A relatively simple save options screen is used. To access VTF’s more esoteric features make your textures with VTFEdit. There are two GIMP-specific features. VTFEdit supports at least 2 different file extensions. The basic files that VTFEdit supports are.VTF. However, not all of the extensions listed on the list are always used to save the effects of work in VTFEdit. Very often, files with such extensions are used as source data files used by VTFEdit.

Every week, VDU would dredge up a hard-to-find (or in some cases, still being developed) modding tool for some purpose, write a page about it, and mirror it on our site. Several active tool authors gave their blessing in their work being mirrored here. Of the older ones, VDU oftentimes offered documentation and other materials that aren't often found with the program itself.

Additionally, as some of the tools I had saved didn't make it onto the site before the shutdown, you can peek through some more rare finds without pages in the unpublished/ directory.
