Thanks, just obey the rules please

. Read the rules before posting on halomods. It's all they ask. Anyway I can help you out.
To do the bitmap or whatever, go into the command prompt and navigate to the Halo CE root directory in it.

1. Type in the command prompt: "tool.exe bitmaps data\levels\[mapname]\bitmaps" and hit enter, and if you followed Kirk's tutorial exactly then it should give you a warning about your bitmap.
2. Go into Guerilla and open up your new bitmap by going into your tags directory and go into levels, then [mapname], bitmaps, and open "[mapname]_ground.bitmap".
3. Now go to where it has the scroll-down box(it should say "64 bit color key" I think) and choose "explicit alpha" from the list.
4. Save as "[mapname]_ground.bitmap".
5. Now go back into the command prompt and hit the arrow up key, to bring up your last command, and hit enter. Now instead of saying the "##WARNING" thing(don't know what it is), it should say "compressed with explicit alpha" and there should be no warning.

If you need anymore help with making a map ask me and I'll try to help.
