Sparkedit/HMT: How do I paste an object from one map into another?
Skinning: How do I open a picture to Reskin it? I have Macromedia 8 and when I try to open up one, it says file type invalid

Sparkedit/HMT:
you dont, the closest thing you can do to that is the import button and that only imports tags alread on the map just not used.

Skinning:
well I dont know if macromedia is even capable of that..
but Halo Bitmaps are in .DDS forms, and you need a DDS plugin for like gimp, Photo Shot, or MS paint. or you need a DDS convertor.

Where can I get a plug-in for that?

And I read in the Sparkedit Tutorial that you can import other things into the map using a combination of hmt and Sparkedit. I thought this was how people got logs and things to make sniper towers and whatnot

How do you put logs on Blood Gulch?
