Extracting and converting textures/particle effects from War Thunder

[GM_Tecnicast]

[B]Greetings!

Now I really want to get the particle textures to use in editing, etc. There are some really good smoke and tracer round effects.

I was having trouble finding a way to extract textures from [I]War Thunder[/I] into an image format. I've tried extractor on the game's files and found there was further conversion needed but I could not find anything about converting the extracted "DDSX" files into a working format.

Any useful information on how to get textures out of War Thunder would be appreciated.
