2 Questions about Skinning

This may or may not be in the right forum, please move it if it is in the wrong forum. My first question is, how can I apply a warthog skin (.dds format) to a warthog in Halo CE? HMT won't let me open the .map files for CE and I haven't found a way to simply inject the textures in HEK like in HMT. I'm still learning the ropes of HEK and it would be much appreciated if someone could give me some info on applying a .dds warthog skin to a 'hog in Halo CE. My other question is, how do I create the civvie hog for HPC? I know you have to apply something to the chain gun, but I want to keep the chaingun 'hog. I want to know how to take the rocket launcher off of the Rocket Hog. I've looked at the various topics around here and everyone seemed to be having trouble with it. It would be great if someone could fill me in on this too. Thanks a lot.

You could convert a haloce map to halo and it sometimes be opened in hmt.But the correct way is to open the .dds in Phooshop export as tif comiplke.Open up the warthog.shader in guerilla and redirect the bitmaps to your new one.

Thank you Patrick, but I need to get the Photoshop from my Web Design class when school starts, as my Photoshop from last year is on my old computer. However I would still like to know how to create a civilian 'hog out of the Rocket 'Hog. Thanks again.

Your welcome.Well on http://www.levels4you.com there is a tool which lets you convert .dds to jpeg so you can edit in paint.And then you somehow got to save it as tif.The easiest way is Photoshop though.Get the trial version.I can also give you the .dds plugins

Just download it over the night, but it shouldn't take that long. Just tough it out. By the way, I still want to know how to make a civilian 'hog in Halo PC. I don't care which 'hog anymore. I heard these guys talking about applying "cryoglass" to the chaingun, but I have no idea what the crap that is. I also heard some guy say tunr the turret visibility to off, but I don't know how to do that either. So I would really appreciate some help on this.

Thanks raven. I should be getting Photoshop in a week or two. Raven, would you happen to know how to turn either turret of the warthog in HPC invisible? If you do, would you mind posting it here or PMing it to me? Thanks.
