How do you edit the actual skins instead of just swapping shaders?

of course you don't... The extraction process produces .dds files that you edit in photoshop.

ok, sry, but do i extract the .dds files from saving the meta of the object or skin? (if so, recursive, or not recursive?) Do you batch extract the map to get the .dds? Do you get something from bitmaps.map?

one has to have the right folder structure in order for photoshop to function correctly.
