Hey,
Id just like to start of by saying yes, this is my first post. i have been reading your forums and im intrested now. i started by moddin my box and playin with hht and after making an assult rifel that shoots scorpin missles at a fast fireing rate i looked into changing other things.
I dont know where to start, i have basic knolage of 3d modlers so the basic tuts didnt help much. What i want to know is what software do i need to get started. Also i dont know if its ok to ask but also how do you extract models? i looked at the script and downloaded it, but i guess i need guerilla? what is guerilla and where can it be found( dont know if im aloud to ask that, sorry if im not) ? I just dont really know how to get started, any links, help, or advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to Halomods.com

Well first off, Guerilla is a program that comes withing the Halo Editing Kit (HEK)

Here's What is Included Within HEK
-Sapien
-Guerilla
-Tool.exe
-A Basic Level Creation Tutorial (that i hate)
-And a few other thigns that help in a way of some sort

To Install HEK you need to have Halo Custom Edition (HaloCE) installed first. Both HEK and HaloCE are fairly easy to find. go here to find mirrors for both. As well as the plugin for 3D Studio Max (3ds max) 6 (also works with 7).

You can download the Trial for 3ds max 7 here (on the left hand side there is a button for the trial)

Using 3ds max you can create your own level for halo along with vehicles, weapons, scenery, etc.

I do not know anything about Xbox (even though i JUST got one with halo and halo2 reserve) so i do not know if any of this applies when using an Xbox. Either way, i helped

If you get stuck with anything within the HEK tutorial supplied with the download, you can always look at the tutorial done by Kirks which is on the main oage of the site listed underneath tutorials http://www.halomods.com/index.php?topic=Tutorials.

This should get you started on better map design.

Any questions, ill be glad to help.

I suggest using Kirks tutorials for the one that comes with the download sucks (in my opinion)
