Ahhh, I think I may have forgotten to UVW map it... thanks a lot.

But I removed that hole from the alph channel and it still won't work...

I have tried making a simple map with just a water plane, a skybox and a couple of islands... and there is no hole in the water there. That one works as normal, so what's wrong with this map that makes it so different...?

I've modified the water-mask so it is all white in the alpha channel, then recompiled the map, and there is still exactly the same hole in the water. It must be to do with the water-mask, since the hole is the same shape as that black section in the alpha was, but I must have to do something else. A...

***SOLVED*** My water has a big hole in the centre right where my level is. In the hole there is no water plane, but there is still fog underneath. At the moment I have: a water plane with a texture set to the b30 water and with no collision a map in the centre of this water a big hole in my water ...

I have found a solution now. After quite a bit of fiddling with settings and shaders, I found that if you use a Shader_Transparent_Generic with only the top section filled in, then it works. Sapien gave me some errors about an unsupported shader type, but overall the lights worked and were invisible...

or you can make a text file using notepad, put in it 'cmd' and save it as 'tool.bat' in your Halo CE folder. Then, to run tool just double click this batch file.

Generally, if you just import the .wrl file (only tick the last checkbox), then you just remake the faces which are highlighted. This should solve almost any problem.

It did compress with colour-key, but even when I had it set with a pure black alpha it would not save with explicit alpha.

light.shader_environment

The bitmap is just a white square (64x64) with no alpha.
The bitmap tag for it is set to compress it with explicit alpha, but it refuses, probably because it has no alpha to compress.

I think I've found a possible exporter on HaloMaps.org

Clicky

It think the nav points are under netgame flags on sapien. Also,at the start/end I think you need to place a race_vehicle flag.

I would also like to know how you set the hill for KOTH, since I made a circle of hill flags but it doesn't work.

Maybe if you saved it as some other filetype such as .obj then you could import it into MAX 7/8

I don't know it this is what's causing your problem or not, but Halo will only pay attention to the tiling settings on your UVW map, not in the texture settings.

***SOLVED*** I have been working on my first proper map using 3DS MAX 7. It is entirely indoors so I need lighting. I have followed a few tutorials and managed to get the lights working, but they still refuse to become invisible. Please help me with this as I have tried everything I can think of. a...

OK. First, sorry for the 11 month bump, but I felt this was better than making a new topic asking the same question. *runs from the moderators with their banhammers of doom* I have exacly the same problem, but My graphics card is quite good (Gforce 6700 XL) so I doubt it is that. Please. I really ne...

Likewise. I have exactly the same problem with 3DS Max 7. When I run it, it just says: "dle "C:\progam files\...." could not initialise" or something like that. EDIT: SOLVED. I saw in one of the stickies, this same question. Apparently you must go to cortana.org and download the ...

Search for PMI. Then just PMI the biped in.

See - right forum!

For you to not be able to walk through it there must be a collision. That is very wierd. I'll check a bit later.
