another program i could use to edit ,so that i could see the

for the heads because of the way the nose is made.

i still haven't been able to find the file that controls which
skin the game will use for each torpedo...any ideas?

(noob modder at work)
Converting images to different formats, working on them, and converting them back does a lot of damage to the images. A really good free image editing program is GIMP(do a google search and it will come right up). I believe that you will have to get a plugin for it to edit .dds files, but it is easy to get, and it handles alpha channels surprisingly well. Also, the file that I think you are looking for is: data/Library/torpedoes_g7a-e.GR2
