OkI have a problem i downloaded a skin for Halo Pc but when i try to open it i get this error:

Error
C:\Documents and Settings\Jaylon\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI00.859\fire hog tires and rims.dds
This archive is either in unknown format or damaged.





Note i have repaired and redownloaded this skin many times and i also get the error message on all the other skins i download.

you dont open a .dds file in winrar, you import it with HMT

open desired map

select texture the dds will replace

hit 'import'

select the desired file

a .dds is NOT an archive file, it's a picture-file that can only be open with photoshop, and even then you need the right plug.

Thanks
