when trying to build a structure on tool I got about 100 messages saying "error on edge #[insert # here] is open (red). I'm assuming thats an error from having faces or polygons overlapping, but I just pulled up the ground and never messed with the creating faces, and so forth, would this have any thing to do with using poly mesh instead of editble mesh? becuse I think this is the first map I used poly mesh with.
Using editible poly and mesh only matters if you use anything other than blitzkreig.
If you use anything else, then convert to mesh before exporting.
You dont have a "sealed world" mesh.
There are either obvious open edges or unobvious ones (where 2 verts are in almost or exactly the same place, but not connected as 1 vert).
To fix the unobvious ones, you should:
-select all verts in map/model
-weld at a very low threshold (start at 0.01)
-re-export and check to see if you fixed any of the errors
-repeat if needed at a higher threshold (depending on how small you made the model and how small some of the faces are) i wouldnt go higher than 0.1.
But thats just an averaged number, you may have to play with it a little.
A good way to do this would be to:
-find the smallest, most intricate part of the model and look close there while you move the threshold value, go as high as it takes to weld the part you are looking at, then decrease the threshold just a little. (because you dont want to weld across faces, just the hidden open edges)
oh well I have gmax and use a jms converter I currently don't know the name of, but its not blitzkrieg.
When in doubt, always use editable mesh.
Have you imported the WRL that tool spits out?
my models won't export, using tool++ I export my model and it says that can't read tool thing it always says, and then says process complete and nothing more. I'm not a scripter, I took a cadd class not a computer programing class, so I don't have any Idea why its being so fickle with me.
Why are you even using Tool++?
I thought we established that it was horrible because it wouldn't let you select shaders, and some other shit as well?
In any case, use tool or os_toolbeta. There would be no reason to use Tool++ because it is buggy. Even it's creator doesn't like it.
Gmax wouldn't let me import it
New problem. I get a very similar response from tool when I tried to add water, the plane was labeled water!$ and so was the bitmap I used.
I tried using normal tool and it did the same thing
all my cov bipeds won't load up onto sapien, when I try to load them, I get an error message.

whats wrong with all my tags and I could't find anything wrong with them in gurrila.
You are trying to rip/use tags from a protected map. Maps are protected for a reason, you should respect that the map creator does not want the tags used without their permission. This kind of behavior is frowned upon on this forum, so please do not post stuff like this again.
How did you rip the tag if it still has <zteam> as the tag name? You need to fix the tag reference.
you didnt ask for permission from Zteam.
I deleted all of the bipeds tags off of my computer and then reloaded HEK so I have the original set, and it still didn't work. then I downloaded the originals from Halomaps.org and they still want to use these zteam tags that I can't find, and don't even know how I got them.
and wil some one please tell my how to get them off of my computer. I aint no programer I'm just a highschool student.
nevermind I gound the bad tag. alot of help you guys have been.
Id rather teach someone how to learn to do things on their own than tell them how to do it. At that level anyways. Getting, and adding tags is one of the easiest parts of making things for Halo CE so if you're getting stuck at a spot like that then you really need to rethink your mod.
I have no idea what you're saying. Take a screenshot. Oh and stop whining please.
STOP! Do not rip
seriously if you need a MP elite that behaves like the SPARTAN i have a non mapping team one, so yeah
I didn't rip them, I have no Idea where the zteam effect came from. I guess another set of biped tags I downloaded off halomaps had them. and I have been looking for an elite tag that has animations similar to a cyborg, not nessicarly the behavor.
just cause you read it like I was whining doesn't mean I was whining. and it came up with something diffrent this time. and how do I put an image from my computer. I'm defenatly not a scripter so stop whining about me being a noob on the net
That's how it came across, he is not the only one coming to that conclusion based on your posting behavior.Quote:

You see to be just jumping into using the HEK with no prior knowledge whatsoever. Have you even read the HEK tutorial contained in the Halo Custom Edition installation folder, because it doesn't seem like you have done anything at all.Quote:

well just replace those animations with something else using an animation editor...

Noob or Pro, we're not going to stop pounding this into you, like my teacher pounds physic formulas into his students' heads, until you remember it.Quote:

E: why doesn't ninja work anymore? :(
EE: It looks like you got your directory wrong. Try typing in a correct directory for the jms file.
I got the sparrow howk from CMTs tag release and it flies kinda wierd, like a helacopter. it sorta makes sense if it didn't have wings. I can't figure out how to change how it flies, from the vehicle tag. do I change it in the physics tag or is it in the gbx model, I would much rather it fly like a banshee or atleast a pelican, instead you have to look down to move fast, and not touch any thing to move. can some one tell me how to change its flight behavoirs?
I've read all the way through the official HEK tutorial, and whent through several tutorials specific for Gmax, many where for scenery which I was trying to make, so I'm not just jumpping in. when using tool to make the gbx model from the gmax model exported into JMS format I get message on tool that is not what I was looking for, it says I got the wrong directory but I typed it 5 diffrent times and checked my spelling, as I was saying I don't know why it still says I have the wrong directory, I'm no computer expert. I really hate command prompt. also I've uploaded images on forums before but this ones different.
I'm not normaly an ass but I'm really getting frustraited, and this is the only place that I can get good answers. btw, I do check my spelling all the time but I make somany mistakes that it doesn't help to much.
copy the debug text and paste it in your next post
The physics tag mostly affects the way the vehicle collides with objects, but to an extent it affects its flight behavior (weight, anti-gravity, etc). I messed with this for a while, but I didn't get very far, I just got it flyable (actually, I got it to fly pretty much exactly like a banshee, since I copied the banshee physics and vehicle tags). It looks like after I gave it back to CMT they tweaked it further.
You'll want to change both the physics tag and the vehicle tag to get it to work the way you want to. (Don't ask me for my tags because I cba to dig up the right versions).
The physics are very finicky. Half the time you'll get something like this for no apparent reason, and you'll just have to keep messing with it:
Tool does not allow spaces. Here's a few examples:
Your directory is for example:
directory A:This is what you would type into tool for directory A:Code:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\Data\Scenery\Test Scenery\Models\testscenery.jms
Which is correct in tool, but you're directory is wrong. it should look like this:Code:tool model scenery\test scenery
directory B:From Data folder onward, don't use spaces, tool won't read them.Code:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\Data\Scenery\Test_Scenery\Models\testscenery.jms
This is what you should type into tool:
Set up your folders in your data like this:Code:tool model scenery\test_scenery
In that folder have the following folders:Code:[type of item in halo, ie. scenery, weapons, vehicles]\[name of your item]
You don't have to stick to this format, but it's nice to have to organize your items.Code:*Models
*Physics
*Bitmaps
*Animations
*FP(if it's a weapon and inside FP, have a Models folder and an Animations folder)
He could type the directory inside quotes.
lol! thats funny. what about the camra, can I get it closer, and tighter to the vehicle?
I typed in tool models scenery\(scenery folder name) (scenery name) and my folders are set up like that
data
scenery
(scenery name)
models
physics
bitmaps
animations
oh look BCE, hows that coming BTW? x3
I allready understand the basics of modeling in gmax but I wan't to get much better, I still have issues attaching caves and stuff to the models of maps, and making models as good looking as some of cmts stuff. some info on adding textures and making them too would be nice. I've found a few tuts on 3ds max but 3dsmax can do alot more than gmax. I've also found a few relly bad tutorials on gmax that either teach the bare basics or go through a thing on how to make a train or something, but don't go into depth about how gmax works. also It needs to be downloadable. the computer I've got internet on can't run gmax.
Ok I got the sparrow hawk flying like I want it but Is there anyway to change the camra, it way to high and drives me nuts.
No idea how to fix the camera. Bug either rooster or scooby about it; I bet one of them knows.
I think the camera is set by a node in the model information isn't it? But I think you still might be able to adjust it in the tags. I dunno for sure.
iirc there's a camera tag that specifies all sorts of behaviors for the camera. I've tried messing with it once before, and I couldn't seem to get it to do anything I wanted, so I haven't touched it since.
Modelling is more or less the same with most programs. Especially gmax and 3ds max. You start with a plane/box and build of it, that all there is too it.
It is like clay, where you can pull arms or legs out of a clay ball, but in this case it is a box/plane.
The barrett tutorial is probably your best bet for getting used to modelling:
http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/23868...video-tutorial
You can't shift/drag edges in Gmax, I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong), so that tutorial won't help.
It really doesn't matter, so long as you understand you need to extrude and are competent enough to do it. There are also official gmax tutorials. You just have to find them
You can shift/drag in gmax. if not it should be easy enough to set the shortcut, especially for editable poly.
I tried and I can't shit drag. and downloadable tuts are very much appriciated.
gahhh I got an error on edge thing in tool for my water! I thought that the game would ingore overlapping edges for water if it was put as "water!" can I get a run through on adding water so I can figure this out?
Well I'd like to stay away from going into the model if I can, I don't want to mess up a texture or something.
Make a plane that covers the whole map and put the material as water!$
thats exactly what I did
Just open up the gbxmodel tag, if you don't mess with the shaders nothing will happen. Just go to the markers and find camera, under instances just mess around with the translation and rotation of the first instance.Quote:

That's what it looks like with translation set to 0,0,0 and the default rotation, if you play around with it you should be able to get it how you want.
Also, would you mind posting the vehicle/physics tag or whatever you modified to change the flight style since it seem like by default the thing seems damn near unflyable, and I (and probably a few other people) don't know much about vehicle physics.
Does your arrows have the move things? Try pressing X once then shift + drag.Quote:

Sparrowhawk is a disaster of a vehicle. None of us could get it working in a half-decent manner. I'll stick its source files in the next CMT tag release so you all can have more to work with, but there's a reason you never saw much of it.
I just changed the first part of the physics tag almost just like the banshee; it still kinda wants to fly like the pelican though, better than a retarded helecopter. I'd like to send an image, but I don't know how to get an image off my computer without first posting it in some wierd location onto the web. I got the hawk working ok, like I said, I just want ot fix the camera angle.
I just opened up the gbx model tag and it won't let me mess with the instances in gurilla
I'm trying to make buildings and structures with several storys, like a three story base, and haven't the slightest Idea on how to build it perferbly with ramps. any tips on building buildings?
you can name the material anything you want as long as you add ! to the end, add $ if there is fog under it. name the plane geometry water!$ (or just water! for no fog). link to frame.
thats what I did. tried it 3 times. maybe forths the charm, 3 never helped me anyway.
make sure your water plane is 1 poly (2 tris) and that all four vertices are outside the bsp. it should perfectly planer also.
Just try stuff out, there are lots of ways to do this but at some point you're going to have to experiment on your own to figure things like this out. Search for tutorials when you hit a dead end. when it's too messed up, delete it and start over. Try making the building in it's own file before adding it to your bsp that way you don't mess up what you've already modeled.
Suggestion: start your own help thread instead of all these single question threads.
I'll start up gmax and make a quick tutorial. It'll be good for me to go back in gmax and see how I'll hold up. I'll introduce several stuff.
best advice i can do is start with a box that has a ramp built into it, get that to work, then build the same box with a second floor, rinse and repeat...good luckQuote:

I never bothered to rip a protected map, I could take anything off of them even if I wanted to, I have absolutly no hacking ability whatsoever, I still haven't figured out where they came from. and besides, why would I want to use tags that only screw up my stuff? so would people for god sakes stop t hitting my rep.

Where did you get the tags?
I have no flipping clue!, maybe I riped an unprotected map of somebody who hacked a zteam map. I don't know where they came from. and can we move on to the problems I'm having? instead of sticking to how I ended up with zteam tags that screwed me over.
Hmm.. Your actually making me laugh at how insecure you are about this and the weird excuse. Lmao.
I DIDN'T RIP ANYTHING FROM ZTEAM!, no can we move on to fixing other probelms, I have shit to get done! and I would very much appreciate it if we could just move on!
I bet the energy sword lunge would work much better as the choppers boost, since you don't need to aim it, you just go.
I like the color green.
Wait. Why is this a thread?
I was expecting others thought and opinoins on this topic of making a choppers boost. wether or not it could work or not, I never looked at the lunge effect or had any experence with the boosts of vehicles. so I only sorta know whats going on.
Or someone could use the EXISTING banshee boost as a chopper boost? Seriously, why does this thread exists? Why don't you work with the basics first and look at other stuff later?
Try it and tell us what happens.
yeah, but the choppers does damage to the thing it hit when it boosts into something, the banshee doesn't do that.
Keep ideas in your help thread. Make threads for ideas that are actually created.

Please do this. Not every thought deserves a thread.Quote:

Figure it out.
Tryed reading the error?
Here's a hint: 'The system cannot find the file specified. '
Edit: Dammit, Inferno. post like 2 seconds later next time please?
well I know for a fact its there. I re exported 3 times and I still get the same thing. the JMS and Gmax model files are both in the models folder in the lakeside folder in the levels folder in the data folder.
If it were in the right place it would work.Quote:

Give all faces a material ID.
You probably didn't assign a material.
oh, I guess I didn't give my water an ID. thanks.
current problems:
sparrow hawk camera angle: gurrilla won't let me change the instances for the camera in the gbx model.
want tips for building complex buildings, with complex intiorios in gmax.
Going to do the voice over tomorrow and render it.. Try Kornman00 for the cameral instances.Quote:

once again I run into an error in tool. still trying to build that scenerio structure
debug
02.14.10 09:32:24 tool pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------
02.14.10 09:32:24 reference function: _write_to_error_file
02.14.10 09:32:24 reference address: 42ca20
02.14.10 09:32:24 Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
also tool said "ERROR couldn't update edge #<insert some number here> (red)"
it was ther about ten times.
That error means you suck at modeling. Literally.
Your model has faces that are flipped the wrong way or edges that have more than 2 faces attached to them.
It also means you should clean up your geometry.
I've gotten that error before, and I didn't mess with any faces then. but that map also had water in it so I think I'm doing the water wrong. the plane and the material in the material editor are labeled water!$. did I miss label, I'll try it without the $.
E: I get the damn Triangle thing again, why can't tool just fucking work for me for once! son of bitch! why the fuck would it go back to that, I though I cleared that up?
I don't think you should be going to complex until you can do basic :S
It has nothing to do with tool. In fact tool is a excellent program.Quote:

Here's the indoor, 3-story building tutorial. Only cover doors and room. I fucked up a bit at the beginning b/c I wasn't used to the interface. I skipped cleaning up the mesh b/c I thought you would know how to do something like that. Just basic box rooms, if you want more, learn techniques, but this is just basics down seeing how you have trouble with EVERYTHING! About 14 min, I sounded sleepy b/c I was. Volume of voice is low so turn up yours. Sorry if you can't understand.
