A quick request

Ok, I have recently been experimenting in skinning, and my scribbled-on hog is in every map i put in, and so is my red skull, do to the fact that HMT modded the bitmaps as well as bloodgulch. I would like to start fresh, so i can make a few skins and put them on my site. I think i need a new bitmaps, so could someone give me one? Thanks.

And by the way, Why does the skinning change my bitmap so the skin is in every map, but someone who has the mod (other than the maker) doesn't have any lasting effect? Au revior...

Reinstall Halo Demo. Look at the size of the bitmaps =P

Yeah, it'd be faster to just redownload Halo. The bitmaps file is close to 80 MB.

And the full version bitmap is over 300 MB.

Yeah, the bitmaps make up most of Halo. After all, imagine how bland Halo would be in black & white.

Bitmaps are basically a bunch of pictures. A LOT of pictures.

OK i will. The problem is, do i have to make a copy of bitmaps for every mod with a skin in it? Or can i erase the skin from bitmaps? Please let me know. Somehow I dont think that bunny, SI19, or sword makes copy of bitmaps for every mod they make. And anyway, why does skinning only change the maker' bitmaps? Thanks for the help, Pick.

For me at least I don't edit the bitmaps, I just use the already exiting ones and just replace which bitmap is used. That way I don't have to bundle the bitmap file as well.

Eh, I don't really skin much, so there isnt a reason to give out a copy of a map that someone already has.

Bunny, I didnt really understand any of that. Its possible to skin without editing the bitmaps? I redownloaded halo, and sounds map isnt that much smaller. Why o why does a mod user's bitmaps not get edited when they use a mod?

What A Bunny meant was that if you change the bitmap being used to another bitmap that is already included with Halo then you don't need to include the bitmap file.

But I think you will have to swap the two bitmaps.

You don't have to swap, you can replace.
