you cannot convert a .ppf to a .dds

a .ppf is PlaystationPatchFile. it is used for patching playstation games, for emulators and stuff, it just makes a file that, when applied will take an original file in this case a map file, and change it to match that of a modified map file, so we don't have to upload huge files.

Just patch the map with the .ppf and then open any of the maps in hmt and save the bitmaps that were modified. It's pretty simple. And I already replied on one of those forums. I declare it Uber Bumpage :D

I hope Tural doesn't find this thread...
On topic: Here are some tips: Bitmap PPF files should be applied to a clean bitmaps.map. You cannot convert .ppf files to .dds files, you need to use one the above methods. Read the rules before posting, please? Good luck with your ripping. :wink:
