Yes, all of them.
Downloaded.
Saved right? They looked like that in entity even before I exported them.

1) the site you downloaded the mainmenu.map, shared.map, and the single_player_shared.map from was hosting ****ed up .map files (illegally >_>)

2) saving as in Opening in Photoshop > Editing > Saving in the same DDS type.

When i open the bitmap internalizer i get an error: Error reading Bitmap. then it will internaliz it, but it clears what the bitm looks like and i'm left with nothing to edit when i open it up in adobe, it like clears the details when i when look in Entity 1.4. also, if i do inject it, when i scroll over it, i get that error message thats says it doesn't work then closes out of entity.

Downloaded and installed, yes. Do you have to open it separate with Photoshop? Or is it in it? (sorry, never skinned before) When ever I open the DDS Plugin I get this

1) That's not Photoshop, that's Imageready <_>.
2) You install the plugins to your Photoshop directory. You did that, correct?
3) Try opening Adobe Photoshop from now on. <_>

sorry to bump but it is a pinned topic so i hope it's ok
well i skinned an elite and added illum to it and also skinned that
and injected all that stuff back in and fixed encryption and saved changes
then put the map back on
but there is no skin just illum :/
i didn't use that bitmap internalizer because i didn't think i needed to because it didn't say i needed to so do i need to use it for the skin to work or what?
plz help and if you do i will add thanks :biggrin:

Bumping this is fine.

Internalising bitmaps is necessary because otherwise, that bitmap will be injected into all of your other maps, instead of that one. To fix this, gather new shared maps.

Care to get a picture of what is happening?

well i don't actually have the shared or sp shared maps, but im waiting for them(i posted in the clean maps topic asking for them)
and well the only thing i've done to the map is add illum so that the elite is glowing and i skinned it
i did the head,arms,legs,torso,illum and what not all skinned but the skin dosn't show up in the game :/ and i don't know why but was thinking that it was because i didn't internalize them is that why?

No. Internalising has nothing to do with how bitmaps appear.

Your illumination is probably just covering your Elite's skin. Just try to remove it. =/

I really don't think that's it but I just got back into modding and it's not all like never forgetting how to ride a bike :/
I wasn't really sure how to do things because i never skinned a biped
and im not sure i skinned the right stuff :/
I went to the bitm tag class
and skinned the Object\Character\elite\bitmaps\head, arms, torso, legs , arms self illum, legs self illum...... is that the right place to skin the elite?
sorry for all the questions and stuff but i really want to get back into this

EDIT: Sorry for the bump!!! How would I skin the actual map and not just the warthog? Also, when I skin a covenant vehicle (Spectre,Wraith, Ghost) its a very, very dark skin for some reason, I think its because of the glow but could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The skins there and I internalized before I injected, but its impossible to see without face-planting into the thing.

It worked fine for the warthog and Scorpion, its just the covenant stuff that it didn't work for.

Wtfh is the point of XboxSoftMods..
Every link you gave for shared map ect ect.. It all redirects me to the same page.. I click "Individual Xbox / 360 game files (NTSC) only" then "xbox game files" then "halo 2 game files" and the link is broken.. What's the point of those links?

The links are probably gone, being this was posted almost two years ago. All the map files can be retrieved from your original game disc anyways.
