Skinning questions

Ok... new to PC halo (aren't we all...) and i was wondering how to go about actually accessing the textures. Is there a universal texture for a warthog? or is the texture stored individually for each level? Are there any utilities currently out that allow you to edit the textures, and if so where can i find them?
Are there any skins out there currently?
sorry for the load of questions... thanks in advance for any answers.

No, those are very good questions. The textures are contained in a .map file (like everything else). The exact format of this file is unknown right now, but we are working on a utility to extract them if Gearbox doesn't release a utility soon.
Gearbox is supposed to release tools soon that will allow us to modify them, as well as maps.
Check out their editing FAQ here:

ok, thanks.
Yeah, i kinda figured the .map files contained everything, since they were really the only files of real size... and the one named "bitmaps" didn't hurt.
i could have sworn gearbox mentioned they were releasing a texture editor along with a map editor. Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to release a utility to make new maps that doesn't allow you to change the textures on those maps.
