Excuse me Orangemittens, I've managed to edit meshes with blender, but when i try to edit the 2d textures with paint or gimp it says it can't read the file and refuses to open it. Do I need to convert it to another format before it can be opened?
More accurately i just figured out that i can import normal images as textures but they don't fit the texture size/format, so i need to know how to make the original exported texture formats usable for gimp and paint editing.
*update
I'm an idiot XD watched tutorial about needing plugin and clicked the link XD. New question now that i have the file on the computer how to i apply it to gimp i have no clue XD
*another update
nevermind the how i downloaded the wrong file i'm now installing the older gimp so i can run the file XD workin on it
*help again
I have the plugin installed and the dds file put in the bin folder but i still can't open dds files XD
*gave up on gimp dds
looking at other programs found something called paint.net which i was told can edit dds programs easily, bout to find out
*yesh
paint.net is the way to go i'd reccommend it to your future users even :D
*new problem
the images from paint.net don't have ddxt compression whatever that is
*figured it out
had to copy and paste in new image with same proportions and give it the dxt5 when the menu pops up with mipmaps :D I'm learning XD
