Using HMT3, how do i get actual stuff from other levels? Like, i can get the models but its still the old item just with a different model. So, how do I get say, a covie morter into BG. Like in the video.

I think you mean the HMT 3 video, if so this is how its done and if it doesent work for you go to the hmt forum on this site and ask.

1.open hmt3 and go to for example...deathisland and select batch extract from the menu(note that you MUST have an unmodded map to batch extract meta data)then once you selected batch extract check the meta data box and click the browse button, then set it to extract to the same folder that deathisland is in(preferably in microsoft games/halo/maps)deathislands map must be in the same folder that you extract to. Then click extract and wait for it to finish, once it does close out of deathisland and open up a level with wraith mortar(b40)then find the wraith mortar in the projectiles section, click on it then in the tag info area check the recrusive box and click save meta(recrusive makes it save all info releated to what you are saving with it)now save the mortar projectile or whatever in the same folder you batch extracted deathisland to and save, if you already have the map that you are saving stuff from modded this will not work. then close b40 and re open deathisland, select rebuild map from the menu and in the top box that says original map select the deathisland map that is in the same folder you batch extracted to, then when it asks you a question after you do that click yes. Now go and click on the ADD button at the bottom of the screen and go to the folder that you batch extracted to and find each piece of wraith mortar meta that you saved to there(they are probably already filed in somthing like Vehicles/Wraith/effects or somthin)then find all files related to the wraith mortar and individualy add them(do this by clicking the ADD button in the rebuild map section doing what i just said to do, selecting the mortar files and individualy putting them in by selecting them and clicking open)then once you have found them all and added them(each time you add one some writing should appear under the ADD button)then once you have added them click build, if you did it correctly it should finish building without any errors, then go to the map folder or wherever you batch extracted to and there should be a second deathisland map file called somthin like deathisland rebuild, now take the original deathisalnd map file out of that folder and rename the deathisland rebuild map file to just deathisland and then open deathisland in hmt 3 again, go to projectiles and select somthin like assault rifle bullet and in the tag info section select swap and find the wraith mortar projectile, then once you slected that click save in the tag info section, close hmt 3 and play deathisland, if you did it correctly you should shoot wraith mortar out of yer assault rifle, enjoy! :D
