Hi, im new to kf modding and modding in general, but i need to work with an utx file containing some custom perk icons. I need to create another icon because a new perks has been added to the server, how can i work with utx file? how i can create another icon from the starting icons in the file. i dont really know where to start, any suggestion its appreciated ;D

In the KF SDK, in the texture browser you can open your utx file, export textures, modify them and then import them under a different name. I like using paint.net and save as a .tga file.
Here's some reference that might be useful: https://docs.unrealengine.com/udk/Two/UnrealTexturing.html

By the way, paint.net allows saving directly in .dds format without using .tga in between. I'm not sure if it is a core feature or a plugin, but I'm using it all the time.

Ok so, i opened the utx file contaning perks icon. Now i have a problem, i need to basically create a new perk, a new group in which i have to re-work the icon itself. I need the external circle, i need to delete the black weapon on the upper level and lastly i need to delete the white small image inside the circle. Now, is it possible to do this inside the sdk? I have some experience in photoshop but ofc it doesnt read .dds file, so i imnagine i have to work with paint.net?

1. Export a texture from SDK to a file (right-click on the texture / Export to File...)
   
2. Edit the file with an image editor of your choice
   
3. Import the modified file. If the file has the same name, SDK will override the existing texture.
