Lo-Fi Games

Kay i have a low tier question here, but for some reason i have no idea what im doing wrong. So the question very simple, how do you change the color/texture of custom(and default) items in game.
I copy dds that go to the item im working from, and i change the color via Paint.Net, and then i add it in the textures of the item in FCS...to my logic it should work right? but it doesnt....what am i doing wrong?

can someone please write a guide on this
ive read around the forums, specifically the faces thread and the huge green mutant creating guy, but they start explaining one step after what im not understanding, so nothing they say there would make any difference to my problem.

Thanks!

Not sure,
but I gotta ask the obvious questions first are you sure you are loading the mod when you start Kenshi?

yes cause all the other stuff i add is there.

but when it comes to textures and stuff...im sure im missing a step somewhere, id love for someone to just explain....everything...from scratch lol. i might be messing with the wrong texture files, i might be putting it in the wrong place, i might be tweeking dds in the wrong way...who knows.

Could you describe what exactly is wrong with the textures you edited? Are they completely black ingame? If yes, you probably chose the wrong compression. Or forgot to generate mimaps.

Or is it that your textures don't appear on the item but the default ones? Then you need to duplicate the item first, otherwise it is somewhat stuck to the default texture.

oh dont worry i figured it out lol. Was using the wrong stuff for the wrong things. The ones i was trying to edit were monk robes, but since i couldnt find the file(which i did now) i tried something i thought might work...which didnt obviously lol
