Could someone tell me, without using the letters 'C' and 'E', how to make new bitmap slots (if possible).

well ce (see)

this needs rebuilding...

so find the type of bitmap you want to make a new slot for (dxt1 512x512 for example) and extract that to a folder...

now go into the xml and change the topmost filename to newbitmap1

do that for all the new bitmaps you need

Hmmm... We will ce

does it ceem to be working

well see...say your making a remake of a bitmap and the pistol would work.

so lets say the pistol is a Dxt 2 at a pixel size of 512x512.

so you extract the pistol (non recusively) somewhere.

open the xml

edit the first <filename> you see to weapons\bitmnew1

click save and close.

now copy the meta and xml to the build->weapons folder

now rebuild your map being sure to add the new bitm

you just made another bitmap slot!!!

do you ce how to get it or does it ceem like i need to teach you some CE?

if u meant me, im dropping modding soon... school starts...
so, i just wanted to know a cool peice of info...

well...no, i was talking to philly...school has started and i still visit this site..although i havnt been modding for like a month...

school started? which place are u in?

Try to stay on topic please. And I remember some talk about adding a new bitmap slot on halopc.net. There might have been a tutorial.

I told you how to add the bitmap slot... -_-

While it creates a new bitmap slot, unfortunately it will have to point to an existing bitmap in the bitmaps.map file. What would be interesting would be adding entirely new bitmaps to the bitmaps.map file. Thoughts?

which you can overwrite with your own bitmap

Well, I worked out how to do it.

There is a tutorial here.
If you combine that with andew_b's method, you can duplicate bitmaps without CE. It also works with sound.
