please read one of the 100 tutorials people have posted or linked in other threads...

the fast answer is Batch Extract the bitmaps out of the level using HMT3.

???? its not on the list to save in photoshop, DXT1. and it says file must be DXT2 or DXT1 , not DXT... i save it as a .DDS, and i cant inject the file in HMT.

look at the pics in my tutorials.. they even have all the options highlighted you need to check when saving a .dds.
