    You can use a small utility called DTXbmp. Look here: http://fly.to/mwgfx/

    Hey thanks! That actually works. Took me awhile to get it sorted but I can at least export the TGA to GIMP now, and it is no longer in woad... Now I can actually look at the unit TGA's. Don't know if I can get anything to save if I edit, but I'll take any small victory I can get.

    I generally use PS to edit .DDS files, but I did use GiMP+DTXbmp for a while. I seem to remember that it did something funky to the alpha channel. If you have this problem then try exporting the alpha with DTXbmp and adding it back on after you get done editing with GiMP, or save the .tga file without using compression.
