bitm[0].raw? i thought said it dds i have to go under all files to find the bitm.raw. i dont kno what im doin wrong

All you do is open up the map in HMT. Then, go to your bitmap. Click Save Texture and pick somewhere to save it. It will save it as a .dds file. Now open that texture with something like photoshop or convert it using above mentioned program. Edit it how you want. Convert it backk to a .dds file if you converted it to a .bmp file(or another format). Inject it over the original texture in HMT.
