ok, I'm not winging it, I've looked at several tutorials, each several times, and I've come to the conclusion that I messed up modeling one of the bunkers on the map, but its fixed now. and thanks teh kid for the building tut.
E: any tutorials on making textures and uv mapping? I don't like sticking with simple repeated textures.
E: also can I get pointed out to a good cov carbine tag; I can't find any on halomaps.org.
man my post took a drop back and my issues with shit doesn't.
I tried to purge all the zteam effects that have been fucking with me by riping an original map that came with the game, and turining the overite thing on in my settings, but now I can't open any thing in sapien any more I get this in my debug

don't worry about the sound card issues, I always get that, and it hasn't caused any problems before. andI can't find the stencils its talking about.
help would be very much appreciated. I know you guys perfer to flame me instead, but I put up with it becuase this is the only place where people have the slightest clue of what they're talking about.
its the last error thats messing you up "02.28.10 00:39:43 EXCEPTION halt in \halopc\haloce\source\tag_files\tag_groups.c,#3157 : #-1 is not a valid object_function_block index in [#0,#4)"
get a new scorpion folder and your problem will be solved
how the hell could you tell what it was? thanks. now any one got any tips on modeling weapons in gmax, the tutorial I found that delt with modeling it said to use a profile image of the gun being modeled, but I don't have that luxury, and I'd rather box model than use planes. also is it possible to create bipeds solely using gmax? and I don't know how to skin, or do practically any thing with textures besides repeating the same one over and over again. and how do you make leaves for trees? I exported a model of a tree to see how they make it, but the leaves seem a little complicated.
That error is old as dirt manQuote:

I'm a noob leave me alone. also can I get any tutorials on making devices? I want to make a really big door, like the one on high ground.
I went on hce.halomaps.org, searched "device tutorial" and it was the first item in the list. It took at the most 10 seconds to do.Quote:

Please search before you ask, because most of the time a tutorial/solution has been already made to help you do something.
I serched for a device tutorial and got 3 pages of weapon tutorials, then 2 pages of stupid maps and vehicle tutorials. can I get any tips for making complex textures for vehicles, and weapons? I'm kinda only in the basics for texturing and uving. thanks for the help so far though.

by the way, whats wrong with the scorpion folder that gives that error? also I'm making trees and don't know how to go about making the leaves, I exported a model but was lost by how they did the leaves. and is it possible to make a biped using only gmax, or do I need some other program that hopefully is free?
