You can either do 2 things.

1. Go to maxscript > maxscript listener then carefully copy and paste all the info into notepad (it cant highlight all the info, you have to do it section by section). Then save the notepad file as a .JMS

OR

2. Use chimps Grablistener (not the one you open up in gmax, its actually called grablistener. Just run it after bluestreaks thing is done. Then save it as yourmap.JMS

no spaces allowed.

i dont understand how and where to open grablistener from! do i just go to start menu, my documents, my games, grabelistener? when i open it it comes up with a blank window and askes were to save it. haha. do i open it up from gmax? if then how. thanx for the help though if you cant help anymore ^^. i appreciate it (however you spell it...)

click on your grablistener (whereever you put it) NOT IN GMAX. Then, just use it as you would normally save something.

hmmm... i'll try it again when i have time this weekend. i remember opening it but in the black box theres nothing in there. and i heard you have to open it in notepad a delete somthing too. is that true?

you dont have to delete anything if you use Bluestreaks JMS exporter. Just click "Export JMS data" on the JMS exporter, then click MINIMISE on gmax, then open up grablistener. Its alot easyer than continuously copy+pasting everything.

so, ill tell you about converting models right now since I am much to lazy to make or find you a complete tool tutorial

so, open the comand propmt, navagate to you HCE folder, tool model <folder(s) with in your data folder that contains the folder models that holds your JMS>

so, here would be my example, I have example.jms in <ce directory>/data/example/example/models/example.jms
so I would type tool model example/example

if you need to learn any other comands, just type tool in the comand prompt while in the CE directory, it will tell you other comands and slightly tell you how to use them
