MU files What and how?

[rekless1229]

So not exactly a gameplay question but what do you use for opening and editing .mu files. Im trying to do some retexturing.

It's true this is not a gameplay question, and so it has been moved to the modding subforum.

You can't open mu files as such in the manner you describe, the mu is only the model not the texture ,you can export them via a plugin for blender and then reimport but it's a lot more complex than just a simple texture edit,  the textures themselves are all in dds format by now, stored usually in the same folder as the  mu and can be edited in many different applications

I did not understand your question. Please describe this.

You may find paint.net a good texture editor when used with blender.
