Hi all:
Thanks for the replies but I'm afraid the problem has been missed.
PlaneEater:
All ships have a .tga and a .tgb file for skins close and slightly farther away. The 'skin1o.tgb' file must first be converted to 'skin1o.tga' (I change the name to 'skin1otgb.tga' so there's no conflict) simply by changing the '.tgb' to a '.tga' file extension as David603 says.
David603:
I don't save the file back through ViewIMF once it's been over in PhotoShop - I save it direct. However, and this is the real problem, the file changes size when I convert it through ViewIMF - from 1026KB it drops to 1025KB. Also, no matter what I do, I can't get PhotoShop to save any 512 X 512 .tga file to 1026KB and thus the game won't read the 1025KB file.
dunkelgrun:
Sorry to be so dense. I went to the site you sent - how do you work it? I dl'd the trial batch converter but nothing happened when I tried a skin. Or perhaps I should say I can't find anything that happened if it happened.
Hope this clears things up.
Great days all.
