GIMP (free). If you want to pay for something, go for, mm, Photoshop, it's pricey, but worth (almost) every penny.

theres also a program called DXTBMP I find that it works good for exporting .dds files into .bmp and editing them, and it can also open up other image files and save them as .dds. It's also free.

Yes you can make a health hud with a dds file As for decals, like blood, smoke, etc. they have boxes in the file. Each box is a frame in the decal's 'animation'. You'd have to make a grid of however many frames you want it to be (4x4, 3x3, etc) and then paint in each frame. It is VERY tedious and difficult... There are certain decal tools you can find, not sure where. Do some searchin'.

Yeah, it's in your languagebank folder called mygame, then setuplevel.fpi I think. You can edit things from there. For newbies like you, download the FPI editor; lifesaver.
