Hey everyone!
After figuring out lighting I have moved on to the next step as I often do. I am trying to modify in Mult. Player maps by giving them a new look. I

Here is an example.

After I added the Snow Bitmaps this is how it looks in SparkEdit 3.1

This is the 2 mins later when I went ingame.

Can Anyone help? Its been done and it's done a lot? How do you edit ground textures, save them, and then put them BACK into the game?

(snow texture for the ground never ever showed up which is another thing.)

Thanks

well one thing you could do is with hmt go threw the bitmaps in sidewinder for the ground (im sure it will be like snow) and then save that texture open the map you want to change the ground into snow and inject the snow texture and that should work.

I did that with Assult on the control room with no luck. the textures you see there are from assult on the control room.

ok so i tried using the ground map from sidewinder hoping that it would be like snow because the texture in hmt looked like snow so i imported it into blood gulch but for so reason it then makes the ground red. so i guess that you are just gonna have to edit the bitmaps of the grass and the sand in bloodgulch in order to get snow. I'm at school right now but when i get home im gonna see what i can do with it.

There's a ground bitmap in the map file directory

just look under the bitm tag in hmt

I know that but what i did was i took the bitmap of the ground from sidewinder saved it opened bloodgulch went to the grass bitmap and injected the sidewinder one. but when i play bloodgulch for some reason the ground is all red. So i gotta just play with some stuff abit and look a bit more at the bitmaps and i should be able to get it to work cause i've seen it done before.
