Well, I have managed to use S3D to get to the US_torpedoes512.dds and .tga files, but when I highlight them, I get an error message that says: "The file can not be opened. Unknown file type."

I don't suppose there is a torpedo texture / color tutorial out there anywhere? Several forum members have given good advise on WHAT to do, but I need to know HOW to do it. What programs or mod tools do I use? S3D? Gimp? or some other mod tool I'm not yet aware of? I was told I need to "redo" the US_torpedoes512 bitmap. Ok, WHERE is this bitmap located, WHAT mod tool do I use to open it, and HOW do you redo the bitmap?
