sweet - i'm gonna try to put my logo on a warthog. I hope this works, because then I just need to find out how to change the 3d meshes in the game to get a full mod going.

[berky93]

ok well it worked - although I'm disappointed to find that all of the textures are mirrored (EG: instead of having the whole hood in the texture, it has half of the hood and the game just mirrors it on the mesh) that means you cant put asymmetrical items on the front... darn!

I like the metallica worthog

[cowscankill]

WOW. Nice skins! You can shange bullets and stuff too? Like a sniper path turns to a yellow plasma grenade trail? IDK, just some ideas :P

you should go back and take screen shots for all the steps, I used to do this for H2 though, and it works. Good job!
