by Hello, i try to make this guide simple and easy as possible!
Before we can start you need GIMP, download it Click
Then second thing you need is DDS plugin, download it Click
Now install GIMP, after that you can install DDS plugin, how to do that? Just extract your plugin to C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins and its should work!
Finally we can start with real fun! Very Happy
First we find item what to mod! How to find right item?
All weapon textures are "Dekaron-Apocalypse\data\texture\item" and armor textures are "Dekaron-Apocalypse\data\texture\character" and costume textures are "Dekaron-Apocalypse\data\texture\costume"
Some weapon codes:
sword-swd
shield-sld
knuckle-gan
dagger-ssw
2h sword-lsw
axe-max
bow-bow
cross bow-crs
2h axe-gax
mace-mac
2h mace-gma
twinblade- tba
wand-wad
staff-stf
spear-spr

coat-cot
gloves-glv
pants-pat
boots-bot
Wing codes:

Usually lvl 1 weapons end with 01.dds and from there you can go on until lvl 160!
Note! Its easy with GIMP beacuse you see also thumbnails of dds files!
Now open your GIMP and from menu choose File>Open> locate your game texture folder!

How to color? Well GIMP have different tools to color but best tool at the start is Colors>Color Balance, theres only 3 sliders but you can do alot things with these:D
![[GUIDE] How To Mod With Gimp Tutori11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f66/15/96/25/52/tutori11.jpg)
After you found right color we must save, File>Save ! If you use DDS plugin first time i suggest to use File>Save As, its bring up other window, choose File Type> DDS image>save>replace after that you get another window.
![[GUIDE] How To Mod With Gimp Tutori12](https://i.servimg.com/u/f66/15/96/25/52/tutori12.jpg)

hat compression to choose? You can always use none without problems, but sometimes its dosnt give good results(like transparent border over objects or holes in objects).
My suggest for textures that are'nt transparent, use BC1/DX1 for best quality, but if you mod something transparent like 160 weapons, you cant use this because its make them opaque in game , so then i use BC2/DXT3, i know theres alot different compressions but most of these dosnt give any good quality result!
