Re: skins on gimp
I think you'll need the original psd from Reaver. Once converted to DDS all the layers are flattened.

Ryan, use the .DDS converter.
simply click the drop down box (this is in converter) and choose psd. then open the psd.
Done!

Rocket even if you Convet the .DDS to .PSD the layers will still be flattened (one layer) you will need the original .PSD to get the layers

Re: skins on gimp
yeah, but it worked for me..even when the layers were flattened. i just slaped the new bits on to the flatened layer (it called backgrounds) and flattened it again.

Re: skins on gimp
Yes. If all you're trying to do is add something, it'll work fine. But without the layers you won't be able to move any existing decals without some very skilled painting.KSR Rocketship wrote:yeah, but it worked for me..even when the layers were flattened. i just slaped the new bits on to the flatened layer (it called backgrounds) and flattened it again.
I'd suggest you just PM Reaver and ask him for the PSD, it'll make things a lot easier for you.

i dont see why you would want to move decals around, hes a bloody good skin as it is, if you want to put another sticker over top of one that is all ready there, just paste it on top
