Yes. The skins you want? There is a skins section in the HaloPC downloads... but there's only one skin. The hex editor I use is in my sig. I'm glad you think my tutorial is good, and you can make skins yourself with Photoshop/PSP(Paint Shop Pro), but I think Photoshop is best. You need the DDS plugin... argh, if only I could remember where I downloaded it. You best search for it. Anyway, once you have that plugin on, you can save textures from the map in DXT1 with HaloMappingTools. The filename will really be DDS, though, so just open that up with Photoshop and edit away. After you're done, just import the DDS into the map file.
