ok, here's the problem. im at the part where i need to open my bitmap in guerilla. when i open it, a message comes up saying "you need to set your working dirctory." i have no idea what this is. can someone tell me what it is?

Lucky Day For You! lol

I just tested what i thought could be the problem. And I figured it out. You get that message if you try to open the actual .tif bitmap. What you want to do is create the bitmaps within the tags directory

EX: tool bitmaps levels\******\bitmaps

****** = your map name

that will create a folder within the tags\levels directory named after your level with a folder insided labeled bitmaps (where in located should be the .bitmap)

You want to open up the .bitmap then change it to the explicit alpha etc etc etc, i hope you can figure out the rest on what i have given you.

Good Luck

Hmmm, are you opening the texture bitmap thingy from the data folder or the tags folder....because when opened from the data folder that is the error.

What you want to do is open the one tool creates which is in the tags directory then levels...yea this:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\tags\levels\******\bitmaps

****** being your map name

lol if u have video software...record what you are doing, that would help so much!

if not then maybe take some picks of the steps?...or i could film a mini piece starting with the bitmaps lol

so many possibilities...think about that and tell me what u wanna do
