I'm trying to inject a modified version of the frag grenade skin into the plasma grenade. Eac htime I try I save the file with "DXT1 (1 bit Alpha)" and "generate MIP" as the tutorial I have says to. It says the bitmap is too small when I inject it and it says it will update the size. I click OK.

But then It saysthe file must be a DXT1. Any help? I tried but, I'm tired and out of ideas since I am unfamilliar to photoshop and skinning.

when you click on a skin to save it to your comp, before you close out of HMT look at the words above the mini-picture of the skin, make sure its says "DXT1" or something or another like that, if it doesnt then you're saving the wrong size, I doubt this helped much but it's all I know

Huh? It is saved as DXT1 (1 bit Alpha). HMT said it would automatically update the size.

Save it with no alpha.
