alrighty....im new at halo modding but i can handle all the map makin n stuff....what i need to know is....how do i skin?....i mean i already have all the necessary software (adobe photoshop with dds plugins n stuff)....ive already saved the bitmaps i want to alter using hmtv3.5 ([bitm]....vehicles/warthog/bitmaps/warthog and vehicles/warthog/bitmaps/warthog tires)....i open them using adobe photoshop....click not to view the mipmaps....edit them away...save to same file......the thing is, though, when i try to inject them into the [bitm] tag using hmt it tells me that the texture im trying to inject is larger than the original texture and if i want hmt to update the altered texture to fit the size of the original...something like that....ive tried this allowing hmt to update it and without, but to no avail....can somebody plz tell me what im doing wrong?....anybody.....
and if im not giving you guys not enough information of what im doing then ask and ill be glad to assist yall in assisting me....
oh yeah....hmt also tells me that the texture must be either dxt2 or dxt3 but only after ive tried injecting the texture ive made....so im not sure if its my skindumbassness or what?
thanx for any efforts...
-edit- sorry if i put this in the wrong forum.....maybe instead of modding general this post should go to halo xbox editing?....
