okay. I try to compile .jms files i get from chimp to gbxmodels but i just keep getting the error where it cant find the file or i use the wrong syntax.
I input this an te comm and line:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\>tool.exe model weapons\energy sword

And I get:

Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
usage: tool.exe verb <options..>
model source-directory

I know the first error statement means nothing bt can soeone tell me what i am doing wrong? I made the directories for the weapon just fine too!

Try putting weapons\energy sword in quotes. If that doesn't work, you might have to rename it to one word (energysword).

thanks now it does something but it comes up with a new error:

### energy sword.jms
### ERROR model file has wrong version number.
### ERROR failed to import geometry 'energy sword.jms'

can anyone help?

I'm pretty sure you have to do something in chimp or in notepad or something. I dunno. I don't use Gmax. But I'm pretty sure it has to do with chimp.

Chimp is more trouble than its worth.Alot of errors

I got it to work, but my model doesnt show up in the game!?

oh yeah i dont want to buy 3dsmax because of the price so i use gmax so i can be legal.

i dont even get that far when i try to use chimp i get an error when i try to create a jms it says "errror frame object not found"

This is probably a bad question, but did you set the model in your weapon tag?

You did make the box named "gun frame" (might be frame gun) and link all the refs to it, right?

it wasn't a gun it was a mesh for a map
