did you internalie the bitmaps?

[grimdoomer]

what are you talking about

bitmaps rely on the main and shared maps. so to get your skins ingame you have to internalize the bitmaps. meaning you have to make the bitmaps you skin rely on itself. i dont know how to further detail it but you can use this program.

well if you look where you injected the skin, it says Dxt 2/3 for the warthog, and then also it has either internal or external. External means that the bitm is not inside the map, it is in the mainmenu, or shared.map. You either can overwrite your old main menu or shared.map, or you can internalize the bitm with http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=58648

it is pretty straight foreward to use, just click the boxes with the three periods in them, and then find what it asks for. one you have found them all go to file open map and then find the bitm you want to be internalized and then double click it.
