Is there a .dtx editor besides photoshop?

**elliwgiy** · 10-13-2010

I'm having too much trouble and no help getting my photoshop cs5 extended to open .dtx files.. I went through the tutorials, copied proper .dll's to proper folders, copied proper plugin in to correct folder as well, ive extracted the right .rez file and converted to lithtech and still can't open it in cs5.. is there anyone that can A) Help me out here.. or B) Tell me another way to edit the texture files.. I want to start making mods for CA! And contribute to mpgh.net.. any help would be greatly appreciated and I will give thanks to whoever helps me as well as put you in credits whenever i create a texture mod so people will know i didn't do it on my own!

Well, There is Paint.net or Gimp. But what exactly do you need help with for your DTX Problem? (You cant open it?)

well.. i followed jabuuty's post for noobs guide to modding.. and i went to texture mods.. i dled the rez tools and followed step by step instructions.. copied proper .dll's to photoshop directory and copied the other file to plug ins/file format folder.. i extracted .rez for the AR weapons, and then converted the g36e dtx file to lithtech using the converter.. but photoshop cs5 isn't allowing me to open it to edit it.. i have cs5 extended..

you know most of the tutorials are beyond easy to follow(keep reading em) if you cant figure out that much on your own(by reading tuts) then your kinda hopeless or maybe your just not cut out for modding... yet

sorry if i might come off kinda cold but im tired of newbies posting their bs in the wrong sections

And you're apology is accepted but seriously dude the tuts are accurate down to the letter, if all else fails go download a copy of gimp and you'll be fine
