ThinBlueLineKY4 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hey guys, I can't open .dds files with gimp, even though I have the plugin exe in the plugins folder and the files for the plugin apepar there too. . It sometimes opens a few, along with paintdotnet, but they dont work at all most of the time. Any good free/free trial skinning software I can use? Or is it that it isnt working because I am trying to open LA mod skins?EDIT: I mean, the LA mod is the main one I have trouble with. Almost all the other mods that have .dds files open fine except for a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace612 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 The LA Mod's .dds textured are "locked" to prevent alteration. There is a long process of unlocking them, although the downloads section has a file with them unlocked under Modding/Textures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an unlocked LA Mod Models available for download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace612 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 LA Mod models are only locked the same way as original Em4 models. There should be a bunch of answer how to unlock these, just search the forum. No download that I know of.If I've understood you right, to make the edited texture work, just place it in the same folder, where the original texture was. If you didn't change with naming or it's aspect ratio (you can upscale and downscale, as long as the ratio stays the same), it should work just fine.
