me, based on how you twisted this argument we had around, im only new here and not well known. the last thing i need is someone like you challenging me on my own thread. Think about it, would you let your neighbor go into your letterbox then walk outside the front of your home and read your private mail out loud to the public? no you wouldnt allow that! it would be intrusive, thats how i felt you handled this. 

also i see what your trying to do, its very sneaky first your provoking me so i react then you can use that to justify your point of view to everyone else. your trying to turn this whole argument around and make me out to be demanding of you and im not demanding at all! i want to make that clear to you. now people that haven't bothered to read the lead up will pass judgement on me, based on what you last said to me. 

also they will side with you because your well known and i am not. 

also you insisted on the .dds pack and I thanked you for the advice, i acknowledged your expertise but you had also said that it was up to me and like i said to you i considered it, but then i chose not to. you diddnt bother to think from my perspective for once maybe ive run out of space and i have no way of storing it. or maybe i cant do that just yet i have other priorities problems to fix etc. like i said many times im very busy.

i said to you many times im too busy to do this, yet you insisted. To be clear i diddnt get angry that you declined making a .dds pack when i asked if you would do it. i just felt if it was so important to you, then you would be kind enough to help me out. but like you said its my project and were all very busy and that's fair enough. if we are so busy then why have we been arguing about this? dont you have better things to do with your time than argue with me? what was the point to all this?

what so important that you have to challenge me like this In front of everyone, and rile me up till i explode?

i got mad that you kept pressuring me to do this, i was already mad that you kept messaging me in my thread and trying to prove points along the way, it was very annoying and very rude. why would you do this? if you clearly dont like me or have some issue with how i do things, then you should have just ignored me and left me alone from the very beginning. just like how you ignored my first DM i sent you. before you decided to talk about it on this thread.

no one else has had any issues with me or my Texture packs yet, so it confused me why it bothered you so much that i needed to prioritize making a .dds pack. now i feel like your manipulating people and provoking them deliberately especially new people like myself starting off and making them out to be some sort of villain, and then acting like you’re the innocent one so everyone sides with you.

dude you dont even know me, so of course im going to presume the worst about you, especially after the way ive just been treated by you.
if you dont want people to get the wrong impression of you then i suggest you keep peoples information confidential, and respect someone else's privacy. 

that's my advice to you, and yes by all mean's stay away from my thread.
