yeah really i mean somebody give these people there own forum call it the "Discovery Forum" or something cheesy like that, so we do not have to deal with theses dumb threads. Also I think I will start posting a link, and only a link, to the Tut section whenever i see a dumb question.

I Agree, maybe there should be a sticky in the downloads section where noobs can post thier simple mods.

lol yeah we need to think of a cheesy name for that as well. ^_^

I was completely serious about that.

Yes, but seriously someone should do it.

Actually i didnt know how to meta swap...So i made light changes, made vehicles less powered, edited weapons to shoot faster and better, made chief stronger...

All because i didnt know how to swap a meta.

And i love how bcnipod comes into this conversation...haha

what?

ok this is a serious question, you seem to help alot but i have not seen one mod made by you. Have you made a mod [/end of serious question, not flaming, just asking, so dont start flaming me]

I have released two official ones. I am working on a complete redo of almost all the weapons in the SP campaign.

that is one the other was deleted by ShadowKhas. I will have it up again soon. but here is the download link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=248135

Yeah it is true that I have not released many, I have help Tyler777 a lot with Beta testing Converted map. I cannot do many serious mods because for some reason the Frameworks needed for C#MT to run do not work properly on my computer.

ok, thanks for not flamming.

And also, any noobs or newbs that are reading this. Seriously dont go on to CE until you know almost all of HMT and how to work it. And know how to do alot of things.

I just helped a guy that closed his script at the begining >_>

(script continuous yay)

Why wont that work?

Yeah so uhh, PC is a great way to get into mapping, but just check out tutorials.

Really? That's interesting. It actually took a couple tries and a tutorial to get any meta swapping for me to work, I just went under weapon and copied the rocket launcher over the AR, which didn't work out, at all.

I didn't get into the actual tag editing for a while, all i did at first was meta swaps, maybe change a projectile speed, the amount shot etc., but that was it for about a month or so, then I just sped through and learned a lot of stuff in about 2 weeks.

Mostly from trial and error, some tutorials, and some questions. I went from projectile swaps and little tag editing on bloodgulch with one PMI being "great" for me, to having a PMI with duplicated weapons and 9 different AI characters being kind of boring in about 3 days.

What I don't like is that for almost everything I learned, I figured out how to do it and not what I was doing. Like for example, with putting flood/marine AI through a PMI, You told me to delete the powerups folder, and now I know how to do that, but I don't understand why it needs to be done. Stuff like that bugs me.

The Multiplayer doesnt work with the Powerups.

If you add it through CE it works however.

Really only tut i used was one to pmi (by 13igex13ude)

Than everything was like haha i know how to do that (oh yeah bsp tut that came with HMT)

yea, i'm still working on my first one (perfectionist and extremly slow pace) and its got a bunch of bsp conversions with a few skins, but nowhere near done

not_quite_a_nice_guy · Wed Oct 10, 2007 6:07 pm

I once turned bloodgulch into Assault on the control room, it was fun, pretty much, what I did was PMI everything from AotCR into bloodgulch, and swap the dependencies, then I found out how glitchy it was, and gave up on it.

what has this thread turned into? I suspect there will be a huge n00b rush in the CE section soon because all the n00bs here ask how to do things, and half the time the answer is to go learn CE...

Andrew_b · Post by **Andrew_b** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 9:03 pm

well probably wont last long when they realize...omg i have to spend money to get the good program.

But yeah, I hope to come out with a new bsp for PC soon, maybe 1 month.
