So I've made a few mods for the game and have never really had any problems, but recently I've tried to edit some textures for the game using the Texture Editor. But when I try to access the interface-backened.cpeg_pc file I always get an error. I can edit the menu loading screen file but not the other one, any ideas?
Also, i was wondering if anyone knew if you're able to use the shield that some edf troopers carry with them, thanks.

I never was able to edit skin textures. My guess is that there is something you have to do to make it work in the game but lord knows what it is. So samanya is still moustache-less! RE: the shield question. It's not a weapon so probably not. HOWEVER i do know that you can change the "weapon model" for the weapons in weapons.xtbl, and that the tag is called "item" or "item3d" So maybe you could try changing that on another useless (arc welder!) weapon and seeing what happens.

I did try once to change it from the welder to an actual vehicle model. I dont think that had a happy ending!
