Skinning ship - file problem

I still can't find the Cossack

When you want to open the .tgb file you MUST change the file extension manually to .tga by simply changing the 'b' to an 'a' in the extension. You can then open it in ViewIMF and save the file somewhere.

My method is to start by moving the skin1o.tga, skin1p.tga, skin1q.tga and, skin1o.tgb into a separate folder. I then rename 'skin1o.tgb' to 'skin1o_tgb.tgb'. I then change the extension of this file to 'skin1o_tgb.tga'. At this point ViewIMF can read the file and 'Save As'. It will make a file called TGA-skin1o_tgb.tga in the folder you're working from.

Hope this helps.



Found the Cossack - I was right in that I hadn't dl'd it before this; got it now.

OK, here's what I've found. As you know both the skni1o.tga and skin1o.tgb are the same size. I opened BOTH files in Gimp simply by clicking on them. I had to do what I suggested above and rename and change the file extension for skin1o.tgb to skin1o_tgb.tga. after doing this I didn't even have to run them through ViewIMF.

Again, hope this helps.
