Gmax with the Chimp Maxscript.

ok but now that i got gmax what do i do? isnt there some special thing i have to do to make modles and maps?

Well, read the HEK tutorial. Also download the CHIMP Maxscript for Gmax, which allows you to export your maps with Gmax into Halo Compilable .jms files.

thx now i can pratice making maps and such...or is there something special i have to do to make models?

Bah, Chimp doesn't allow model exporting for some reason. To create models, just make them, and send it to someone in .obj format with the .obj GMAX Maxscript Exporter, OR just download the 3ds Max 7 trial...

To make models, just create a folder called "test" in your data directory, and in that folder create the two folders called "models" and "physics."

Now, export your model as a .jms in those two folders, and run tool.

Type in:

tool models test
enter
tool collision-geometry test
enter

viola! custom models!

yay, now ill i need to do is get chimp and gmax and that other thing...thank you!!

EDIT:
im having a hard time finding chimp maxscript ... do you have a link to help me out?

YIPPY!!!
thx for the help guyz ill try to make some good maps
