1-u take the map that u will apply the ppf to and open it in the top box of the ppf-omatic and then the actual ppf in the lower box
2-there r other programs u can use but i dont kno them cuz i use photoshop, u need a .dds plugin for photoshop if ur gonna skin
3-use the search there r a cuple of tutorials on making AI and if u dont kno how to skin or apply PPF u suggest not tryin to do this yet becuz its extremely long
4-u have to swap textures and stuff in SE i think

There is a PPF tutorial in one of the forums, I suggest reading it.
I dont know about skinning though.

ok, i figured out the skinning...umm.....how do u put in a pic, all i get is something in []
3 more things:
1) i tried to inject a new scenery thing, and a pop up said that the file being injected was too small and HMT would resize it, then it said that the file had to be in DXT1.......but its already in DXT1
2) im trying to make a 'runway' with beacon lights on death island, but i cant seem to get the line of lights strait....is there anything that can help make them strait
3) in SparkEdit, under the models tab, there are a bunch of scenery and vehicles and ammo that arent in the map.....is there a way u can get those in the map[/img]
