u need to open photoshop cause paint cant read .dds files, thats why u have to open in PS then save it as a bitmap file to be able to open it in paint, u cant put the image u want on the ring in PS cause that would create a layer which would not allow u to save it as a .dds file. sorry the tut was HORRIBLE i was in a freaking hurry and next time dont get pissed at me just cause i posted a tut on something that noobs dont know how to do! its supposed to be HELPFUL

Wow adding pics to a map is the same as skinning it there doesn't need to be 2 different tuts.
