i dont know of many tuts, but youll need to get the dds plugin for photoshop i think. i dont have photoshop so im not sure. then you need to extract what you want to skin, like say the warthog. you open the map in dothalo and extract object\vehicles\bitmaps\warthog_standard. then do what you want with it. you have to save it as the same type of dds as its original, it show it in the raw data editor in dothalo. its a dxt somthing. then you inject it into the map. if you are doing it for just one map and not the shared map you need to internalize the bitmap. to do this you need, http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php ... nternalize you just open the map you put the skin on, and find that bitmap and internalize it . then sign the map and send it over.
