Warthog Metal Texture

Daemon · Post by **Daemon** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:01 pm

I havent posted here in ages coz my computer broke down and i just got a new one

...

Anyway Im not sure if this has been talked about or if its common knowledge or whatever, but you know that texture on the warthog metal? like that grainy look that doesnt seem to be on the warthog.dds bitmap... well ive made a few skins and ive tried to make the texture smooth and more car like... but it doesnt work because this stuff keeps showing up!!! and yes i have made a multipurpose but it still shows up

So i what i want to know is... What is it? Where is it? Can it be edited?
BEcause i havent been able to find it in HMT.

heres a bit of a warthog with some of it on it so you know what im going on about...

You see it? that grainy stuff

Now heres a bit of a skin bitmap that i done... and a bit of the multipurpose.... Do you see any grainy stuff?

Now here is a section of the skin In-Game.... it shows up again...

sorry if this question has been asked or if its a stupid question but i havent been able to find it anywhere....

Does anyone know how to change it?

EDIT: i looked for a bit and i found a rocket warthog metal deatial and i edited it and the rocket hog came out smooth but not all of it did...

its not on the warthog. its on the masterchief. corroded metal light is what your looking for. in the cyborg section of the bitmaps.

if you get rid of it on the hog it will dissapper off the chief as well.

to make this texture disapper the correct way open it in PS. turn the whole picture solid black. then open the alpha channel and do the same. save and re-inject.

you end up with a clean silky smooth hog as seen below..

Hopefully some skins soon, but when i blacked that texture out... in the main halo screen the back of the halo ring was completely blackas well... but it did get rid of all of the stuff on the warthog, and the cheif looked wierd, so i reckon i would try and make masterchief look a bit better if i was gunna do one like that.

thanks

Yeah yours works fine, did you just lower the contrast completely so it came out all grey? because in the HMT preview yours is grey. But anyway do you mind if i use this in a skin? obviosly il give you full credit for it.

Ok, pepsi, when people ask for help, they aren't asking for you to show off.

how exactally am i showing off? i think if i wanted to be some cocky ahole id be adding a ton more pics to the new WIP thread. btw, what am i showing off? _FC_Homies hog skin? the skin isnt mine. so i guess you can fault me for showing how awesome i think another modders skin is then right?

before you try to pounce me make sure your facts are correct and that you actually have talked to me outside these forums. why dont you go study some more on your math test so you dont loose you laptop again instead of provoking arguments with me.

and no, im not flaming you. you posted your top was taken away in public, it was merely a reply to that itself.

good day sir.

philly.. i know. i answered that at like 4am half awake. i tried to make ammends by offering him mine =/

Well, you helped 'em, and I respect that

but you honestly don't have to add the "like in my Redux" to it.

I respect the fact you helped, but you don't have to show them that you've done it on your mod and what it looks like

well, if he asks why doesnt it look like your pic then he would know cause redux has different shaders a cubes... duahh.
