How can you make it so blood gulch snows? I Injected Textures adn I get like PURE white walls, and the grass shows up as green sill even though I injected the Snow texture in it. Is there a tutorial on how to do this???

Well, I took the cliff texture from icefield and made it 256x512 because it was 512x1024. I then selected white as my primary color in Photoshop. I used autocolor (Shift+Ctrl+B) and it added white highlights like snow. I ajusted the lightness in hugh/contrast to make it even more white. I took the grass texture and put white speckels on it with a custom brush in PS. I also edited the blood ground1.dds testure to change the groung to white instead of green, because if that isn't done then the ground will still be green.

everytime i try messing with that texture and i reinject it, it has to change the size. Then it says it needs to be dxt 1 or 2 which it is!

I think it's 3

You have to look at the original texture to see what kind of dds it is, then save it as that.

its DXT1 with 1 bit alpha

No, different textures have different dxt thingeys. I have found that through trial and error. HMT3 will tell you it has to be dxt1 with 1bit alpha, but thats a huge whopping load of BS!

Some of them have to have that done to them with DXT1 !bit Alpha, but others like "blood ground1" have to be DXT2/DXT3.

You can't make it snow in Halo? Well it does snow in Halo. 2 Betrayals, when you get outside. Can you not save the weather meta and inject it into Gulch?

im not sure, idk if its supported in hmt ver 3's map rebuilding

Fluffybunny · Post by **Fluffybunny** » Sun Dec 21, 2003 5:39 pm

no, the snow is in it's own group that BG dosn't have. It's in the rain group. BG dosn't have a rain group, therefor it's impossible to import the snow.

AHAHHAHA It has to be DXT3, it worked fine for me. DXT1 doesnt work.

How can I make it so I can give it to my friends and I turn it into a PFF patch?
