1. Do not double post. It pisses the admins off.
2. Open Dark Matter, make sure you have mainmenu, shared, and single_player shared maps in same folder as your map you are injecting into.
3. When you have your .obj you want to inject, rename it as many times as there are .obj's in the ORIGINAL model: For example if you are doing the Battle Rifle. You will see this when you extract it from Dark Matter:

Ok so then go back to Dark Matter with the model viewer STILL OPEN. Click import. Then click the folder with the modified files in it that I just explained above. Dark Matter will then ask you to save the meta somewhere. Do that then you will see your new model in Dark Matter's model viewer. Next, WITHOUT CLOSING THE MODEL VIEWER, click tools>add to map. Another screen will come up and ask for the meta you saved earlier. Open it and then wait for it to say done. Sign it and close Dark Matter. Open your map in Insolence. Goto the [mode] tag and find your model. There will be two tags that are identical. You want to rename the second one in the list. Then goto [html] tag and find the html of your model. Swap the dependency of the html with that of your re-named tag in the previous step. Now if you want first person model then you have to also swap the first person dependencies in the [html] tag of your model. Finally sign your map and ftp it and it should work. Hope this helps you

ok thanks i'll go try another question when i try to extract something it says unexpected error occured. and when it goes in the game it goes crazy all jagged alot of times i can't inject either, is there a limit to the amount of models you can have in one map because i only have one in it.
(XxD3ATHxX did you have a gamertag called deathwisha?)

edit: i can't find the html tags i can only only find hlmt so i'm lost... again.

Or you can use Entity...

whats the big difference between entity and darkmatter? I read that the new object must have more polygons and must be a bigger file then the original. I also read that the shaders that actively change must be nulled out(or something like that) like the battle rifle scope lens ones and tens. can anyone post a link with a list of the shaders that must be turned off?

well can i moedl be broken cause i'm using ones off the tags and resources page

Did you scale your model...And um who said it had to have more polygons and had to be bigger? I think you have it backwards. I think....

Hey achilles614:
USE THEBUTTON

i do use the edit button but then it doesnt bump it and then its on like the second page so yeah. but i must be retarded cause i've been trying for hours are the models in the tags and resources section halo 1?

edit: one of the tutorials said it had to be bigger.

just don't double post

You forgot to merge the two posts at the beginning.
