Map Making/Modding/Halo PC Error Questions (plz respond)

[snipedog118]

this is a really n00by question, but what affects the size of a map? (the in-game level not the file size)
and how the hell u import tags into a map?
is there a way to turn a PC into a CE map?

also, whenever I launch Halo (PC not CE, CE works fine...) it goes to the ntro movie (wit the m$, gearbox, and bungie movies) and it freezes or goes very slowly (like 1 frame per minute, skipping the thing freezes the game entirely.) I got bink and smacker installed (could that be the problem?) BTW: i have tried reinstalling halo pc and bink but to no avail... (i'll prbly try instaling it on my new hard drive...)

you must not choose reinstall, it just keeps the ol files.
do uninstall and then install, maybe that works

also.. try looking in the BUNGIE help forums and questions. Theres so many people, you're bound to get an answer right away. And if you dont find it there, then make sure to check all the pages of the tech forum if anyone had your problem.

1.the poly count (how big models are) affects lagtime
2. use programs out of HEK (sapien, guerrilla, and tool)
3. i think there's a program called HMVC. check the utilities, but i have no clue if it works.

if you have more questions just pm the crap outta me
no really. just leave me a pm or someone who is willing to help

no i mean wen ur actally playing the map, the size in distance. like if u were to fly/drive/walk from one side of the map to the other. It that is 3dsmax or in the HEK tools?
