Sparkedit Swapping Problem

electrospyke · Post by **electrospyke** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 9:20 am

I have read various tutorials that say to swap a scenery item for instance with a weapon, or vehicle etc, but I can't. I have sparkedit 3.02, and it simply won't let me. I have to be in that particular item's editing mode to duplicate or swap, and I can only swap it with an item of the same type. ?
I really wanted to swap a couple scenery items in Battle Creek for banshees, just to see what it was like, but I can't. How am I supposed to do this??? (Other than rebuilding)

Post a printscreen of what's happening, that would help me help you.

I will do that as soon as I get home... But if this helps you any... I select the scenery item I want to swap right? Ok, then I go to the swap thing, and there are only scenery items in the scenery edit mode. So then I go into the vehicle edit mode... Whoops, that deselects the item. See my dilemna? How am I supposed to swap it if I can't even keep it selected when I go to the vehicle mode???

The solution to this problem is simple. You can'y do what youre trying to do.

However, you can:

Go into halo map tools and open beavercreak.

1) Select the banshee under the vehicles tag.

2) At the top where it says: "vehi" "item" "obje" in three boxes, change it si that it says: "scen" (not "scnr" !) "obje" "yyyy".

3) Click the save button.

4) Your vehicle will be under the scenery tab.

5) Open Beavercreak.map in sparkedit.

6) Go to: tools> import tag into scenario.

7) Change the first dropdown to "Scenery"

Click the banshee in the second dropdown.

9) Click 'OK'

10) Now you can swap scenery for vehicles.[/i]
