If someone else made the skin, apply the ppf to bitmaps.map (or if it's a .dds open up a map in HMT and inject it in)

You can get PPF-o-matic here.

You can get HMT here.

If the mod isn't a skin you should apply the ppf to the map it is for. Maps are in the maps folder inside the halo directory, usually C:\Microsoft Games\Halo\Maps

That site is pretty vague...
Download this and instead of unzipping it, just run ppftools\ppfwin\ppf-o-matic v2.0\pff-o-matic.exe :
http://www.paradogs.com/download/pdx-ppf2.zip
The PPF file goes in the first box. The map file goes in the BIN-file box.
Hit apply, and the map is patched with the mod.

You're applying the ppf, not making it. Open PPF-O-MATIC.EXE from that zip file I linked to and in the first slot, put the ppf patch, in the second put the map. If it's a skin, for the map you put bitmaps.map instead of the name of the map.

Use PPF-o-Matic to apply the .ppf to a map.

Freedom please resize your sig to 400 px in width please.

on the ppf files it says unknown encoding method or something like that, so what is wrong with it? also ive been messing with the hmt editor thing and everytime i try to play this exception thing comes up, how do i remove that, and my warthog turrent doesnt have a reticule or fire anymore how do i fix it or set it to a default, just one more thing how do i give the warthog banshee phisics and have the chaingun fire rockets.
