PurpleDream Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Oct 2019 Posts: 31	So I have a default replacement for terrain paint - grass - that is in 1024 px. I would like it to be in 512. Should be easy enough, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Could somebody please offer a piece of advise or a link to a tutorial?

If you don't feel like going through the whole Gimp/Photoshop step, you can click the 512x512 mipmap (the list of textures to the left in the Plugin View in the TXTR), export this, and reimport with DXT. It should give you roughly the same result as resizing.

@simmer22, I swore I already tried that and it didn't work... but now it did, at least I was able to save the file

There are two parts in each - terrain-dkgreen_txtr and terrain-dkgreen_detail_txtr, I assume I need to update both of them. Thanks a lot for your help!
