HOW DO U INSTALL SKINS
select case skin mod
case .ppf:
apply the .ppf patch to bitmaps.map using ppf-o-matic (there are tutorials included in the mac modding apps download on halomods, it also includes most of the apps you'll need including ppf-o-matic).
case bitmaps.map:
drag and drop the new bitmaps.map (or more likely a compressed version that you'll have to uncompress) into your maps folder.
case raw image file (.dds or other):
open a map which contains the skins you're going to apply in HMT (0.7.5 if you get info on it). (make sure that bitmaps.map is in the same directory as your target map.) find the bitm tag that relates to the skin. press the inject texture if .dds or just inject if it's another image format. HMT should crash if you click on anything else.
end select
No matter what, you should back up any maps you are altering for this process. Even if you're injecting skins on a gameplay map, it's actually editing data in bitmaps.map so that will be changed.
