how do you skin a warthog and do you have to do a new or diferent skin on the inside than out side
-Start by opening up DotHalo and open the map you want to modify (shared.map will change it for all maps).
-Then go to the bitm tab and look for "objects\vehicles\warthog\bitmaps\warthog_standard" A window should popup with the bitmap you want to edit.
-Click Extract Bitmap at the bottom of the pic.
-Now open the extracted bitmap in Photoshop or GIMP (you'll need this nVidia plugin to edit the DDS image).
-Edit the image how you want and save it as a DXT2/3 format dds.
-Then back in DotHalo click Inject Bitmap and find your new image and inject it.
-Close DotHalo and open your map in Entity (or something that'll sign the map) then Sign the map and you're done.
I recommend you play around with both DotHalo and Entity to get your modding done.
