You would need a dds. plugin for Milkshape so that it can read the file and be able to open it. Try checking www.google.com. for something like that.

I have never used Milkshape myself ,but I know there are other modeling programs that have a dds. plugin for it and it works fine or so I hear. Try testing different modeling programs and see which one works the best for that and is also easiest to use for you.

I've tried many programs like milkshape , accutrans3d & 3dmax , but the problem I think is in the exporting the models with HMT. anyway thx for your help :wink:

When exporting the model you get asked a question by HaloMapTools 3.5. Click no and then save your model to where you want it. Then try to open it with Milkshape (having the dds. plugin installed of course IF one even exists for Milkshape). If that doen't work than I have no freakin clue on what do to. Hope that helps you out. Later.

Try getting a new version of HaloMapTools. The newest version is 3.5 and also make sure that you have the FIX file for it too.
