Can anyone tell me how i got about changing the skin on my ship. Ive imported it ok, but have no idea how to go about importing a skin. Ive got a copy of Photoshop CS3, and ive downlaoded the nividia plugins someone mentioned needing

You need IMD Editor, go to Page one, the link should be there.

hmm, ive already got that, but not sure how to import skin, the skin is in jpeg format, do i need to convert that int oa 3d model or something, are there any tutorials about this anywhere ive missed? thanks for the help btw

[Nanaki]

Oh, you need to convert it to DDS.

[Ashar]

when selecting dds, theres a load of options, not sure what format to save it as

[Nanaki]

I am not sure either, unfortunately.

no matter, i was lookign at the textures in photoshop, and it just alters the color density of the image, so i just save with whichever looks best. btw, looking in the carcasses file, which of the lion_cruisers is the one the player gets, none of them refer to _player or _pl0 as most player ships do, i dont want to accidently give it to the ai. of the mk2's there is:
Mothership_Lion_mk2
Mothership_Lion_mk2a
Mothership_Lion_mk2a_vks
Mothership_Lion_mk2_grey
Mothership_Lion_mk2a_grey
