How can you preview textures on SWBFViewer?

Post by RubikPanda »

I've seen other people on this forum show unit textures using SWBFViewer, but I'm not quite sure how to do it. I've opened a .msh which is in a new folder with the appropriate .tga but it closes down every time. Is there something that I need to do to the .msh, or is this the wrong program? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

(the .tga that I'm 'editing' is just "imp_inf_trooper.tga" with "imp_inf_stormtrooper.msh" in the same folder, the .msh is unchanged, just copied)

Sorry if this is a silly question

Many thanks,

Yes, it says "An exception of class OutOfBoundsException was not handled. The application must shut down."

I tried renaming the .tga and the applicable bits in the .msh but to no avail.
