you need hmt, go to where it says bitmaps and go to about 3/4ths of the way down, click on warthog/warthog and click "inject texture" click on the skin and press ok.

go to hmt. go to file open and open a halo map(usually found in my computer/program files/microsoft games/halo/MAPS) go down to bitmaps and click on the one you want to save. press save texture. make sure you have photoshop and the dds plugin. the dds plugin can be found in the halo utilities section i think. the photoshop(paintshop pro works too) plugin can be found at adobe.com or whatever. once you have everything, open your .dds in photoshop and select no when it asks for the mip maps(at least thats what i do) modify the dds however go to save. when a big window pops up with nvidia's logo on it click dxt1 one bit alpha(hog is dxt1 but not all are. you can check this on the same screen in hmt where the save texture selection is). Then look below and click generate mip maps then press save. go back to hmt and the map you got the bitmap from and clicck on the same bitmap. press inject texture and select your texture. voila. pm me if you have a problem
