Trouble with basic texture modding

[OnyxRain]

I was trying to follow tekken57's WWE 2k15 PC Basic Texture Modding Tutorial found here:

I'll just try to post the steps I did with pictures maybe someone can tell me where I ended up going wrong? Since if I can't do this right I doubt I'll be able to move wrestlers from one game to the other like I really want to do. I'm using Photo Shop CS2 in case that's important.

 

When I first open the head texture I get this pop-up

I clicked yes not knowing what I really should do here and continued on. After that I get this next pop-up asking these questions and these are the answers I place. Again not sure if I'm doing this part correctly.

 

Then I get a third pop-up with a lot of choices on exactly what I want. I have no clue what to choose from here so left it alone but maybe I must be missing something somewhere because of the end result.

 

 

The forth pop-up tells me this yet I then click ok hoping this is the right choice.

 

The last pop-up happens after I attempt to inject the new head. So I know something in the above steps is done wrong. I'm just not sure where that is. Please remember that all of this is new to me so any help is greatly appreciated.

 

 

The new texture was green and that's the only change I made. So I'm lost without some guidance here.

I use a different plugin.

First press no

then generate mip maps (4)

[OnyxRain]

Just to be sure I have this right the first pop up I say no.

On the I specify # MPI maps to 4

Thank you Rolling Rocky that worked! Now lets see if I can finish the rest of the tutorial.

Just so you can see that your help really did work and I am appreciative I'm posting the proof here from my game.

Although the plugin worked. I would download the newest version of it. It's easier to use.

I agree.I have that.Much easier.

I'd happy to download whatever plugin works best. Photoshop though isn't really my program of choice but in this case I was kind of forced to use it. If you have a DL link to the newest plugin please share. Unless of course you know of a plugin that actually works with Paint Shop Pro X8 which is what I use for almost everything texture related and have thus far been totally unsuccessful in finding a dds file reader.

Here are the latest versions: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

This diwnload link also includes nomal maps nvidia plugin which is something ou will need for modding to create normal bump textures. These only work in hotoshop, however you can edit your textures in the other program you like, save them as jpeg or png, open them in photoshop and save them as dds.

Honestly I have no idea where the renders are located. Some guy managed to replace renders in the PC section. Dig for his topic.

Downloaded the newest lets see how it goes next time it's needed. My thanks and gratitude Auday!
