I could only get the sky to go from red to grey because it was X8R8G8B8

This is my first skin so I would appreciate advice

Pretty nice. Maybe a Halo 3 MC skin and it would be perfect! Or maybe even a bloom/blur script? mb mb?

100000000000/10 for the custom bump maps and all new bitmaps! Looks great man!

looking good man only thing i saw was in the second pic where your cliff texture meets the grass there is a slim black line the rest is pimp i hate that cliff part though every time i skinned it it always messed up

I was going to put in a cleaned up version of masterchiefs bitmap, but I always have problems skinning internalized bitmaps. Ex: they turn black or refer to the external bitmap when you back away from it.

Use the machinima tool and remove all LOD's, that will fix that problem. But, I see no custom bumps? Looks pretty nice though. Good flow through out the map.

No, bad foxfanatic.

You just have to save the .dds in photoshop with the "generate mipmaps" tick box checked.

The ground has custom bumps....

mine always has generate mipmaps checked and I still have to use the michinima tool....

The skin is nice but its been done and the sky might as well be changed to the coagulation sky. for a first skin I'd give it an 8

wow, I was so caught up with the bitmaps I forgot all about just building a sky into a map and using that.

That's because you're probably using an improper .DDS plugin.

g----13 · Post by **g----13** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 1:11 am

I use v8.23 dds plugin, I cant find any newer versions, so I'm clueless, what are you using?

G.I.R. · Post by **G.I.R.** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 1:45 am

This one.

CptnNsan0 · Post by **CptnNsan0** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 4:52 am

well thats the one I have but it still doesn't seem to work. no problem though. using the machinima tool isn't that hard anyways.

The machinima tool will make the game laggy in multiplayer firefights and I wouldn't be surprised if it crashed in splitscreen mode.

Hmm, looks to me like you could use a bit off trees and foliage. But it still looks good I guess.

CptnNsan0 · Post by **CptnNsan0** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:54 pm

Im not seeing the custom bumps anywhere

not bad but at the same time, it's boring and plain.
