It sounds similar to what I needed to make a squadron of aircraft. The
program I had written initially wrote a duplicate file but differently
named. Then, it scanned through that file for specific names and
increased the material name index in that file.
So, basically in this case you need a program that needs to scan the
file for ".DDS" and rename to ".BMP", whether it's an assigned texture
or the texture name itself, is that correct ? That way you don't have
to do anything because the assigned texture name still matches the
texture filename.
