Odd. Are you sure you're putting the plugin in the right place? Is the file you're trying to open corrupted maybe? What error do you get when you try opening it?

I have the plugin here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\File Formats
I get Error:
Could not complete your request because of a problem with the file-format module interface.

I think it could be the file. Do you know how to properly extract a dds file from mainmenu.map? like what program to use

Oh, is it A8R8G8B8 type image? I use Dot Halo for those, though I remember a newer program that can do it properly (a version of entity, I think; can't remember which one though).DaRkM wrote:I think it could be the file.

As far as I know, all Entitys can extract them.

Sorry, it wasn't Dot Halo, it was Ch2r. Try this tutorial Tural wrote for extracting and making your own emblems: http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=37048

Am I allowed to post in that topic? i was trying to follow that guide but i couldn't open CH2R

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to bump it.
What error do you get when you're trying to open Ch2r? You might need the .NET framework.

Error:
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled
I don't see how .NET framework could be a problem since i have the below installed:
.NET Framework 1.1
.NET Framework 1.1 (hotfix)
.NET Framework 2.0
.NET Framework 3.0
