Could you help me convert .ckd to dds and back? I think it's Little Endian

Here is example file:
Thanks for any help!

I think it's a bit more complex than that.

quickbms has a cool features that allows to swap the endianess of all the fields that have been read from the file so I did the following test, I made a BACKUP copy of the file and then used this script with the -E -w options of quickbms (quickbms -E -w script.bms font02_0.tga.ckd):

Code:

get DDS_SIGN long
  DWORD           dwSize;
  DWORD           dwFlags;
  DWORD           dwHeight;
  DWORD           dwWidth;
  DWORD           dwPitchOrLinearSize;
  DWORD           dwDepth;
  DWORD           dwMipMapCount;
  DWORD           dwReserved1[11];

  #DDS_PIXELFORMAT ddspf;
#struct DDS_PIXELFORMAT {
  DWORD dwSize;
  DWORD dwFlags;
  DWORD dwFourCC;
  DWORD dwRGBBitCount;
  DWORD dwRBitMask;
  DWORD dwGBitMask;
  DWORD dwBBitMask;
  DWORD dwABitMask;
#};

  DWORD           dwCaps;
  DWORD           dwCaps2;
  DWORD           dwCaps3;
  DWORD           dwCaps4;
  DWORD           dwReserved2;

get MAX_SIZE asize
savepos TMP
xmath NUM "(MAX_SIZE - TMP) / 4"
for i = 0 < NUM
    get DUMMY long
next i

Then I renamed font02_0.tga.ckd to font02_0.dds and opened it but the output image doesn't have sense.
I tried also to comment the last part (from get MAX_SIZE) but it's still not clear.

Hope it's a starting point, at least.

Could you swap the endianess from normal texture (DXT3/DXT5 with alpha)?
