Skinning Halo2 MP maps
You will need
Dxtbmptx-
http://files.filefront.com/dxtbmpxEXE/; ... einfo.html
Dothalo-
1) open up your map in dot halo
2) go to the bitmap tag [BMP]
3) select the bitmap you want to edit
4) in the prewiew dialogue, select extract- note the file type such as 'DXT
5) open up dxt.., open the extracted bitmap i.e: floor_wall.dds
6) image> send to editor
7) edit it with your editor such as paint and save it (ctrl + s)
in dxt slect image> reload after edit
9) save it as a .dds bitmap and the type of dxt noted i dot halo (step 4): it should overwrite
10) In dot halo go back to your original bitmap, select inject
11) select the edited bitmap, it should say ' done injecting bitmap'
12) fix encryption on map and close map
13) FTP it back
14) enjoy
This tut Works 100%!

you left out one tiny, tiny detail in the beginning.
INTERNALIZE THE BITMAP, HOW CAN YOU MISS THAT!

I use dothalo almost exclusively for skinning. I use entity only for duplicating shaders. Other than that, I'm 100% a dothalo guy. Entity is great, but it's not a skinning app by any means.
Ch2r is my second choice.

I am exactly right there with you.

Me 3! lol. Entity extracts mip maps and all and also easily extracts bumps but I stil lthink DotHalo is faster when it coems to quickly getting bitmaps out of a map in bulk.

I use drakmatter so I don't need to save in .dds. I can just open it up in paint or photoshop CS2 without any other downloads (can't get plug-ins to work right)

Ok anyways back to the tut.
I think it is very mediocre, and many people do not look for the fastest way to skin, more of the best way to skin. We don't like 5 min mods >_<.
