Occasionally I have run into mods that have .bmp files in them... not knowing what to do with these (lousy Read Me file didn't mention them) I opened a few of those files to take a look and then took my best guess, putting them in my /textures folder. Another plug-in's "Read Me" file specified that at as the correct location (Data Files/Textures).

In firing up my game, I got errors, saying something to the effect that MW has found "filename.bmp", but can not use the file. My question is, what are .bmp files doing in a plug-in anyway?? I didn't think from the start that MW used the .bmp format, and now the error message seems to confirm it.

Should I just "disregard" plug-ins that have .bmp files in them, assuming that those files are just going to cause problems from the very start??

i dont think so, think ive had a mod or two with bmp files that seem to work ok. but some don't

*bmp file are textures and they don't need a specified folder as far as i can tell
i don't have a specified folder in my textures never had a problem with them

.bmp files, generally speaking, go into the gigantic dump that is your textures folder.

Thanks for the assist all!
