Hello guys !
I'm about to create my own world and so i'd need you to answer some of my questions before i start please !
1- Is it normal that i don't see the Riverview's bridges in CAW ? Are they there ?
2- Would you know a free image converter to transform JPEG or PNG images into DDS ones ? I found some, but they mark every images i convert
3- Is there a possible way to recolor the CAW objetcs ? Like the bridges ?
Thanks
!

What's the matter ???

Hi, Estyle!
1 - Yes, it is normal to see the Riverview Bridge missing. Infact, it's not a bridge. It's only two pieces of a sort of facade (I think you'd call it) I personally, would like to have them, but EA did not grant my wish. :?
2 - I don't have a clue what that means, sorry.
3 - I'm sure there is ... I heard that you can change the colour of rabbitholes, the sky, moon etc. But, it looks very complicated indeed ... there was a thread about all that a whie back. Sorry I cna't provide it.
Hope that helped. :P
Here is the second question : I have a JPEG format image and i'd like to convert it into a DDS format, but i don't have any image converter
photoshop the latest version can do all these things, also can convert heightmaps without the fuzzy lines, though im running a trial version, i can get 80% off because im a student :roll: sadly, i dont have any money what so ever
paintshop can change files to tga simple and quick
gimp works well too!many people would recommend that
and paint.net im told,
changing rabbit holes is not really all that complicated, it does require some fairly good skills in a editing program though, iv been meaning to do something .... i will brb to this message :roll:

Or, Gimp here:

Not sure about other programs though.
You can recolour rabbit holes, bridges etc. Stw's thread about it here:

The guy that lost his inspiration for lot building is moving on to worlds. Good luck in your endeavor! You should take the time to read the manual (it is not great, but has alot you should know) and take a look at some of the posts here. All the questions you asked have been answered here before. You would not have to wait for an answer if you search it. I found in my CAW days that it was alot quicker to search. So what kind of world are you doing? Any theme in mind?

I tried to search but most of the time the searching log doesn't work here and i don't know why so ...
angel_lillie : Thank you so much ! I have gimp but how does that plugin work ?
If you follow the link given and then click on the downloads tab there is a file gimp-dds.pdf - try downloading that, hopefully there will be instructions in that. I've never used Gimp so I can't help any more than that unfortunately.
Click on the current version link at the bottom of the page and then save the exe file somewhere (like your downloads folder or your desktop) then double click the file and it will install the plugins for you.
