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.

hey i think i figured out what it was i forgot to internalise but also at first i was using the program dxtbmp to open the dds in cs2 but now i tried out the nvidia plugin and the bmps are always strectched out making large black areas down the side of my hog im just gonna try doing it with dxtbmp again then ill repost thanks for your help dude

ok ive finally fixed my maps looked liek they wanted a cache but i figured th out after i deleted it anyway wen i put my hog skins in they still have the greyish brown colour behind them even after knockign the section of the alpha channel into white i suspect its the bumps but i cannot edit them i have tried many times

Try better grammar?

Take your backed up Shared.map and replace the one on your HD.

think you misunderstood the skins are on but the original hog colour is still visible blended in with the skin?? and how do you edit bumps?

your problem is the alpha layer in the .dds file. delete it in photoshop or GIMP.

ok ill try tht give me 5 mins

the only way i can delet the alpha is to use the nvidia plugin but that stretches my images on cothalo so i usually use DXTbmp where i can edit the alpha but not delete :S ideas?

well, try entity to inject your skins.
