How is it done? What program so you use to edit *.dds files, so that my skins show up with texture compression on?

well, first of all, you do it in photoshop, but ps stock doesnt comee witht he .dds file format, the .dds file format is an Nvidia createion, and as far as i know they DO NOT offer it for download anymore, it was still up a few months ago..but i cant find it anymore, but luckaly i have a copy..so yeah, u cant open / edit the .dds file unless you have the plugin

You could also use Paint Shop Pro (which in my opinion is better than PhotoShop). You will still need the DDS plugin though. Get Paint Shop Pro 7 at http://www.JASC.com or Adobe Photoshop at http://www.ADOBE.com. Then once those are downloaded search for serial numbers on the internet, or just buy the full version.

I have the full versions of both of those, downloaded from Kazaa. Where could I get the plug-in, though?

Bah, sorry. Never mind...

Fram, just so you know, the .dds file is still available at Nvidia!

For everone who needs the plugin just click on the link:

Enjoy!

NOTE: MAYBE we should get BS or Dodd do add the plugin to the MOD section here at AA.com IF it isn't already there!!

I put that file in my plugins folder (for both PSP7 and Photoshop), but I can't save as .dds...
