Strange, never heard of it. Put your map up for download here and we can take a look at it. Then we'll be able to see if it's a problem with your map, or a problem with Ghost's script and/or Max.

Just looked at it, you need to learn basic mapping. Have a look at some (video) tutorials here:

First of all, go get the official .ass exporter from bungie or many other places. ghost's script is for max v9 cuz the official don't work on 9.
and 2nd. woah. looks like a kid's lego land there. thats not how you make a map. i'm sure you have ambition but like Vicky said. Tuts Tuts Tuts i went through like 10 and i'm still a noob.
I recommend armoman's basic and more advanced tuts first if you don't mind hearing "umm" about 1000 times. -no offence, i'm sorry- no but they are helpful. after those i'd look for some actual 3ds max tuts. its a very complex program and you or i couldn't use it to its full potential for quite a while. than halo shader type ones like bitmap, bump map, water, fog, glass, ect... and after that one of my favorites, http://www.madworkzstudio.com/tut/tut.html
sorry for babbling on but i had no help when i started.

UAC is on.

UAC = User Account Control

You need to turn it off, otherwise it messes with H2V and 3DS Max.

Control Panel, User Accounts, Turn User Account Control on or off.

Click off.

Then youll be able to export/tag make correctly.

May i mention that a error will come up (not a bad one, just like when your computer restarts) telling you UAC is off. Red box, White X. Ignore it.

If you tried to export the map you had above it won't work. guaronteed.
do some tutorials. well maybe if you connected the b_levelroot right and put a box around your map, fliped it, connected it, and, well i doubt it.
and, did you get the ass exporter from the halo 2 vista website?

And converted half of the objects to an editable mesh, watch some tutorials step by step!

[johnnyblaz20]

Yeah i could have kept going for hours. i dont think i could begin to explain even whats wrong with that map. not trying to be mean but. yeah. good luck dude.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

meh... so its fail? aww i wanted to make a basic paintball map 0.0...

[Vicky]

Well you might get it to work but seriously, start a new map and follow a videotutorial and do exactly what is done in the tutorial. Then you will learn the basics and by the time you can make a map on your own (just make maps, maps and even more maps) you should be able to find out what's wrong with this map.
