3.how can i make it so that the zanzi screenpad blows up 10 seconds after opening the gate well at least there is an explosion that kills people

Hex edit it with hex workshop, just search for the string "to open gate" that should find it, then just over write it with what ever you want. For the blw up thing, you could try to attach a explsion to it or script it.

finally an answer(not a very good answer)but an answer none the less
so what about the bitmap any help there?

Just a side not here but for the hex edit, you can only use the ammount of charectors that were originaly there.

I.E Needler can be changed to anything with 7 charectors.
SMG CANNOT be changed to CoolGun because CoolGun is more charectors than the origonal string.

For names that are less than the original ammount of charectors I.E Change Needler to PI just add the appropriete ammount of blank spaces to the end to make it the correct ammoudn of charectors.

I.E Change Needler to IP------
