They need to have the same bitmaps.map as you do, otherwise they just see the same skin. Send them the .dds and tell them to inject it into Bitmaps in HMT. That way you don't have to send them the entire 300MB (or something like that) bitmaps.map.

can't you just make a ppf out of the edited bitmaps.map?

wouldn't that be smaller than the .dds texture and not force the installers to get hmt?

You could also do that, but I would just give them the .dds. It is easier to apply. If you want to do the .ppf way, click here:

Yeah, the bitmaps are saved in bitmaps.map, not the actual level. So no, you can't make a .ppf of the original map.

yes, just make sure you have a backup bitmaps.map

Easiest way would be to just send them the DDS file.
