[Halo 2] Creating New Emblems

Post by Tural »

What you will need:
Ch2r, by XIU (Link)
Photoshop, by Adobe (Link)
Possibly the BitmControl.dll I attached, if Ch2r scrambles the image
Possibly the DDS Plugin I attached, if Photoshop can't open the image
If niether of the above work, get the full Ch2r I included.

Tutorial:

There's probably a better way to do this now. I'm sure someone who's up-to-date on current modding could point you to a better tutorial.

Ok, I made a mini tut for someone in the past... *looks*

Edit: Yea, this one I wrote here works and all but was done before I got Ch2r would work on my PC so some methods are a bit longer/complicated.

It is impossible for the game to send the raw data of your custom bitmap over a multiplayer connection. The same is true for skins, models, sounds, whatever. The game simply wasn't programmed to send raw data over a multiplayer connection. It was developed with the expectation that the content on both game discs would be identical.
