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.

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.
