im using photoshop 7 and i cant figure out the alpha map thingie. if i just make a simple blue water bitmap and save it as a tif file, and run tool normally, the water turns up in the game clear. thats w/o the fog btw and i know how to do that. but anyways anyone know how to make the image show up? im about 90% sure it has to do with the alpha map.

if u have a gfx card that is 64mb or below, then it got a downgrade for halo ce, and you cant see water PERIOD.
