randomperson139 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 There is no confirmation when you unlock the file. You could download and use paint.net for you reskins because it can open .dds files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novius Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 There is no confirmation when you unlock the file. You could download and use paint.net for you reskins because it can open .dds files.I'll check that out. What's odd is DDSConverter will open the Battalion Chief's Car, and it says it converted it, I even see the file withing DDSCV. It just doesn't actually exist on my computer... And that was with a locked file... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novius Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 UPDATE: The BCV will open with Paint.NET, but all others, regardless whether I unlocked them, come up as Error Opening File. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luisinho Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 DDS Converter has never worked that good to me.That's why I always used Photoshop. I've never tried paint.net, but from what I've heard, it is quite good and it's also a freeware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
