I downloaded nvidia dds plug-in for photoshop. I can now open the dds files but when i try to save my uniform it shows that black background. How do I stop it from doing that?

That is the Alpha Channel – that you are having a problem with!

Save As – DXT5 ARGB 8bb interpolated Alpha

Note – write down the file size of the graphic below saving it, this way you will check to make sure that you have the same file size upon completion.

If the file size is different, something is wrong!

Edited Post - to include the following.....

Forgot to mention this – Do not edit your original graphics – without saving them somewhere in another folder.

What I did was too Copy the game into four different folders, so if I mess something up, I have more than enough back-up copies of the game.
