Have you created your own bump maps? Bump maps are what makes it stick out like that. So if you injected a bump map, then the referenced bitmap should have some depth already.

yes i have created my own bump maps but they dont stick out as much, it was just the lighting effects from nades and projectiles that make it stick out a little bit.

I only made 3 skinning comps before I kinda stopped modding Halo 2...But that doesn't mean I should stop the whole comp because I'm not fuly doing it (although Id make a skin for this)
So I was wondering, any demand for another skin comp? Of course, you don't have to (just like the modding comp going down the drain)


Just curious..If yes, it could start in a fortnight or something :P

I'm down for another one scotty. Although, i'd like it to be maybe 2 or 3 weeks long. I'm impatient and wouldn't like to wait too long to see the results. But yes, ultimately it would be enjoyable to see another skinning competition get started.

Also, if there still is enough demand I'd most likely be inclined to either make it a post your vote for the winner, or just me as a judge...Only because the last 3 times have been brought down by judge delays.

Even though its only two of you so far, I'm happy that there are people who still want to :)
I'd probably make it 3 weeks...2 Might be too short for some people...but I can understand the month wait+the judge time of the previous ones.

That's fine then. Make it right around 3 weeks. Voting would suffice for a skin to win. Go ahead and pick the map. I'd leave it open to all sorts of themes. It's always funner that way.

Well Scotty. My xbox is fixed and that being said, it motivates me to start researching and all again. So I will enter this one. ;P

But my xbox was broke. FTP wouldnt work, no matter what I did... My DVD drive wouldnt open(Thanks MrBalll for that fix), and my debug FTP wouldnt work either.

Fixed it all. ;P Except the damn controllers, but I guess thats not that big of a deal, I can just move the wire around till it works...

Any other takers? I'd prefer more numbers than just this (sorry). However having this comp between these current higher profile modders/skinners would be fun :P

all my controllers kept dosconnecting i find the best way is to unscrew cut the wire before the plastic seal strip it back and reconnect it to the connections inside the pad tape up with electrictions tape and ther u go a few inches shorter but no controller disconnected.

That could be because you have your maps cached and Halo2 is loading the cache maps instead of your original .maps. What you would need to do is ftp to your xbox using unleashx or evolutionx and find the x,y, and z partitions. Delete the files in those. Reboot. Then start up H2 and load the map. Now they should appear skinned.
