Is there any proven method to preventing your injected bitmaps from turning black at a distance?

Yes, make sure you select "Generate MIP maps".

There is also a program, or application you can use called "Machimna Companion" (I KNOW I spelled it wrong...) and is available at HaloKit.Com's Program List

All i can think is using the Machima Companion, then selection bitmap LOD, (not model lod if i remember right :S)

Machinima Companion was not designed to be used for modding, when you use it to max out your LOD's you create holes in your map.. which is a bad thing.

yes but he just wants it so he can see his skins, which machima companion does a good job of

by the way, its an amazing program. what would you guys suggest if i were releasing a mod with my bitmaps? would they somehow fix themselves or should i just use the program as little as possible?
