WIP = Work in Progress
Stock = unmodified, also known as originals or vanilla maps
Bump maps
UI editing: open UI.map with Eschaton.

UI bitmaps and sounds can be internalized. The pixelation problem is probably due to the homebrewed DXT compressor that I wrote. You might try using HMT which might have some better results.

HMT fails even more.
I can make a A8R8G8B8 image for you with the same size as the Halo Logo, and you can replace the logo with that. Importing images into an A8R8G8B8 bitmap doesn't compress its quality :)

Remember my hog Amy? How the tires looked bumpy? and the normal ones look flat? That's what bump maps do.
