Whats up with the logs???
Why cant you import buildings with sparkedit? I see alot of "LOGS" in maps these days wtf is up with that. Here you have a futuristic game and screwing up the looks of a map by building a building that looks like something DAVY CROCKET built in the frontier days lol how funny. So what is the best way I can import a building like lets say ummm replace the Bloodgulch base in the bloodgulch map with the Big Infinity Base into a Bloodgulch map.
Thanks

to replace the BG base with the the Infinity base, you would have to do that in CE.
but the reason you see a lot of logs is because none of the beginners know how to pmi. pmi is when you bring other objects from other maps, but you cant bring parts of the bsp

fishface, there's also the fact that when you PMI, other people on the map won't be able to see it.

Well they will be able to see if they have the map. Now I run very popular Halo server ... !!!!!The Real Heavy Weapon Whores Server. Not one of those freakin Copy Cat Servers. New We run 12 moded maps. Three of which are bloodgulch maps in the same map rotation. ( the maps were renamed even though they are bloodgulch maps ) Example:
our 2nd moded bloodgulch map is called .... Longest
our 3rd moded bloodgulch map is called .... Hang'em'high
Now the only way the user can see the all the new stuff is the user must download our map pak so they can see all the halo 2 stuff and more. Some of the maps we use on our server are single player maps that were converted to multiplayer maps. This is "not" a Halo CE Server its a HALO PC server.
All Im saying is that if you want a good looking map you have to PMI the objects into a map and its a real pain in the ass to do that. Just wish there was a better way to do it.
P.S. If someone wants to make a BG map and exchange the regular BG base for the Infinity base Ill run it on my server no problem hehehehe.

But whatever you say, it is quite time-consuming. Now, back on topic.
