yeah, you have to open the bitmap of the warthog, then open the water file. then, you must copy the stuff from the water texture you want, and place them on the desired corrosponding area on the hog texture. Then you save the hod .dds, and import it back into halo

Well actually sorry i'm not done here. I also have another question. Okay here goes...(i always say that *TRADEMARK*) when i open up the picture it is wayyyyyy too big for the hog picture thing only so i need to know how to get it off the window of the picture and into the picture with the bitmap of the hog....

*Ok here it goes*

To scale down the large water picture, press Ctrl+T, and maximize your warthog window, so you can see the edges of the water picture, and then you have to scale it down. When you have that done what I suggest doing is clicking the eye button next to the water layer in the layers window, and making it dissapear. Then, use the polygonal lasso tool to make selections of the hog that you want to replace with water. Then, click the place where the eye was, to make the water appear again. Then, press Ctrl+I to invert your selection, and delete the outsides. Then, paste your water picture that you had again, and start all over for another place on the warthog.
