Ill help. So make sure all the bases are called base01 02 and the frame box is called frame and the skybox is called sxybox.

Yeah, the bases don't have to be called base etc, in fact it might be better if you go Edit mesh>Attach... w/e.

just get the blitzgrieg exporter for what every version ya got.

He only put .jms at the end cos he didnt wanna dpo the drop down menu, and he expected you too have the exporter.

got another problem

look in tool...
when i was creating the structure of the level u know in the 7th tutorial it say this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool structure levels\Comba
tTraining CombatTraining
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
building intermediate geometry...
choose a type for the shader 'plussky':
1. shader_environment
2. shader_model
3. shader_transparent_generic
4. shader_transparent_chicago
5. shader_transparent_chicago_extended
6. shader_transparent_water
7. shader_transparent_glass
8. shader_transparent_meter
9. shader_transparent_plasma
choice (1-9): 1
some shaders were not defined

i select the number 1 so now there is no scenario in the level

and when i try to do it again it says this:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool structure levels\Comba
tTraining CombatTraining
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
building intermediate geometry...
building collision geometry...

Shut up ASS

Ok now go to import, and go to your halo ce root directory and on the file drop down menu choose wrl file. Then choose your mapname.wrl file

On that only have create primitives checked, now go look at your errors to fix where you may have a face with no material on it or it may be the wrong wawy around.

Da Rapper · Post by **Da Rapper** » Sun Jul 18, 2004 3:08 am

but what file do u mean eith .wrl? i dont know whats that
u want me to open the map again and see if there is no texture or bitmaps? well my map i dont know why but is all gray and i cant put the bitmap... the file mapname_ground i dont look over the level in 3Ds Max...
what can i do?

Orchid · Post by **Orchid** » Sun Jul 18, 2004 3:50 am

If your in 3ds and the level is gray, that owuld be because you havent applied the bitmaps, in the material editor.

Emm thats why so do that, and does teh bitmap have a alpha map on it, just just i know yuou will make this map and then be like wtf no textures.

Da Rapper · Post by **Da Rapper** » Sun Jul 18, 2004 6:09 pm

but i start all over and i got all good the map its with bitmaps and all but now im in comand promt... when im going to create the structure it says the problem that i tell to u... when i have to choice a number....
and the scenario tag doesnt appear...
what now?

Da Rapper · Post by **Da Rapper** » Sun Jul 18, 2004 6:27 pm
