That could be because you have your maps cached and Halo2 is loading the cache maps instead of your original .maps. What you would need to do is ftp to your xbox using unleashx or evolutionx and find the x,y, and z partitions. Delete the files in those. Reboot. Then start up H2 and load the map. Now they should appear skinned.

hey i think i figured out what it was i forgot to internalise but also at first i was using the program dxtbmp to open the dds in cs2 but now i tried out the nvidia plugin and the bmps are always strectched out making large black areas down the side of my hog im just gonna try doing it with dxtbmp again then ill repost thanks for your help dude

Try better grammar?

Take your backed up Shared.map and replace the one on your HD.

think you misunderstood the skins are on but the original hog colour is still visible blended in with the skin?? and how do you edit bumps?

your problem is the alpha layer in the .dds file. delete it in photoshop or GIMP.

the only way i can delet the alpha is to use the nvidia plugin but that stretches my images on cothalo so i usually use DXTbmp where i can edit the alpha but not delete :S ideas?
