I followed the paths of the ships that had DC throwers that were modified in the Smoke Mod, but they ended in .DDS or .SIM files that are written in some kind of coded script that I cannot find any mention of DC throwers in them. The script uses a lot of symbols instead of words, so I wouldn't even know where to start. Anyone know how to read the print in the .DDS or .SIM files?

use s3d to open and read the sim files

use paint.net to open and view the dds files (they are image files)

Thanks for the info, Webster. I already have S3D, but you got me on PAINT.NET, I haven't seen or heard of it before. How does it work?

S3D will let you rebuild with new IDs, the trouble is that you then need to test with every other mod you are using to make sure you haven't broken anything. Best might be a CTD, since you'll know it is broken, but it is also possible to break things so that something just doesn't work, which is considerably harder to notice.

Is PAINT.NET a program, or just something you type in somewhere to open a file?

It's a program that'll let you open and work on the ads files.

Paint.NET found here: http://www.getpaint.net/download.html#download

its a great little photo editing software that can open and edit all image files you would mod for the game
