Another HMT3 Topic

[Ang88]

I am really getting made with this cause it isn't working.

First I batch extracted meta data from BloodGulch
Then i put the bloodgulch map in the folder with the extraction
Next i extracted the elite from the first level with the recursive box check.
i put these files in with the meta i extracted.
i pushed rebuild map, picked the bloodgulch map in the folder with the extraction
then i push yes to automatically fill in the other fields(it does and with the correct locations)
then i tell it to add the elite.bpd.meta
i push build, the map then gets built
i rename the map, and put it in my halo maps folder
i test it out and it works

i next go back to hmt 3 and swap the meta with the biped cyborg and the biped elite
i tested this in halo, no change, but map works fine
i tried swaping the pc models, no change, but map works fine

how do i play as elite?

I havent messed around with HMT much (as far as rebuilding goes... I'm loving the extract and editing features though), but I would guess that you have to include animation triggers and EVERYthing related to an elite


Orrr... inject the meta data of the model directly on top of the MC.

*shrug*

I'm gonna try to work on rebuilding maps tonight. It sounds awesome.

im not shure wut rebuilding is but is this it?
tell me if this is right but rebuilding a map lets you put things from other maps in wutever map you want?

[Ang88]

since objects in a map have certain locations when you try to insert an object that is larger than the current, it will through off all the other locations makeing the map not work right

rebuilding makes the map with the correct locations with the inserted file

i rebuilt my map with all files involved with the elite

o i get it

[Ang88]

i figuered out that when you just push swap meta you have to push the save button or it does nothing

i swapped the elite with the cyborg mp and it worked kinda
i got the sounds working, he could only use covenant objects etc.
but the model was screwed up big time
looked like a pile of scrap metal when i sat in the ghost or when i died

anyone know why or how to fix this?

as a matter of fact, monoxideC and aztec do but they wont help so,

maybe u should try swapping all the children of the elite with those of the mc (except 4 bitmaps)
