Extract it and then color over it in photoshop with the pencil in a solid color of your choice. Inject back in.

I think he's talking about the bumpmap. You'll want to extract it and make it all white, I think.

i would say doing both your ideas together, the texture and the bumpmap.

texture for the solid colour, and bumpmap to remove bumps.

(bumpmap either all white or all black, i am not sure wich will work best, i auctualy think all black will work because of old bumpmapping gone wrong experaments)

what would nulling out the bump map do? Does there need to be a bump map in order for the bitmap to load?

PS for those of you who don't know. A bump map is what gives objects a texture in halo2 kinda like the speckles in the MC armor.

i didnt say null the bumpmap, i like snaku said to make it a solid white or black, as the bumpmap gives objects "bumps" such as the divits in the walls that Deerhake44 was talking about.

thats verry odd, what ver of the plugin? cos i have the nvidia .dds (latest) from Nvidia and it opens them just fine, and also, the things you want to make all black or all white are in the Alpha channel when you get it open.

I asked around a lot about this and was told to try using darkmatter to extract the bump, but I never got around to trying it.
