Hello there again, I actually have gimp as well, what is it your trying to do?

First, i would suggest downloading DXTBMP, it allows you to open your .dds files, send them to gimp, and bring them back and save as .dds files again.

What skin do you want to make?

Ok, well, when you open the file you can see various parts of the vehicles or weapons. If you have a good knowledge of what the vehicle or weapon looks like this will be much easier. All you really have to do is just take the tools like the paintbrush, fill tool, etc. etc. and change the image around to be how you want it. Im not really too great of a skinner, But I'll try to help you if you have any problems.

There are textures inside gimp that you can use with the fill tool, i dont remember how to get to them though. And lighting you just have to draw on.

Snowy or snowing

Snowy you have to skin the grass walls and dirt whiteish and make it look like snow.

Snowing you have to PMI snow from another level.

ok. hey which bitmap do i use on the assault rifle?

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 7:26 pm

Extract the weapons/assaultrifle/assaultrifle/fp bitmap.

If its not that it's something like that, scroll down to the weapons under the bitmap tag in HMT, and it should be one of the first ones in there, when you click it it'll look like the AR.
