How to open a .bmp thats already converted???

Postby SaVas » Tue Jun 28, 2005 9:31 pm

I am repainting the Milton Shupe D18S and there are a few things that I cannot open that have that funky striped look to them. I have DXT3 and PSP7. Can I reconfigure it to be a repaintable .bmp?

that funky striped look
lol I like that  8)

that would appear to mean they are still compressed in dxt3 or dxt1 or somesuch. Just use you dxtbmp to open them, and save them 24bit bmps.

[file] >> [open] >> (find file)

[file] >> [save as] >> [24bit BMP image] >> (save over old file)

hope that helps  :)
