I want to take a .jpg file and use it as a texture. Creator only uses .rgb files. Is there a simple method for conversion? I googled it, but can’t seem to find anything. Any Thoughts?

if you just want to place them in the texture palette and use from there this is what i do
with the texture palette open i select a texture
then i copy and past a existing texture
then go to the bar and select info->List Textures
select the copy texture and replace file
it will let you select any type of texture dds, jpg, etc.

if you want to do a batch include im not sure, and im sure there’s another way.

Creator only uses .rgb files.

This is not true, Creator supports many image file formats, including JPG.  Simply load them directly into your Texture Palette like any other image type (there is no need for the convoluted “Replace File” technique suggested).

In the Read Pattern dialog, check out all the file types:

There is a Photoshop plugin that allows the program to read and write .rgb files. Simply load your .jpeg in, and save it out as a .rgb file.
