This tutorial will hopefully help you to skin a vehicle, vehicle etc. using another pattern (camo etc.) with a neat trick I found. 1. Open the map you wan't to skin in 'Eschaton 0.8' 2. Go to the 'Bitmaps' tab 3. Open it, then go to the weapon/vehicle or whatever you feel like skinning. 4. Find the ...

How do you change the terrain like that? I tried to make bloodgulch a desert and it didn't work. Edit the bitmaps there's a few named cliff and bloogulch/blood just change those to b30 snow detail from the b30.map or which ever map and copy over the new bitmap.map file into maps replacing the old o...

What Moxus said is right, but I'd like to add that in SwordEdit, the entrances and exits appear as cyan and yellow rectangles. Click on one and look at the bottom right of the window to see the item's name (when not under the Render tab). It doesn't matter where you put the teleporter entrance, so ...

I've played many times on maps where modders have altered the boundaries of the map.
Example players will be up on top of the cliffs sniping the other team.

Is there a way to alter that in eschaton and put teleporters to get up to the cliffs?

Just finished my mod, it's not a serious gamer's mod just some fun on good old bloodgulch, with some snow:D Heres some pictures http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/videolord200/Mods/Screenshot2010-07-24at25826PM.png Elites killed by grunts. http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/videolord200/Mo...

Ahhaha! thankyou sir! You made my day, My map looks nice I will post pictures shortly after having some fun on it.

Eschaton isn't co-operating with me, I get the cliff_snow_detail and cliff_snow bitmaps from the b40.map recursively extract them, inject them into bloodgulch.map and rebuild. I open up bloodgulch and try to change the tags flaming bunnies said to change. But when I choose either cliff snow or snow ...

Thanks but I only see snow flakes falling down, I meant for snow to cover the ground. Hmm......I think there has to be some bitmap editing or something please share if you know what to do.

Can't find the rain tag on scenario or globals, I changed a black itmc tag to rain snow but still didn't work.....

^ not bitmaps. look in the 'rain' tag I did this and it didn't work: Opened b30.map and I tried b40.map as well. Then went to rain tag extracted it opened bloodgulch.map then expanded bloodgulch.map imported tag then clicked rebuild copied it to map folder and no snow:( I used Eschaton 0.8, any hel...

Then inject into bloodgulch and d-swap it in the scenario. (is it scenario or globals... check both...)

What exact bitmaps should I be extracting?

And isn't CSS meaning that other players need the map if they join your game?

I have made this map containing the following adjustments: -Grunt AI war two teams -Full Auto sniper rifle -Full auto pistol uzi -Assault rifle grenade mod File Size: 13.35MB Map: Bloodgulch CSS: Yes http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss92/videolord200/Mods/Screenshot2010-07-22at94422PM.png http://i...

Editing Halo 3 .map files and using them again on an Xbox gets really hard unless the Xbox is jtagged. It WOULD be awesome to have an app like Eschaton that can mod Halo 3 on a Mac though. Yes that's it! We need one for halo reach definitely! Hopefully spark can help us, or better yet Bungie releas...
