Question about bitmaps

How do you guys make it so that when I put your .map in my MAPS folder, somehow , you're bitmaps , which I didn't inject into my bitmaps.map , magically are in the map.

Could you rephrase your question, please? It doesn't make any sense.

ok, lets say I download a christmas themed map. This map has skinned their ARs to candy canes or whatever. Now, how can I see that skin, even though it's not in my bitmaps.map

Ah. Well, you'd need to download the patch the skinner put a download up for in the topic. Then apply the patch to your bitmaps.map file.
If you're asking how to skin, there's plenty of tutorials on this site on that. I'd give you a link but I'm a little busy at the moment.

k...but....there was no patch..

[edit] - also, when i took they're map out, i didn't still see their skins.

Ok wait, was it a skin for just one thing (like, an assault rifle skin), or was it a complete skin modification?

If its a complete modification - Did they give you a modified bitmaps.map file? If so, just replace it over your regular bitmaps.map file in the MAPS folder.

It was a map, not a .dds, or .ppf (i think that's the patch you were mentioning), all I did was put the map in my MAPS folder, and it auto-magically had the skins.

[edit] - no, it was not a full bitmaps.map replacement

Models themselves have no colour... its thier shaders and skins that decide their colours. If you remove the map (NOT BITMAP) and the colour reverts back to normal, it means that the person modded the maps shaders and so on... not they bitmaps
