HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

OK i think i have all the programs i need in order to skin, only thing is I don't know how to.
I have photshop (including the plugin,dds, or whatever), and Dot Halo, i also have WinRAR (if needed).
Here let start off by skinning the warthog. Someone told me that i need to find, warthog_standard, and then extract it. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. Say i run Dot Halo i open the coagulation map and i find warthog_standard in the bitmap section, how do i "extract" it.
Here is what i see:


PLEASE HELP! Thanks

ur missing a plugin, a window should of popped up with the skin then you extract it from that window

keep in mind you might want to internalize the skin

how would get this window/plugin?

ok look at your pic, now you see where it says location? in this example it says external (MP shared) that means that you must sign the shared.map, if it says external (mainmenu) you have to sign mainmenu.map, and if it says internal sign the map that your editing, now after you sign just ftp wahtever map you signed back to your xbox but remember to clear you XYZ drives and the E:\CACHE, but itll take a while to load

i'll try that in a bit, but I have been looking around the site for some helpful tuts and i found that you had to save it in some way but i don't know which to choose this is what i see:


what do i have to do?

again refer to the picture, you see where it says format? in this example it says DXT2/3 that means you save it as DXT3, if it says DXT1 you save it as DXT1 alpha, and DXT4/5 means DXT5

umm i didn't quite understand that which format should i click it on? tell me which exactly because you just gave me many right now

wait why are you asking this?youve already injected the skin!!!

yes i did but it didn't work in game play so could you please explain again what i have to do to make it work or if one of you guys want to do it for me i could send you the .dds file
