Anybody know how to install a mod containing DDS and TGA files?

[DEDE14]

Hi, I recently downloaded a mod containing DDS, TGA and mesh files, does anybody know how to install it? The mod is attached. See when I open it there are several folders with DDS and TGA files inside.

This is the mod for XNALARA. The latest version of this program you can find on the site Deviant Art.

Thanks very much! Is there any method to transform this mod into TMC in order to install it in DOA5?

Methods exist, but they are not for beginners. Even advanced modders sometimes have trouble with porting XNALARA's models to DOA.
For information, you can read these links:

(first step   )

and

In addition, you should be prepared that the result will not be ideally similar to the original model, which you see in XNALARA.

Could you tell me what is the meaning of '3. Find a TMC matching the Xnalara model?' What is the standard of 'matching' in this step? Does it mean the same character? For instance, in this case I should find a Kokoro TMC?

Of course, it's better if it's the same character. Your task is to get a mesh for DOA (for Kokoro). This mesh you can use in different programs.
But this is not the only task. I added you another link, read it. ^^^^^

Thanks again for your help! I will try to make it as an experiment.
