I am working on a Britkits repaint in paint shop 7 and when I save the image as a tga file then try to use RWAcetool it gives and error: (see photo) Any idea whats wrong? I was following the instructions supplied with the textures.

I don't use Paint Shop but doesn't it ask you somewhere about what format you want to save the tga as? See if you can find that and specify one of those formats.

It does ask and I did try all three. Also tried compressed and decompressed. When I reopen the saved tga file in psp it has the gray checker board over my textures which are just visible behind it.

Hi,

For some reason TGA files saved from PSP can't be read by RWACETools. A workaround is to load the TGA in GIMP and re-export (GIMP for "save") as uncompressed TGA. Now RWAceTool should accept it.

That's a great idea. I have Gimp and will try it.

well it does work but I get an error now in the BlueprintEditor. There has to be an easier way to do this. Edit: Found a way!
