Normal PNG or JPG images compatible for mbm files in update .23 plz

[HafCoJoe]

Hello I was trying to edit the picture files for a command pod unit and found it extremely difficult to edit. I managed to open SOME of the .mbm pictures but not the ones I needed (and they where all rainbowy and broken). I deleted the first 20 bytes from the image coding and they still didn't work!

I suggest adding a .mbm editor FOR KSP and FOR ALL .mbm files

OR edit the .mbm files so they work properly

OR change them back into .png like they where much earlier.

(and yes I know this is already suggested but this seems like a good time to talk more openly about this since its just after a big update.)

PS: please don't yell at me for saying stuff about the next update

A number of add-ons (including mine) already make use of PNG images, although their use has been controversial due to an old Unity texture loading bug specific to that format.

If you have Blender 2.68a or later, you can use taniwha's Blender .mu import/export python script to import official parts into Blender - this will also automatically import MBM textures in a format you can then save as PNGs (remember to turn off alpha transparency for certain parts).

And this works for all .mbm files?

I found I could open a few .mbm files in a picture editor called XnView when I renamed them as .raw files but they came out broken.

Blender works fine?

Thank you for your help btw!
