Turtorial: How to create custom skins in World of Tanks

[7227kay]

need i all the 3 programms

@7227kay Short answer: No.

You do not NEED the 2 programs, you can do just fine with Gimp and then replace the old .dds file with the new 1.

However - to be able to open .dds files with gimp - you NEED the .dds plugin (link is in description)

And to be sure that you dont loose your files, I say use the JSGME program, it works as a small fail-safe program. just activate the skin or deactivate it via JSGME.

Its easy.

To all you who are looking for the Type.59.dds:

It's located inside: World_of_Tanks\res\vehicles\ch­inese\Ch01_Type59

If you can NOT see the Type59.dds - you have 2 options:

Either RE-DOWNLOAD the new version of WoT and re-install that OR - have a friend send you the Type59.dds to you via skype or email or something.

PS: YOU MUST download and install the .dds plugin (a readme file comes with the plugin) to be able to open the .dds with GIMP.

HOW DO U CAMO IT AND CHANGE THE COLER COMMET ME

[balmerical]

@gameover5011

Heh you like to write in caps dont you :)

If you camo it (as in paint the tank without "copy & pasting camo images) you will have to color the tank to your liking BEFORE "Flatting" the image.

[tony007entety]

Is this just for XP ? cuzi cant get it to work on my Win7.it says (Unknown file type) wen i try 2 drag the image in the GIMP prog.

[balmerical]

@tony007entety you have to download the .dds plugin for gimp (watch the description for links)

And it works for windows 7 (people in my clan has win7 and it works)

[ChickasawNDN000]
