Nah it isnt compressed, I used Paintshop Pro 8 and it gave me the option to save as TGA so I did... doesnt seem to be working... If anyone would be willing I could send them a pic like my foot or something and see if they could get it to work... thanks for responding btw... and could it have anything to do with the items \ equipment files? I have customized my guy thru those but I dont think that should matter but im new at this so if it does tell me what to do to fix plz
