I'm looking into making my own gun (a sniper rifle), and I already have the .X file that I made in 3D Canvas Pro, and I plan to make the others for the HUD and VWEAP, but what program does anyone use to open, edit, and/or create .dds files? I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Could someone please help?

Can't wait for V1!!!!!!!

Hi sixpack,
Maybe I can help you with that problem.
1. You can not make a .dds file because inside FPSC texturebank folder it makes it for you.
2. when you creat your x file opening up your x file in notepad and look for the word (texture filename) and next to this word should be your texture file name. Make sure that your file say for example: tom.tga. If it say tom.jpeg or anything else beside .tga. you need to change it to tga file . Also make sure you texture file is a 256 X 256 .tga file .Once you have all this done right you need to make a folder in texturebank file area and put your texture in there and make sure you have your x file in entitybank folder. If you have any other problem from there with the texture email me. good luck

I am using the DDS Converter 2.1 to convert textures.

Here is a download link:

On this page you can download a Plugin for photoshop
so that you can export your images directly to DDS
from Photoshop.

But you actually don'y need DDS files for
textures, you can simply use TGA files.

FPSC-Browser can't see any of my files.
It only sees the ones included with FPSC.

It doesn't see any dds or tga files that I create.

wtf?

You are the cattle,
I am the catalyst.

You cant load a DDS or TGA file from within FPSC.
You define wich one of those files will be used for
skins in the script files.
(atleast i think so )
