ok, i was doing the collision geometry, which i know is the butt busting part off tool and I got this:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>Tool.exe collision-geometry vehicles\hover
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
### hover_collision.JMS
### WARNING found #50 degenerate triangles.
### WARNING found #46 coincident triangles.
### ERROR found z buffered triangles (red).
### WARNING found nearly coplanar surfaces (red and green).
### ERROR edge #2931 is too short (red).
### ERROR failed to import collision bsp.
### ERROR couldn't import permutation 'hover_collision' of node 'frame hull'.
### ERROR failed to import collision model 'vehicles\hover\hover'.

and i know this probably has to do with the way I out in my marker's...right?.....thanks for any help :idea:

dont use your regular model for collision geometry. just make a rough box or two around it, then delete the old model. there can be no overlaping faces or open edges in the collision model so make it like u would make a level

yea...the tut i was following never told me to deleat the old model....

but now I have another problem...when I try to do the animations thing i get:
"model animation compression saved 0 bytes" (no "")

and I dont know what to do for the animations.....

no you can't delete the collision in a vehicle.Collision are very importent so a little tut on collision(based on my own experience):
Scenery:
HMCHELLJUMPER says that collision in scenerys are not inportent.That's only the half truth.If you make a scenery without a collision you can go right trough it and you can't shoot at it.
Vehicle:
When you read ^that^ you probadly know that you need collision for vehicles that look almost the same as the vehicle.
Weapons:
You don't need collision for weapons.
That's it!
