How to edit .DDS images?

Here’s how I mod DDS files for the game.

  1. You start with the DDS file you want.
  2. You tell your PC to open it using paint.net (I’ve linked to the site, just install it from the top right)
  3. You then save your DDS file that you opening in paint as a PNG.
  4. You edit your PNG using Photoshop, and save that as a PNG.
  5. You install G ! M P
  6. You open your final PNG in G ! M P.
  7. You export the PNG from G ! M P using the ABGR8 format.
  8. Now you have a functional DDS file again that the game can read.

Note: Remove the spaces from G ! M P, I’m doing it like that because the stupid censor is broken. The ! is actually a capital i as well.
