[CFDDIVE11]

Hi,

Im using GIMP to skin and im having trouble converting the .png to a .dds i've tried using the skins as a .png but in the editor th skins are just white. Any help?

It must be exactly the same as before Example: If it was a DDS before it has to be a DDS when you reskin it and use DDS converter to convert it to DDS

go into your model files,lets say you want the chp charger (for example):

1.find dodge_charger_chp.dds change it to dodge_charger_chp1.V3O(watch spelling spaces and all) when it asks you too change file say yes.

2.open editor choose mod and navigate to dodge_charger_chp1.V3O click unpack

3.go back to your main mod folder and re-name dodge_charger_chp1.V3O back to dodge_charger_chp.dds confirm name change.

4.use dds converter to find and convert (dodge_charger_chp.dds) to a PNG

5.open with gimp2 or paint whatever you use.

this is as simple as it gets hope it helps you....make sure the model file is named the same as the texture file ex..dds/.dds or .png/.png.

i have the skin done i want to put it in game i just use this steps and i already have the file as a png

ok then, if your models are white it means they are not linked to the image files...check if they have dds or png what ever your image file is.
