Texturepack updated 2018/7/31 for RA: APB release version 3.2.3.0.

Awesome ? 

[NodGuy]

How can I use GIMP or something else for free to modify the colours? I want to make a few slight adjustments. 

[Raap]

Adjusting colours in GIMP can be straight forward, just alter the hue settings.

Honestly I find GIMP working very well for game development needs, it does those types of tasks better than Photoshop, which I find more orientated towards photography and printing jobs.

This. I've been using GIMP to add onto this texturepack ever since even the Beta days of APB.

Cool, thanks! I used to use a pirated version of Photoshop to make skins. Favourites were blue Nod for Renegade and Reborn (Hassan) and yellow/gold for Allies in APB (Black Ops 9). I can't wait to do these again using GIMP. ?

Edit: How can I make it so GIMP supports DDS files? It shows the image of the file in the folder but when I open the file I get the following error: "Opening 'file name' failed: Unknown file type." Thanks.
