Texture error

Postby Alphajet_Enthusiast » Sat Jan 08, 2005 1:23 am

I downloaded the b747 blank textures by Rob Smith. When I try to open them it tells me that *filename* cannot be opened because of a disk error. However I have repainted POSKY's and Aerodesign's aircraft before. I tried to open the textures of the default aircraft and it gives me the same message. I think I need to download a certain programme.. but I can't remember which one...

If it helps I use Adobe Photoshop 7.0. ;)

Thanks  :)

Hi
I use Photoshop 7.0 and your problem is filetypes. Photoshop doesn't recognise them, you need DXTBmp
availablehere
then within DXTBmp use 'Load extended image' and navigate to the file. Then hit image/send to editor and t will open in photoshop. ;D
Then edit it and save it as a targa file, then in DXTBmp load your edited file back in with 'Load targa with Alpha'
then 'save extended image' and you can then view it in FS9

Hope that helps
UPLOAD IMAGE TO SIMV!

Thank you very much! I already had DXTbmp but wasn't too sure what it was used for!  ;)
