Need to remember to tell DDSopt to ignore the following files since they will cause in-game issues:

architecture\barracks\blackdoor.dds

architecture\barracks\blackdoor_n.dds

architecture\barracks\white.dds

pipboy3000\screen.dds

pipboy3000\screen_n.dds

This list was made through personal experience and with the following source.
