Modded textures and texture swaps do not appear

So. I had to stop modding for a few months when i had to buy a new computer. I used to seriously enjoy editing textures and doing texture swaps. However when i edit and save a .dds file those changes do not appear in the game. FOr instance if i edit the .dds file for a ox of abraxo, the box keeps the vanilla texture when i load up the game even though the .dds file is edited. If I open the.DDS file it shows teh changesI made but they then do not load in game. I have tried both GIMP and Photoshop with the peoper .DDs plug ins and it doesnt work with either app. When I load a .DDs file in photoshop the layer appears labeled as a decompressed image instead of as a back ground layer. I actually have no idea what is going on. Please help.

Ok, so I'm afraid that I don't know enough about doing the textures, to be able to throw any input on what might be going on THERE. But, you said that you had to get a new computer. After installing the game on the new system, are you sure that you did all of the required .ini file edits, to handle loose, modified textures?

I think you might be right, actually. Unfortunately I can't remember what to do with.INI files. Do you mind telling me how/telling where I can find that information again?

Heyas Eater. Sure thing not a problem! :smile:

Here's a page that I keep bookmarked with the instructions for that. It's a mod page, and the mod itself, is vastly outdated. BUT, the author does have the instructions for the edit, listed in the mod description.

I hope that will be what's causing the problem for you :smile:

 

Oh, and lest I forget. Remember to make a backup of that file, somewhere on your computer, before you make the edits. Just in case. Newton's law "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong...." And all that ;)
