umm first, learn to spell

then put a copy of command prompt in your CE directory

next type tool bitmaps levels\<-map name->\bitmaps

hit enter

it will then create the bitmap

after that, open guerilla and go file\new\shader_environment

load the base map as the bitmap you created

Hte bitmap is in your tags\levels\[yourmap]\bitmaps folder.
You HAVE TO CREATE the shader_environment tags in your tags\levels\[yourmap]\shaders folder b4 u build the structure with tool.

Go to file-import, then navigate to your HaloCE root directory and change the import file type to .WRL, there should be a file called "Your map's name".wrl, import it and it should show you where your errors are. I don't know if you can import .wrl's in Gmax though, I know it works with 3ds Max.

i know how to import them but how do u make one?ne way what do i do after i have a shader_environment made?(mines is 1 KB is that a problem)

After you creat your shaders you compile your .scenario, do this by going to tool and typing "tool structure levels/*yourmapname* *yourmapname*"

When you compile your structure with tool and it gives you errors it should automatically create the .wrl file in you HaloCE root.

when i try and make the structure it tells me this

what do i do?

open ur map in the 3d tool u used to create it, then import the .wrl in the the halo ce root directory that has the same name as your map

then i think my tool dosent wanna make a .wrl file

i cant find it

The_Hushed_Casket · Post by **The_Hushed_Casket** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 4:14 pm

That is an exception in the building, not an error so it shouldn't create a .wrl
It looks like there is something wrong with your materials, make sure you didn't mess something up.

.i dont mind its just i used up a week to find this out.but anyway if someone can go on like teamspeak aim or Yahoo IM to help me,that would help alot more.but if no one can then please lead me to a GMAX tutorial site,perferably video tutorials.thnx!
