I have Jasc Paint Shop Photo 5 and i cant figure out where to put dds.8bi. I couldnt find any folders with the program related to plugins or formats. I put the file in the general directory of it, went to XCC mixer and took a random .dds file and put it on my desktop. I use "Open with" Jasc Paint Shop Photo 5 and when it opens it says "Cannont open file whatever"

Any ideas?

Just Download this Programm: DXT Extended Bitmap Manipulation


Open the Programm, drop in the .DDS and convert it to .BMP or .TGA
(TGA for Skins with Alpha Channels) after Editing the Skin convert it back to .DDS

Im using Gimps and i tried to edit 18_laser_beam assuming its the laser rifle shot, but it stays the same color. I editted a .dds file for the menu screen and it worked so i know im doing it in the right way. Do you know y the laser edit wont work?

EDIT: NVM, thought you meant something else. This post can be deleted by a moderator if they would be so kind.

I edit the file.
File>Save As> I scroll down to .dds
I select DXT1 or T5 accordingly and i check Generate MinMips(or whatever)
I saved it to a folder on my desktop and from there i copy it to my rendata.
But the changes arent working i tried with the sbh laser and the orca skin.

Dont suppose you could quickly edit a .dds file, like the orca skin.
Just edit it by using colorize, and make a video of it jsut to make sur eim saving it correctly and shit.
