you can go to halomods.com and click the link at the top that says HEK Video Tutorials they teach you how to make maps

Can someone send me a simple tutorial?

That, in all honesty, is non-existant, at least at this time. When FleetAdmiralBacon finishes UHMM, it should be easier though.

In the meantime, you have to learn A LOT in order to make even an bad map.

Use the tutorials that GTAF posted, and the ones Meat recommended, but only do it if you're willing to learn a lot of new things.

That is for Max 6. It will work for version 7 & 8 as well.

That is step by step video tutorials. It's probably not going to get any better than that.

Also, some tools you can use for mapping

The only thing I can think of is if you linked your map to the frame

[SpecialBrownies]

Yeah. Link your skybox to the frame and then it should export.

uhhh...how? i just started so im a complete newbie pleaseee help lol

Did you watch Video Tuts or read the Halo Editing Kit tutorial? You create a box anywhere called frame, any size. Then, select your level geometry, click the link button on the top left (just hover your mouse to figure out which one). Click and drag a line with it from your level geometry to the box. It should work.
