what do you mean?

Okay. Pretend your map name is 'hippies' and your bitmap name is 'hippies_ground'. To get the bitmap you would type:

tool bitmaps levels\hippies\bitmaps

if that didn't help in any way, i could send you my mini vid on how to do all that tool crap

Lol!

Look, the bitmap gets made in the "tags" folder, not the "data" folder! You're looking in the wrong place!
