Here: http://happyfragged.proboards70.com/index.cgi#nua  is Octane´s site you can find very cool skins 

and you must be registered to be available to see the dowload section

To get hog skins, Google around until you find one you like (or use Octane's site as posted above while I was typing!). Then use this program to apply them.

1) Open one of your Halo Maps in Halo Mapping Tools (that program I linked). Doesn't matter which one, they all apply the same. I picked Blood Gulch, personally.
2) Under "Bitmaps", go to "vehicles\warthog\bitmaps\warthog" (for rockethogs, it's "vehicles\rwarthog\bitmaps\rwarthog"), and save a copy of the current texture somewhere, like C:\Program Files\Halo\texturebackups\warthog.dds
3) Import the new one, and point it to the skin you want to use (take it out of any archive files first! [ZIP, RAR, BZ2 {I wish they were BZ2 compressed!}])
4) Save, and test by opening Halo and creating a server with default settings.

If you make a backup of the map file you're working in at the time you have nothing to worry about. If something goes wrong simply move the backup file into your maps folder.

For example if I changed my chain gun hog skin on bloodgulch.map and something messed up, I would move my bloodgulch.map backup file into my halo maps folder and be fine.

BUT, if you have no clue what you're doing, it's probably a good idea not to mess with it.

Here's the thing though, when you're using HMT when you change it on one map it changes it for all the maps, so it would be a good idea to backup ALL the map files, because otherwise they will all be corrupted from whatever mistake you make.

Look at this only started using it a week ago and I'm making myself sound like an expert.

:. :: :. Widget you are kind of an expert as you helped me with mine but it will never work for me as you well know. Ah thats what i wanted to ask you widget on xfire is to send me instead your maps individually or just try the bloodgulch.map

That was the main issue though, because I'm not exactly sure if just sending you the BG map file will transpose all of the skins to the other map files with it, so I decided against that. And as you know copying the map folder was too big so we ditched that plan too

That's why you backup the textures.

"send me instead your maps individually"

:. :: :. yes it was to large for your laptop haha but erm...this way would work depending if you have the time
