You'll have to unpack them.

Go to Em4editor, load up mod, then choose mod->unpack file, choose the file(s) to unpack and then you should be able to open them as usual.

Check out my public mod, Honolulu Modification
I speak Swedish, Finnish, English and German (only a little German).

Yeah, sorry forgot about that part. My fault.

There are two ways:

The first method: In editor, select unpack file, go to the folder where the file is and add file.dds to the end. It will work even if the editor can't "see" the file.

Or method two: Edit the files name to file.dds.v30 (just add ".v30" to the end) and then it will show up in editor. Later you can change it back by simply removing ".v30".

I've tried this method...
I've renamed the file (original:6109) to "6109.dds.v30" but the problem is the same...
I've tried the first method again too, but the same... my file don't appear or the editor tell me "File don't exist!"

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I've made it and it work!!!!
