I'm having trouble extracting both the DDS and the Normal Maps plugin files. I open them on 7-Zip, and click extract, and set the file location to C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMPshop\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins. Then it tells me it cannot open the folder. What am I doing wrong?
Just starting out modeling. Apparently this is needed to create the textures. You wouldn't believe the amount of stuff i've had to download... Python 2.6, PyFFI, Blender, Blender NifScripts, Nifskope and a BSA unpacker. And now this.
Do I have to download all 4 files? I already have GIMP but CSwiki says I also need the ssociated DDS export plugin. The link for that on their site does not work.
EDIT: Ah never mind, got it now. I just neeeded the DDS Plugin part for my standard GIMP 2.0

sorry for the newb questions
If the dimensions of your image is something like 501x1140, it won't work.

I keep getting this message when I try to save Dalmatian spots as a dds.
DDS: Cannot compress non power-of-2 sized images.
Saved image will not be compressed.
is this because the spots are differant sizes?
or is there a fix for this message
Thanks

does this effect windows 7 2?
Gimpshop will install there and fail to find the
dds and normal map plugins
After installing both Gimpshop and the plugins it into
another location GimpShop found the plugins
