Yeah so I'm pretty much BRAND NEW at this whole HALO modding scene and I have to say that it looks very intimidating. The only game/engine I have spent a great deal of time on is Half-Life. This game/engine was very easy for me to learn and I am currently working on my own mod. I would like to try and learn the HALO engine as well but all of this deep-coded content is confusing to work with. My main goal is to reskin some of HALO's vehicles with some custom designs and such and then run them in HALO CE. If anyone could direct me to some tutorials on this subject that would be excellent. It would be greatly appreciated.
This is the software I have installed:
HALO
HALO CE
HALO Editing Kit
GMAX 1.2

Issues So Far
I have downloaded the Halo Mapping Tools 3.5 and the DDS Converter for skinning. Here is the problem: Either the Halo Mapping Tools are not saving the dds files correctly or DDS Converter is messed up. When I go to open the dds in the converter it just quits! Is HMT saving the file wrong or something? I have no idea why it wont open the dds. I have used the app b4 and nothing has not worked. The other thing is that I cannot open maps from HALO CE. When I try to open them i get an error like "Invalid HALO map file" or something like that. I can open the maps from HALO PC though but why cant I open the maps in CE? If someone could help me out that would be great.
