HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

whenever i try to open a scenario (btw, how do i open maps in sapien if i only can open scenarios and the only scenario is "test" or w/e) sapien will open for a split second, then dissapear. all i see is a gray box with four windows inside and they dissapear. the tool.exe button wont respond, i double click and it does nothing, and i have no idea what to do with guerilla. please help.

Tool.exe is a thing you run through command prompt. Place a copy of it in the haloCE root directory andthen make a shortcut to that on your desktop. Whenever you open the CMD (command prompt window thingy) then it will be set there. Type in 'tool' or 'tool.exe' to recieve the list of commands, etc.

Guerilla is the program used to make tags, needed for level creation. You can create skys, physics, projectiles, weapons (tags at least), and anything really...you name it.

Sapien is the program in which you can view your level and toy around with the content. Scenery, vehicles, weapons, etc. Put whatever you want into it. But it can only open .scenario files, which means map that you hve made and/or recieved. Normal levels like Bloodgulch, Danger Canyon, etc...cannot be opened within there, unless it was remade and re-implemented.

Have you attempted making a map yet? If you want to test thigns out, i can make you a simple small box map tat is completely flat, just to play around with what it does.

yes that would be great! t/y very much oh mr.roboto. i found out that my desktop properties needs to be at 16 bit color. im toying with tutorial right now. its very confusing.

EDIT:i still dont understand tool, could you give me a link to a tut? i sound like a noob i know, but im in conversion from halopc to ce lol

nah, your not a noob, and you don't sound like one. Just a simpel newcomer

You like everyone once was....wanna hear somethign funny? I was one of the first people to get HEK working correctly, and i have not released a single map....ha ha hahahaha ha

I feel sad. The other sad part is that i think i got it working because i did somethign wrong. *cry*

Anyhow, if i had a desktop recording program, i could make a mini move on what to do....but i dont *grr*

I'll make you a simple test map, and maybe send you a couple random models that you can also toy around with. My custom test map is called Grass. simple, yet effective lol. i think it is either a 5000 by 5000 map or a 10000 by 10000 map....has every weapon i have made, every model i have made plugged in one way or another.

Anyhow, I can send you the map, and a couple scenery files like a base, or tunnel, or bridge, or maybe even a weapon (Oooo)

I cannot do it right now because i'm going ot go take a shower (wh00t smelly) anyhow, feel free to PM me or e-mail me at [email protected]

that goes for anyone...i would like more e-mails other than Jasc software, discreet, and electric rain lol..tenebril too, whatever the hell that is..

i get so much crap that i save because they are nice programs and i dont delete them if they say "50% off" etc lol

wow, thank you for the help, im trying to figure out how to play the tutorial map right now. my e-mail is [email protected] if you wanna send me models and guns and whatnot. oh, and if its not to much of a prob, i need a simple tut on modeling. i cant seem to figure it out. i made one model but it looked more like a morpheous blob than an assualt rifle.

You're a good man.
If you check on the main page and go to the tutorials page ( http://www.halomods.com/index.php?topic=Tutorials )
and look at Kirk's tutorials you will have a better understanding of what commands to use and stuff.
Just don't give up when it pisses you off. Worst thing you can do =P

So I'll be on around 3:30PM EST/4:00PM EST to whenever....if i'm not on, then just PM me telling me to get on, that is wat Snaf does.

yeah im usually on around like 3:00-7:00 EST. school? how old are you?
