-Solved- Part mod textures missing

[Vesuvius]

-Solved-

By opening the textures is a program that can edit .dds images, switch the compression to BC3 / DXT5

 

I recently downloaded the mod Silverwolf Aerospace and its part textures are nearly entirely grey, excluding windows and small details, i'm wondering how to fix this and if anyone can help with this.

It's  a very old mod. If the textures are stored in DDS format then it's possible that they are in the wrong version of DDS. Back in KSP v.1.8.0 there was a switch made to only support the DXT5 variant, but some old mods had been saving their textures in DXT3.

Since Silverwolf Aerospace is licensed All Rights Reserved, nobody can legally distribute updated versions, but you can make get the mod working  on your own PC by modifying your own downloaded copies - provided you don't redistribute any of the files.

This can be fixed by opening each dds file in an appropriate graphics editor (e.g. Paint.net on Windows, GIMP or Photoshop - may require a plugin for DDS support) and resaving in the correct format [BC3 (linear, DXT5)].

Good to know, thanks for the help.
