Went out and bought UnrealTournament2003 and while playing it was astounded by the quality of the textures. So I started pulling them out of the UTX files so that I could put them into a HAK pack but found that the extracted textures are in a DDS format. After much searching I found a little link to a listing of tools, one of which was an Adobe pluggin for these DDS files which allows you to open and save DDS format files. (NOT the DDS files needed in NWN) So if you have UT2k3 and want to pull textures, use this pluggin.
This is a compilation of the old system into a single score. There were 3 that made this score of 1.00 then rounded to 1.

DraconisRex, I'm sorry, but it's you who doesn't understand. Have you actually tried out this file on Bioware's DDS format?
It doesn't work.
So far the only tools that DO work are DDSTools and dds2tga. Unfortunately they're only practical for small numbers of files, but that's probably fine for most.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS FILE

Well, well, well... Someone not understanding something makes a poorly thought-out comment and slammed the review....
This is a great plug-in for Adobe users. Why? Because Bioware uses the DDS format for its high-res textures.
Without this plug-in, you're stuck using the bulkier TGA files.
Ignore the rating and the previous comments. Some people just don't get it. And never will.
