Need some help with warthog stuff...

Post by Doom »

I have been following this TuT and it dosent seem to be working out for me... and I have another queston down further.

Here is what I do because this isnt working for me. tell me what I am doing wrong.


1. I open my warthog skin in photoshop. then I minimize it inside photoshop.

2. then I go to File>New and I open a new thing in photshop that is transparent. it os all chekered boxed so I know it is transparent.

3. I drag my warthog skin which is set as Background to the New thing I made in photoshop which is transparent. It becomes layer 2.

4. I merge the 1 and second layer whic the first was the orignal transparent thing I opened.

5. I take the eraser and blot the vent out. then it is all checkered box there.

6. I then save the skin as a .dds DXT1 and Genereate mip maps.

7. I inject it in HMT and it shows my skin and where the vent is it is white like it should be right?

8.I get ingame and the vent is totaly white instead of not being there. I need help making it dissaper... but it is just turning white


the reason I want to do this is because I am making a skin pack and I want one set of skins to look Realllllllllly good. so If you can help my problem please help


Also I am making a warthog and I want to put the logo of the themed hog right in the middle of the front of the hog. I have seen someone make a hog for Bungie and they had the name right in the middle of the front reading fully bungie all the way across. but dosent the bitmap just copy itself and invert it self to be the other half of the warthog? Because I dont want 2 same halfs of my log it would look to weird, lol.


Thanks in advance
