Hi, I need some help with a re-skinned carriage. The re-skinned version I made in Paint.net is in a .dds format. I read that Open Rails accepts .dds, but it shows up as a blank shape in TSRE. Do I need to re-convert it to .ace or is it something else? I do know that the .s file is compressed. This is my first time reskinning anything, so I don't even know if I did everything right. Thanks.

TSRE handles .dds files just fine. No reason to convert.
If both .dds and .ace files exist then OR will default to .dds and TSRE will default to .ace but both handle .dds natively.

There's "S-viewer DDS" extended utility.
Teoretically, TSRE could show it too, or I remember badly...
