Turning a DDS into XBM? (Trying to change dice board to custom image.)

[Perfected]

Anyone know how to go about doing this?

 

So i downloaded this mod:

And it gives me these files which does work for changing the graphics of the dice board:

Now the DDS file seems to be the image or whatever the board is going to look like, but i changed that, and saved it, and it still looks the same as the mod originally was in game.

 

So i'm guessing it has something to do with the XBM files.

 

What's the best way to go about doing this?

I'm in the same boat as you, I want to do some texture modding but I'm at an impass with regards to the tools. From what I undertood on other forums, the Witcher 2 XBM not actual X Bitmap but a compressed form of DDS. A conversion softwaare called quickbms can be used to convert xbm <-> dds but it requires a script file to the conversion and all the links to the Witcher 2 bms script files are dead. Since there is still a very active texture modding community for Witcher 2, it may be that there is a way to convert textures via red kit.

 

This is the topic that discusses the modding of xbm: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/387058-dds-to-xbm-converter/

 

Does any have the quickbms script needed to do the converting or does anyone know how I can use Red Kit to do this?
