[guitarassasin77]

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.

double click the thing your skinning, and click extrat bitmap.

keep dot halo open and open up photoshop.

open your file and skin any color, picture you want on it.

when you save, save it as .dds YOU NEED THE .dds PLUGIN FOR THIS!!!!

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.

hopefully it successfully injected, and there should be a window. [and obviously you will notice the picture is your skin]
