Description

There seems to be some artifacting when creating VTFs with DXT compression when compared to vtex2.

MareTF v0.12.0 - maretf create -v 7.4 -f DXT5 MareTF VPK vtex2 v0.3.1 - vtex2 convert --version 7.4 -f dxt5 vtex2 VPK

I can observe similar artifacting when creating VTFs with DXT3 or DXT1.

I'd upload the VTF files themselves, but I'm not sure I'd be allowed to here on github, since they are compiled from valve's textures. Please let me know if I can and should upload them.
