Uhh, first of all, I'm a dumbass. Just thought I'd get that cleared up. Second of all, where the hell do I get the .dds files? Third, I don't think I have photoshop, do I have to buy it, or is there a free download somewhere? Thanks!

I've downloaded hmt a couple of times, and it doesn't work when I try to open it. I have used winrar on it, so it's not that. It tells me that I need a specific version of .Net Framework. I have .Net Framework already, but it says it can't detect it...

try downloading it... and as for photoshop, go to adobe.com to download the trial, good for 30 days

But the trial does no justice to the full thing... Plus it has many restrictions...
