Xplorer4x4 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Personally I use Photoshop CS5, but used photoshop 7 before that. I hated CS1-4, but 5 is another story! I love it!For v3o and scripts nothing beats Notepad2 imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmC-Unit Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think best note pad is on vista or something close (it is colouring text) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddieman Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I use Gimp....ev1 has their own personal preference I guess.....gimp is free as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erfd Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Use gimp, it has more features than paint and I personaly think it works 10x better. If you use it, you have to download a plugin for dds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutycalls Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Sorry to double post but there is another problem. I've downloaded GIMP 2.6 and tried to open both .dds and .v30 with it but it says: C:/Program Files/sixteen tons entertainment/Emergency 4/Data/Models/Persons/Police/profiler.dds (and .V30) is not a valid Win32 application. Can someone tell me what the problem is or if there is a required plugin for GIMP?Dutycalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomperson139 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I don't think GIMP requires a plugin to open .dds, and I know Paint.Net doesn't need a plugin. I use paint.net and that opens .dds files with no problem.Try opening files from a mod not the original game and see if models from a mod work.

Xplorer4x4 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes gimp needs a plug in but over all it works with more file types and is more advanced then paint.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone1fire Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 V3O files won't open with notebook and gets translated to weirdness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbrown8568 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hope I didn't just bump an old thread. If you open a v3o file in notebook or notebook++ or notebook2 and see a crazy jumbled mess, this file is still locked it must be unpacked in the game editor.
