Skinning
« on: January 14, 2004, 04:05:00 PM »

i am trying to make custom skins for halo pc but everytime i try to use them they either turn out black or they are messed up, they have lines running through it and it is random colors.

i am using this software that converts the dds file into a bmp and then another program to convert it back. Is this the problem? Should i convert it into a jpg instead of a bmp?
all ur help is greatly appriciated
Thanks smile.gif

When you save your modified texture to a DDS file (or convert it to DDS) try making sure that you save it with no MIP maps.  I don't know if this is a requirement for Halo, but it is with some other games that use DDS textures.
