Okay, im trying to skin and i can get up to the point where you have to open in photoshop, then phtoshop says it does not know this type of file. Anyone know how to deal with this?

You must have done something wrong. HMT exports it as a jpg file last time i checked.

Yeah, you have to be sure to export the image from HMT as a .JPG file. Then you open it in Photoshop.

That's one of the most important steps lol. Don't worry though, I had the same problem when I started out.

Just don't forget to re-import it and make the header changes once you are finished.

I know how to skin halo with HMT by editing the bitmaps.map file, but I think I've seen mods that change the look of things without changing the bitmaps.map file (like the coliseum mod). How is this done?

Yes, I to would like to know that.

There's bitmaps in Bloodgulch you know? If you have the 4 byte offset list you would know.

Yes, haha i accidentily deleted that though. How would i get it to work though? Some guy sent me the H2 skins for the cyborg and i put them in so how could I get it to work w/o attaching bitmaps.map say if i uploaded it?

Wait, theres a way to do bitmaps without changing the bitmaps file? what is the advantage of this? and how do i do it, please tell me.

No, the only thing you can do is swap and replace bitmaps. This is usefull, but restricted to bitmaps in BG. The advantage is people dont have to download bitmaps, but in return the bitmaps in the mod must be swapped or replaced *ONLY*.

Please tell me how then.

Just swap the offsets. The offsets are in Monoman's offset list.

Wait swap the offsets? Shadow I am confused.

Maybe he meant swap the values?....It's just a normal 4 byte swap or 16 byte replacement in the bitmaps section of bloodgulch.
