Extract textures using the WOTGreal Exporter.

Rename the map extension from .dx to .u, then point WOTGreal Exporter to the place where the map lies, select the map file, switch to the textures mode, tick the texture, hit "export to pcx".

You need to convert the texture into the 8 bit format. If you don't know how, tell me which image editors / viewers have you got.

Open the image, in "Image" menu, select "Mode". Make sure "8 bit/Channel" is ticked, then select "Indexed colors". Use these settings:
Palette: local (adaptive), colors: 256, forced: none, transparency unticked, dither: none.

Then "File" > "Save as" > .pcx.

What kind of file are you trying to load?
A PCX file, or UTX?

Utx won't load in Photoshop, Pcx should. Try exporting it using WOTGreal to the .bmp format. Maybe you won't even need to convert it.

I'm not sure, but I think you can load .bmps straight to UnrealEd.

And try to load it from there.

Venom, you do know you need to press 'Import' and not 'Load', right? As it's a new texture, you need to import and then 'Save' into a new UTX package.

Place ZoneInfo actor and in it's properties increase AmbientBrightness to desired level.

Or place many Light actor with their LightRadiuses set to high values.

The second way is better.
