Remember, from Photoshop, you want to export it to a Windows Bitmap at 24 bits, run it in DXTBMP and save as a .dds to Skins.
Phew... let me know if that makes sense...or works!
That was some fancy footwork, Rick. Thank you very, very much. This morning, I also noticed that I had forgotten to continue the stripping over the top deck. (asleep at the switch)
Your instructions seem pretty straightforward. I'll jump on this tomorrow and report back. Thanks again!
