how do i make it night time?, besides swapping the sky bitmap

Well, without switching that you could make the fog a lot denser and make that black.
Other than that, you're stuck with editing bitmaps.

same question...but with the fog, would you be able to snip people?

All i can tell u is PMI the dark sky 1 from truth and recon...then make dense and well blackish fog and edit bitmaps (this is must lol)

all you have to do is PMI a night sky from another map. thats it. and of course change the reference in HHT or HMT.

Great I hope i find away across this Vista = no PMI thing

ive figured out, if you have like paint shop pro or photoshop you can take main textures, aka ground, grass, cliffs, and building crap and darken them up a bit, reinject them, and it looks as good as any dark map, minus the sky thingy, I'm still working on it....

you can rebuild in vista....

and you cant just pmi a sky and expect it to be dark, yea sure the sky will be hard, but everything on the ground will still be las if it were light out.

you need to edit the levels\test\mapname\mapname bitmaps

HOW??? how do you get past the C:\buildtree.txt exception?

never got it

Its ok i found out my self...you just have to right click HMT and click run as administator...for security reasons vista doesnt allow small programs to access the C:\ folder...so if you click run as administrator it allows the program to access the C:\ folder.

or you could make it so your username has admin acess on the computer. also to get the ground all nightimish you could always convert a CE scenerio. but that would require rebuilding...

no for security reasons...Vista wont allow any account to be an administrator...this means no programs can access the C:\ folder...this sounds stupid but there are viruses that go directly to the C:\ folder and wipe out the whole system files...this actually helps...and so only you can run the program in administrator.... basicly this saves you a couple thousand if your doing something retarded and get a virus .

lightmaps....lightmaps lightmaps lightmaps.......go in hmt and open up the bitmaps, go down to level\test\blooduglch\bloodgulch. Save all of the bitmaps in that. Open them all up in photoshop and mess around with the hue/saturation for color or go to image adustments then brightness contrast and mess with those. It would probably help to make them all the same so you dont end up with weird stuff. Save then reinject into HMT. have fun

i need to figure out how to change the sky? any ideas?

PMI it

i cant just make my own bitmap? or put my own sky in?
