    you will need:

    IMPORTANT--.dds plugin for photoshop
    Halo multiplayer map

    open up dot halo, and find under bitmap (bitm) the vehicle, weapon, or object you want to skin.

    and save it as dmxt(*)

    *on dot halo, above the bitmap it says dmxt 1,2,3, whater it is you need it to be saved on photoshop.
    if it says dmxt2 AND it says dmxt3, save it as dmxt3 in photoshop (i dont even have dmxt2, but dmxt3 worked for these ones)

    save the file, and on dothalo, click inject, select the skin file from photoshop.
