Features

Choose format type for each map type

DXT5 - Higher quality texture with transparency (alpha) but size is a bit bigger (just use this for most things really)
DXT1 - No transparency format, also lowers the quality and can cause artifacts, smaller size than DXT5 though
None - Will not export that DDS texture
Export only DDS (Skip/Delete PNGs on export)
Help dialog if you are clueless
Some other changes...

Export preset (IMPORTANT):

Move the GTA 5.spexp file to this folder:

C:\Users\username\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Painter\assets\export-presets

Make sure you use specific suffixes in your export template, like this:

Enable the Starfield-DDS-Exporter under the Python menu

First time running the plugin it will ask you what folder the Texconv.exe is located in via a UI pop-up. This will create a Starfield-DDS-Exporter-PluginSettings.ini in the plugin folder with the settings saved.

Dockable widget with output terminal and basic settings

Microsoft Texconv (Download and extract to whatever folder you want)
