It's a new version so it's hard to figure it out.
It's in different language in that tutorial of his.
i know how to put the dds in it, it's just that how do i put colors and stuff on it?

to put colors it's a combination of selecting the proper areas of the weapon and putting colors or designs you want in that selection area and then blending it to make it look natural (multiply, overlay, etc.), just skip all the parts about the texture and look at the part he talks about selecting the gun

when finished save as .dds, replacing your old .dds file
