Need Help! Can't covert P2 Skin to AMS2

Try this. Thanks nissan_r89c

 

For future reference, rather than struggling with the Photoshop DDS plug-in, or opening DDS files in Gimp and finding a newsprint shadow obscuring your view, try this:

Google "MWGfx" and/or "DXTBmp" and download the free program "DXTBmp".

I've been using it for years. Quick, easy, much less frustrating than anything else. In options you can set your favorite image editor's location, then open the DDS file in the program and click, "Send to editor" for the image, or the alpha channel, or save them in your favorite format and put them back together after editing.

It will generate mipmaps, and you can save DXT1 (with or without alpha), DXT3, DXT5, and several other formats.

It's quick, easy, and free. It takes the pain out of working with DDS files, and opens compressed images that resist other programs. You can download and install it in about thirty seconds.

***If you work in DXTBmp, and the game doesn't recognize your DDS file, open it in Gimp and export it as a DXT3 DDS file. Fixed. Your work in DXTBmp will be preserved, including alpha channel, etc.***
