Internalize the bitmap if needed, like for the vehicles and weapons.

I have the same problem. What exactly is internalizing? And how do you do it?
Yes, I'll just say in advance that I am a nooby noober.

internalizing is simply the process of altering the default skin so the the new skin (your creation!) can be injected, sucessfully, within your map...

the package i use is the all in one which, amongst other programs, includes a Halo2 Bitmap Internalizer...

you can prolly download this program off some other 3rd party site, however, i have no such link...

but if you do mannage to install it, it'll simply ask you to open up your map of choice...it will then cunjure a list of all the bitmaps accociated with that peticular map...select the bitmap you wish to change. There should be a drop-down box...selet "1" as the reflexive number. Below that you have the choice of the "proper" or "non-proper method"...choose "non proper" and click "internalize bitmap"!



when you return to dothalo, your raw data window under the bitmap tag should now say "internal"



...you are now free to inject your new skin!!!
