ok open your map in bsp master or some other app like that. Then extract the map as an .obj file then open it in milkshape 3d and there are a straight line of polygons? or point things and just select them and lower them.

Milkshape might not open the BSP properly, because Milkshape 3D is a very low poly modelling tool, and some of the BSPs are more than 20,000 polys and can cause Milkshape to view them improperly or crash.

Removing Death Barriers

This Tutorial is on how to move the death barriers, eg. Under Ascension, Lockout, Zanzibar Sea wall

Difficulty: 3/10

Step 1: Needed Equipment

Step 2: Removing The Death Zones
Open Insolence

Then go the the [scnr] tag
Double click the word IPF Plugin, to switch it to DEV Mode
Then go to Unknown 6
Under the Reflexives Tilte

Now Sign the map in Dothalo or in another map signer
Close the map

FTP it to your xbox

Load the level and your map should be able to get to where you want without the pesky death zones

thats from halokit.. he searched there already -_-

and if you wouldve taken time to read, you wouldve noticed that AND the fact that he's talking about invisible walls and not about deathzones -_-

yeah he's right, and by the way The flying dutchmen, your custom mainmenu ownnnnn, but anybody have ideas? i did the thing for the .obj to get the vertices down, but it looks like that doesnt work, oh and another question, what's the tag for the gun models???

ive just been researching this lately and found a couple things that might help

http://www.haloplugins.com/forums/index ... gopid=1305&

the format of obj output by milkshape and others is not recognized by Entity
Obj files are just text files with all the information needed to create a 3d model

BSPMaster only outputs the vertices (prefixed by v in the obj file)
Entity outputs the vertices and lines (lines are prefixed by f in the obj file)

the lines output by Entity are in the format

Code: Select all

f n n n

output from Milkshape is

Code: Select all

f n/n/n n/n/n n/n/n

the output from Entity is the first number from each section of the output from milkshape but for some reason after i remove lines and convert the format back to what Entity outputs, it still does not import correctly
when i try to inject the bsp collision mesh i get a msgbox of 'test' and when i test the level, i have no collision at all

when i export from entity and then reinject the unedited file, it seems to work correctly...
