Why can't you do them? Do you get some kind of error? Tell us.

i think either he doesn't have photoshop and doesn't want to make the lightmaps pitch black with Paint
or maybe he has photoshop, but has no idea how to use it
or maybe he somewhere where he doesn't have access to modding tools, i remember that happened once, nobody made the skin for me so i had to wait till i got back

I have photoshop.
I've tried 3 times.
My map was either really REALLY DARK or it turned green.

Follow Pepsi's lightmaps tutorial then. A little goes a long way. And you don't have to edit lightmaps to make a level look darker.

There's a way to change the lightmaps without greening the map, you just need to change the bitmap type to DXT1, or somthing that HMT doesn't FUBAR when it injects.
There's a tutorial on doing this here: http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.ph ... 364&t=8558
