well all the info i got was crap on fpsbananna. they told a bunch of extra, confusing, unnecissery bs. i had to waid threw the bs wich took a couple hours. u need vtfedit wich is free and photoshop or other comperable photo editing program. i take the vtf file from ur materials file in ur dod file(programfiles/steam/steamapps/uraccount/dods/dod/materials/models). open vtfeditor, select import and import that file. then select save as and u save as a targa or tga file. u then can open that file in photoshop. u edit then save as a targa again. open that targa in vtfeditor and save as a vtf and put it back in ur dod/... file. then play with ur new skin. the piont of vtfedit is to change a vtf to a targa then back again. u cant open a vtf in photo shop. its just a file format change that u need.
