Decals and Helmets

When ever I change a Helmet or a Decal I get errors in game.

Decals wont show up right (like when you change the pelicans decals) your decals dont appear on the pelican correctly.

When ever I change the skin on my helmet and i go to inject it back in it says the file is smaller but its the same size. It dosent say fix size just says its to small. I have not changed its size and i have even just tried to color a line on it and put it back in only to get the same error. If i change it i get helemt less people. The only way to fix it is re insert the orginal DDS. of the helmet. Any idea what i've done wrong?

thanks

umm i used to have this problem but i forget how i fixed it exactly but i think when you save a a .dds in photoshop you have to change the different settings and what not and be sure that you have it set to creating "mip maps" and that should probably work then. sry i can't help more.
