Try changing your creen Resolution. Right click on the desktop and go to properties.....

This should help.

to what res?...and, just to get more questions answered, Im trying to make my own vehicle, a ghost, and I just replaced all those square gbx model parts and renamed the to the ones I need: (its collision-geometry models too)

hull back seat
hull mid
wing right
hull front
wing left

but when I went to export using the blitzMAX6 in my 3ds 7 it said that THERE ARE NO ACTORS TO EXPORT (no caps) and then EXPORT MODUAL FAILED (no caps again) and I can't export it. I ight hink that its I used the square markers instead of the circular....if that counts...lol....But please help

You have to link everything to the frame

(which I believe is like frame hull, or something.

So, create a box called "frame hull," and link everything to it.

For Sapien, open up debug.txt in the Halo Custom Edition Directory. Scroll down to the bottom of that txt file. The error of why it closed should be displayed.

If what Sharma says doesn't work try just fooling around with the screen resolution. Try to keep it at the best quality that you can have in order to keep it going.

You screwed something up in the tag itself. Pwned mb? Not much to do but try and recreate that tag.

It's difficult, but in about like 1-week, it becomes so simple it's not even funny.
