Go through and Extract them to Whichever Folder you want.(Do not Worry if the pictures look odd in Dothalo)
Now open up Photoshop And open all of the bitmaps you extracted you Should have at least 5-7
Look through them a see which one Fits your Theme the best.
Now open up your map in Dothalo Go through the Bitmaps and stop at the scenery ones.
Look for the essantial Ones for instance the Texture of the ground For Burial mounds Is Detail_Sand
Now go through and extract those Vital Bitmaps. You Should Exttract at least 3-5
Now say the Texture for Burial mounds is way Smaller or Bigger than your SP texture!
Well In Find the size of the Burial mounds texture by Clicking Image And resize. Say it is 256x256
So resize the SP texture to 256x256. Dragn Drop it over onto the Burial mounds Texture and lay it out.
Now Back in Dothalo look at the Sands DXT form Its either DXT1 or DXT5 Then Say its DXT5 You save your New texture
In photosshop to DXT5.
