Tutorial *on how to add vehicles to a map?*

[Phuzz]

is there a tut on how to add vehicles to a map which has no vehicles like wizard or carousel?

(not to rebuild the map preferrably)

[Veegie]

Every MP Map has all 6 of the vehicle's data.

but, on some maps, there are no vehicles, so you can't move them in spark edit

[gecko753]

you might have to edit the .scnr.xml (or something) file.. maybe add a dependancy? or you could just replace a scenery object.. but thats too easy and it wont respawn

[latot]

Okay. There are 2 ways of going about this. The first way is a lot easier and faster to do and the second is slightly harder.

1) Just get the meta of a vehicle, highlight it, and paste it over a scenery object. Then in SE3 you move the piece of scenery/duplicate it/ whatever you want.

2) This one may be more favourable to people who don't want to replace scenery. I will use "chiron/putput.map" and the "warthog" for an example. In HMT open putput.map and go to the "[vehi] Vehicles" tag and select the warthog. Now see at the top right of the "Tag Information" there are three boxes? Well now you have to change them. For the first one change it to "scen". For the second change it to "obje" and for the third change it to "yyyy". Now click on "save". Now you will see that the warthog is under scenery, and not vehicles. Now open putput.map in SE3 and go to "tools">"import tag into scenario...". Select scenery and the warthog and click on "okay". Then get an already existing scenery piece and click on it. then duplicate it. and then under "swap:" select the warthog. Save your changes and open the map back up in hmt. go to the scenery tag and click on the warthog. change the three boxes this time back to: "vehi", "unit", "obje" and click save. close hmt and enjoy. you now have imported a vehi without replacing a scen object! Congratulations!

iron forge had a indepth tut to make them have there own spawn points not of the scenery but his site is no loger up

[Phuzz]

o and i have one more question...how do i add scenery like rocks or trees
(again preferrably not to rebuild the map) and when i converted my map i placed all the spawn points and weapons and stuff but when i test it in halo most of the weapons are not there the frag nades arent there but when im in Spark Edit everything is there

(i know i am acting like a real n00b here but this stuff isnt really explained in monos tutorial

[{IAS}Bunkerking]

deadly shadow is makeing a tut for it

[Phuzz]

i know and i want it to come out soon because i am make a REALLY nice conversion but i cant....yet
(i hope it makes front page)

its easyiest to just swap with scenery and move the scenery in se

[Phuzz]

its easyiest to just swap with scenery and move the scenery in se

what do you mean? do you mean the vehicle thing or the scenery thing



and how do i import new scenery like a rock from a sp (or mp) map and add it into the converted map because that is not explained in the tutorial by Mono i know how to extract it but when i add it to rebuild map "add" stuff section i tried to add the mod2 thing but it didnt work and do you need to de-crap a model like a vehicle that is already in there like a hog or a ghost in a sp-mp conversion

and how do i import new scenery like a rock from a sp (or mp) map and add it into the converted map because that is not explained in the tutorial by Mono i know how to extract it but when i add it to rebuild map "add" stuff section i tried to add the mod2 thing but it didnt work and do you need to de-crap a model like a vehicle that is already in there like a hog or a ghost in a sp-mp conversion

You don't add the mod2, thats a dependency, you add the veh.meta if its a vehicle, those files contain references to other dependencies that make up the tag...you just de-crap the models for the BSP chunk you are going to build for the conversion.

if u dont add .mod2 the models are screwed up

ok but i need to know how to add scenery because when i add the stuff i have no idea what to put

(i have been adding the mod2 stuff and then i tried the scen)

[Phuzz]

WAIT would it make a difference in the scenery in the sp conversion if i used something like danger canyon instead of carousel?

[{IAS}Bunkerking]

keep adding the mod2
