Reskinning models

How hard is it to do this in Fallen Enchantress? I tried editing an existing texture using Photoshop and an nvidia .dds plugin, but I couldn't get it to work right. I am pretty sure I messed up when trying to save the .dds because there are so many options.

Can someone give me a brief rundown of how to modify existing textures to create new ones? I just want to do simple things like recolor some of the animals to add more variety in mobs etc.

 

Thanks in advance!

You can use a .png instead of a .dds for skins.  I've had success just using a saved .png from Photoshop.

I didn't even think to try that  XO .

 

Will this work for things like sovereign/unit skins as well?
