it still works in the same way for psp m8, just drop the dds converter into your psp9/plugins folder (i think, its been a while since i installed mine) but i only work in psp and the dds converter works perfectly for me........its the ideas for the skins that usually lets me down

found MoRs painting thread for rF which includes the download link and an explanation for installing the plugin for psp

Hi Hazy, I had the same problem and got so fed up, I gave up!

After 12 months of " I cant be arsed with that" I finaly tried again and managed to get it to work.

 

I googled for a DDS converter, and the download I found, was similar to the file downloads to do with SOD, in other words, the programs where in the same named folders that they needed to be ' placed' in when in your PSP folder.

Im sorry that I cant remember what site I used unfortunately, but as I said, just google it.

 

You then need to place the programs in the plug-ins folder in your PSP folder:

 

Start - My Computer - C: - Program Files - Jasc Software Inc - Paint Shop Pro - PlugIns - Plug-Ins - then place the relevant programs in the ' File format' and 'filter' folders.

 

 

Once thats done, just open the PSP program and try to save a DDS, if you get the NVIDIA drop down box, it should all be OK, just make sure the settings are then the same as the ones on the UK Dirt Website RFactor skin painting guide.

 

 

Its all abit of a long winded process if you do it this way, but it worked for me!

Theres a MUCH easier way! Tads send it to me a while back when i was having problems doing it in photoshop. I simply now save the merged PSD to my desktop, load the converter and about 10 seconds later i have a DDS. Lovely job
