Um link?

NEED A LINK AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have photoshop but its on my other comp- 2 lazy 2 boot up

I checked it out and it seems to work good. I already have photoshop, but for all of you out there that don't; this is your chance to start skinning.

i would hate to give up photoshop, i love it!

hmm... that link doesn't seem to work.

I got it to work but you have to "save link as..."

Im confused. i opend a dds file and clicked Save As Alpha Channel but nothing happened.

Just as an FYI you didn't need that semi-colon before the word "this"...

Your link didn't seem to work.... o well, i think i saw it on the downloads.

i downloaded it fine but when i click 'save as alpha channel' it creates a bmp with practicly nothing in it!

lol true. i know how to click

i need some help, i would love to make skins but dont have photoshop, it wont install on my computer, can someone help me wid this?

try avoiding useing alpha channels. i avoid em when using photoshop and i get fine results in my game...with skinning...

Have you actually downloaded this?, cause thats all you can click apart from save which just saves it as a dds, i dont know whats wrong, i wish i had photoshop.

I have the same problem

1 long boring way to edit scins is open hmt3 click the skin make it full size click

Print
Screen
SysRq

creat a new bit map hit paste cut out the part of the screen shot that is the scin edit and convert.

And alpha is usless because halo skins are dds 1 so the don't even have an alpha

thanx

I have seen ALOT of great work out there. I'm enjoying applying .ppf to maps. However, sometimes it's tough to determine for what level a .ppf is intended. I see a real benefit in having a suggested naming convention for .ppf files intended for Halo map modification.
Please suggest and refine (or correct me if this has already been suggested).
How 'bout:

Platform_region_map_short-description.ppf

An example would be:

xbox_ntsc_BG_200 trees.ppf
This would indicate a .ppf intended for the NTSC version of the xbox map 'Blood Gulch'.
If a .ppf applies to all maps, we might use and XX to indicate this.
e.g.: pc_pal_XX_all vehicles.ppf

Maybe we should also include the game, for the purpose of using this convention for other software:

HaloPC_NTSC_XX_all grunts flatulent.ppf
(Halo PC NTSC ppf for all maps....)

or

HaloXB_PAL_BP_make Master Chief a capricorn.ppf
(An Xbox Halo .ppf for PAL equipment for level 'Boarding Party' .... )

or HaloX_XX_XX_Carl Sagan as Master Chief.ppf
(For both HaloPC and HaloXbox, both PAL and NTSC, every level).

Thoughts? Does this leave any important info. out? Should I have used another forum for this (oops).
