The pic doesnt work

You need to get the Old maps off your xbox. or on your HDD if you want. Just follow this tutorial http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=42927 you need to put the shared.map in the same map folder as your old maps. All of the maps are on your disc.

Merge the layers together, cut it out, paste onto a new image, and it should let you save.

ok it will save now but I think I heard somthing about saving it like a DXT5 (interpolated Alpha) or a DXT3(explicit Alpha) or just click save

EDIT: I jsut tryied clicking save and when I fixed encrytion and sighned the map and started it up, it looked the same ( gauth and maching gun)

Internalize the bitmap or Clear your cache...

Look at what the DDS it originally was, DXT* and save as the same DDS format. To find out the original format look in the bitm tag and look for the bitmap you extracyted and it will tell you the format in the raw Data Editor window.

Did you internalize it. Not sure if it has to do with the problem but did you?

No. Cause when I tryied that it froze

MrBalll · Post by **MrBalll** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 4:55 pm

Did you internalize everything, the first time, that had to do with the warthog and not just the main warthog bitmap tag?
