Hey there,

I've recently started modding and i want to use the default textures with minimal editing, is there a way i can export them to .png and .jpeg so i can edit them to fit my models?

Thanks

DC

eeeer that's against the EULA isn't it?

Well, theya re standard DDS textures, which is standard format for games and other real-time 3d rendering. Many programs support them natively, like paint.NET.

Some of the mods i had installed had textures from ksp (like adapters and addons for the MK2 and MK3 parts)

Depends. You can change and redistribute everything that is in GameData/, but you are not allowed to share files from the .assets files in KSP_Data/

I see, thanks.

You can also use Gimp with a DDS plugin and there are a good handful of things to use you might check this thread http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/119873

NVIDIA has an Photoshop plugin for .dds files. Just Google it. AMD should have one as well, though I'm a NVIDIA user, so I never paid too much attention on that.

The plugin works on AMD and even ancient ATI cards as well. I guess it was just released by Nvidia because dds is supported by nvidia. Doubt it relies on graphic card that much.
