ok no luck with ambulance 01 here's what I did
1 changed the file in LA mod/ Model/vehicles/LA ambulance/ change name from ambulance01.dds to ambulance011.v30
2 went to the editor loaded the la map under mods la 2.0 then under the same menu unpack file model/ vehicles/ LA Ambulance/ abulance011.v30
3 quit the editor when back into my computer files and changed the name back to the original and back to a .dds file
4 went to DDS converter 2.1 and tried to convert the file and I got could not load ambulance01.dds
Hey there NHFD, I think the extension you are using is wrong, its suppose to be .v3o not .v30. In other words, the zero is suppose to be a o as in the word oh. If you don't understand what I mean, just copy and paste this.. ambulance01.v3o .. when you rename the file.

Hi I am using photoshop CS3 Extended and I follow the steps and turned it into a jpeg and I made a second layer and got the paint bucket and put it on the tool that colors over the colored parts of the vehical and when I save that Nivida thing comes up so I choose .DDS and it says somthing about the power of four. Oh and is it also normal that when you open it up it photoshop it shows the same pic like five of them but going from large to small? Please help its holding me up from a skin I want to do. Thanks for reading.

Welcome to mipmapping : ) Basically, when you are far from the texture, it shows you a rougher version, saving resources. Google for "mipmap wiki" and read up.

in the first part says : You have to rename the file to something else and change the extension from dds to v3o, this will allow the editor to unpack the file making it readable by Photoshop or a dds converter.
but how can i change the extension dds to v30??

If you have Windows Vista or 7: Right click the file, click on Properties. Click security and then click edit. Go to Users and click the allow box for full control. Then try saving the editied file, it should now work.Tried that...

As far as I can remember XP/Vista/7 all "hide" the file extension from the user unless told not to do this. What I mean is, that "Readme.txt" shows only as "Readme" the .txt portion is hidden from view, in order to correct this, go into "My Computer" I'm not sure if you can see the file menu at the top, if not I think it's F10 to display the File Menu.... Under Tools You will find Folder Options. In the View Tab of Folder Options find the checkbox with "Hide Extensions for known File Types", UNCHECK that and press ok, you can now see the extensions and rename the files to whatever you need them to be.in the first part says : You have to rename the file to something else and change the extension from dds to v3o, this will allow the editor to unpack the file making it readable by Photoshop or a dds converter.
but how can i change the extension dds to v30??
When you change the .dds to .V3O you will get a warning pop-up that says:
If you change a file extension, the file may become unusable Are you sure you want to change it?
Yes is the answer you need to choose.
From there load the editor and UNPACK the file and then rename it back to DDS you can now edit the skin.

Trying it now...
How do I get rid of these?
BTW: How do I edit a door? (the paint on it)
The door file is linked to the original skin of the LAPD car (if you look in your folder, there will be a file for each door the LAPD car but not for the car you skinned). To change the paint on the doors you either have to re-paint the LAPD car (which you probably don't want to do) or you can try and make new doors(or copy them?) and assign it to your car so the skin of that body shows up on the doors. Now linking the door file to the skin is easy, how ever I am having trouble myself making a set of doors for the car I am working on. Hopefully some one can help us on that issue.
