i have no clue to how to get pass this hell i even download blue streak to see if 3DS Max was coursing the problem but it is not

Bluestreak is for Halo CE, unless Ghost made a Bluestreak .ASS exporter I'm not aware of.

Browse to "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Halo 2\debug.html" or "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Halo 2\reports\debug.html" and post the last error. I can't remember which file it is, it's been a while since I dealt with the H2EK.

Did you run the first compile with the lowest lighting or any lighting? Unfortunatly your screen-shot blocks out that info.

Alright well ive got the sapien to load lol i wasn't compiling with lighting @_@ i feel so stupid now lol anyway do it did come up with loads of errors...... heres the debug

EDIT: and i didnt know bluestreak was for CE lol

[Vicky]

Looks normal... for h2v that is :P .. if you can see your map...

Yeah, it's rather sad how many errors the stock tag set has in it.

[paladin]

I know

[Tristrum]

Alright so i should be ok then if its showing up and all?

[Vicky]

Yeah these are normal warnings and stuff and if you can build and load your map and can have a walk around on it you're on your way.

[Tristrum]

alright thanks vicky and everyone that has helped me ...... i prefer this forum lol all the other forums ive been on are like dead or takes forever for someone to reply lol well thanks alot again
