I am trying to figure out how to open up .erf files so I can try to learn how to mod different armor pieces in the game.  I want to look at the Sex Bra V1.erf from the www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php.  I was told I need to have Photo Shop which I downloaded the free 30 day trial.  I also downloaded the DDS addon from Nvidia.  I did that and Installed them.  But I can not figure out how to look at the pictures.  What am I doing wrong?

Any help or a nice tutorial on how to modify .erf files would be greatly appreciated.

pyGFF can open .erf packages. You can find it in the projects page.

but how do i edit the pictures in photoshop?  Okay I figured out how to export all from a ERF file in gff editor.  Now that I found the item pieces I want to modify in some type of Photo shop program.  I want to look at arm_nuda I see that it has 2 file extentions arm_nuda.phy and arm_nuda.msh.

Edit NM Figured out what I needed to do.  I didnt go in far enough dirrectories.

The files you want to edit in Photoshop will be .dds files (DirectDraw surface). It's DirectX's standard texture file format. .phy and .msh are different (physics and mesh?). Nvidia has a .dds plugin for Photoshop, but it doesn't work with the 64-bit version.

Okay, I know im going circles here but how do I get to open .dss files? I have gotten .dss plug-in to photoshop but that didnt work.
Im complete idiot when it comes to these kind of things BUT I am a wizard at texturing Okay thats little too much but I know my way around how to modify textures, the problem lies that I have no idea how to get them or open them or even put them in place. I usually have person to help or send those files to me in some form that I can mod them without me actualy doind the code things

Here's what I do cause the plug-in doesn't work on my machine (or I'm too silly to get to work..... well it's happened before!)

Download DXTBMP.

http://www.softpedia...rs/DXTBmp.shtml

You can use this program to open your DDS files. You then save as a 24BMP image and open it up in photoshop without any problems. Once you're done editing crack open DXTBMP again and save the file back to a DDS file and continue on your path of ERF packing etc.

It's a pain in the nether regions but it works.
