easiest way i know of is this

1) google and download the halo 2 vista bitmap extractor
2) run it and point it to the halo 2 vista map editor (specifically the map editor) directory (folder)
3) find the tag for the object you want change and remember the name
4) find the bitmap for that image
5) extract the bitmap (remember the folder where it is)
6) edit the bitmap with... photoshop, or in fact even m$ paint
7) save the bitmap
8) navigate to the folder where you extracted the bitmap from
9) copy the original bitmap (its in that folder) to somewhere memorable
10) keep that window open
11) use the map editor launcher to compile the changed bitmap (the one you edited)
12) move and replace the edited and now compiled bitmap into the folder where the old one is (should still be open)
13) place the tag of that bitmap into a new map in sapien and you should see your handi-work

hope that helps this is once again my method i am plenty sire there are better methods for this
