Thanks,

it may help if you post a link to the actual ODST file you downloaded as well as a screenshot of what you see on your computer when you try to open it.

umm...nevermind it didnt work the first 2 times, but i guess third times the charm.

just a heads up you'll probably get ripped on for asking questions that have been asked 100 times before. read the forum search around some and if you don't see an answer to your question then ask.
But i'm new here so what do i know

anywho just a quick youtube search yeilds lots of results.

i really think that this dude's videos are amazingly helpful and he's on this forum so check him out and i'm sure he'll be able to answer any questions if you shoot him a PM on the forum or on youtube (he's answered some of mine)

found this on the first page without doing a search seems like it might just be able to answer all your questions... http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/18620-How-To-Scale-Your-Armour-Tutorial
