Tutorial on Extraction and Rebuilding!
Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2004 9:04 am
If noone was clear on this thing. (I know I was confused as shit..) I made a tutorial for n00bs, in terms they might understand. (Seeing as I am one..)
Okay, here goes...
1). Open up HMTv3
2). Open up a SP map, we'll use Silent Cart.
3). Tools, then Batch Extract. (Put it in a folder somewhere in your Halo directory, I call mine Batch Extract stuff)
4). I batch extract everything because I'm going to use the sounds and stuff for my mods..., But all you need to do is Batch Extract Metadata and models.
5). This will take a while so go get something to eat.
6). After it's done close Silent Cart. and open up the map you intend to mod, I always do BG because it's a small map.
7). Batch Extract it to the same file as where you extracted the SP map
8.). Now that's done put a copy of your original Blood Gulch (or whatever map you're using) in the batch extract file.
9). Now choose Tools, Rebuild Map with HMT.
10). In the box where it says Original Map, select the map in the Extraction Directory
11). It'll ask for autofill, click yes.
12). Okay, now go to Additional Files and click add. Go to Characters, Grunt, grunt.bipd.meta and grunt.mod2.meta
13). Click build and wait for it to finish.
14). After it's done goto the Batch Extract Directory and right click on the file called (mapname).map.rebuild.map and rename it to (whatevermapis).map
15). Now move it to your Halo Maps directory.
If you want to play as a Grunt on whatever map you just rebuilt, go to HMTv3, Bipeds, select cyborg_mp, then click swap and select grunt. Click save and you're done.
This should clear anything up with anyone...
