Hey!!! How do we replace models? I wanna replace the Halo Ring Planet Model with a Covenant Cruiser Model If I cant find one in any map files. Such as Keyes... Can we do this?

replacing models are easy and can be done with simple offset swaps, but the battle cruiser is part of a bsp so we cant use it

- Thanx to u 2 for the halo2 back ground btw

Ummmm I guess I could do that! All you have to do is extract the DDS bitmap files from the cache and put it into the PC map file right?! Remember!!! I am an unexperienced modder ever since I quit! LOL

hey halodude, how did you go about getting the edited logo image to inject properly, I'm having trouble injecting a replacement logo, it seems i am not saving my new version with the correct settings, can anyone help me with this, or tell me where to find the settings that the original file uses? all i know how to do is try saving and see what the plugin picks as defaults, and i know that's not working.

So, what happens when you try to inject it and what are you trying to inject in the place of?

I actually figured it out, thanks though, i was saving with the wrong settings in photoshop, i couldn't work out what radio button selections i was supposed to be using but i got it through trial end error

now i just need to learn how the alpha levels stuff works. I'm getting there with my multi version disc, it's starting to look cool.

Gaaaaaaaaaa...if only I had more time to learn more of this stuff. Your disc sounds great though. Good job.

Yeah the alpha. In the Alpha channel the the more black the color is the more transparent it is. The whiter it is the more solid it will be on the screen.

yeah, i'm just no photoshop pro, i'll get the hang of it eventually.

HaloDude · Post by **HaloDude** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:50 pm

Well no I didn't even know that! I had to ask someone. Bungie made that alpha channel and how it works. Like I can make an alpha channel and make it work differently for me. Alpha is just an extra channel to create more things on with a different function instead of just adding the red blue and whatever the other channels are if u know what I mean.

halodude: yeah i get ya, i'm getting to grips with photoshop now though, it's coming along rather nicely if i do say so myself, the ui. is almost complete, i just need to finalize my map selection and come up with screenshots and descriptions of the levels, I re-built a multi-game xbox disc menu to be more halo themed and using the build number workaround i don't need to include a cache clearing tool on the disc. my playtesters are loving it.

Cool!

Mybe you can even modify mine a bit more?

thescottishguy · Post by **thescottishguy** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 6:42 am

most of the modifications i've done are pretty specific to the tournament disc i'm putting together, (text edits, adding " CL version 1.1 (CaliforniaLAN edition) to the logo file, also working on adding my logo above the halo logo, replacing the map preview images and desacriptions with ones that go along with the maps i use etc etc) what kinda stuff did you have in mind?

If there's interest in the version of halo i use i'd be glad to put up a tutorial and ppf package, it just might take me a while.
