I've downloaded all the guides at motherlode, searched the forum, etc.
I can have missed the relevant line in the guide, or the right word in the search textbox.... anyway don't blame me for asking about this, while i suppose is one of the most asked question.
So, it happens that i've downloaded one year ago all the Don Edward Earth textures (seasons, dds, png....all). I don't remember if i was able to see them at that time.
Anyway i still have the zip files here.

1st Question: do they need to be updated?
Now i want to put them in the Famous Extras folder, and use them as alternate textures.
Fisrt problem is "grouping" them:
what should i put in the lo/med/hi res folders?
Have i to choose if use DDS or PNG?
Then, what should i write in the AltSurface line of the new ssc file?
Thanks and sorry again if this question have been answered zillion of times: i was'nt able to find the answer.
