In GE open the window "Material Editing", search for the material name you want to change.

Then open the i3d in a text editor.
In section <Files> you add your "normalmap.dds". Be careful to choose an unused fileId.
In section <Materials> you search for the selected material and add your <Normalmap fileId=".."/>

Case the material uses a shader, you might have to adapt shader parameters.

If the GE still crashes, there's probably something wrong with your normalmap's graphics format.
