Weapon Skinning Problems

Post by Shifty »

I've made a weapon skin of the garand which some of you may have seen from my post - This works fine on my PC

But ppl in my clan cannot see it - does any1 have any ideas - His texture compression is off, Could this be to do with a .dds file not being present if so how do I create one?

Actually you just need to put 'dds.8bi' in the plugins folder. Sorry :oops:

Have you tried just making a folder named "plugin" under your psp7 install. Some progs can have plugins added by simply doing that and then dropping in the plugin into that folder.
