Don't even bother. You need custom utilities. Its a VERY long process.

Just wait until 3.5....it comes with a tut.

I stumbled upon this while editing skins yesterday. I made a Readme so other people can apply this mod. No dds files are needed since the bitmap is already in the game-

-- Fossil Hog Readme --

The following are steps to converting the Warthog to the Fossil Warthog via Bitmap (.DDS) injection using HMT (preferably v. 3.5).

Step 1 -- Open HMT* and scroll + expand (click on the + symbol next to "[bitm]bitmaps") the bitmaps tab.

Step 2 -- Locate the file named "levels\test\bloodgulch\bitmaps\blood ground".

Step 3 -- At the top of HMT in the "Tag Information" box, there should be a set of six (6) numbers. Highlight the set of numbers, right click, and select "copy".

Step 4 -- Locate the file name "vehicles\warthog\bitmaps\antenna". Then locate the file "vehicles\warthog\bitmaps\warthog tires multipurpose". The bitmaps between both of these files (there should be 14 in all not including the one's already mentioned) are all Warthog bitmaps. Now replace all of these bitmaps (including the first and last one's I just mentioned) with the one you copied("levels\test\bloodgulch\bitmaps\blood ground"). To do this, go to the set
of numbers on the top of HMT (there should be six in all) and highlight them. Then right click and select "paste". Do this to all of the warthog bitmaps clicking the "Save" button after each one you replace.

Step 5 -- To confirm that the mod works play the game and check it.

Questions or comments can be sent to Hitman Halo 47@aol.com. I would be glad to help any new modders.

looks like the ground of BG

yea, i swapped the ground bitmap with all of the warthog bitmaps. It looks like the model fossilized because there are a whole bunch of wholes in places like the driver seat and under the gunner.
