if its for a map...it needs to be shader environment. I learned that the hard way.

What's the materials names?

Also, if you choose one of those (which you shouldn't) it will create a blank shader file material name + chosen extension into the /tags folder. You shouldn't do it this way.

tags/test/yourmap

Make a new folder called "shaders" and create a shader_environment for each material used. The shader has to match the material's name given in 3ds max.

Import the wrl into your scene and fix it from there.

what do you mean and how do i do that

Wait, do you use gmax or 3ds.

rmb7 · Post by **rmb7** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 1:54 pm

i use gmax

Error: Gmax is too failure to use .WRL Extenstion.

Translation: Gmax doesnt allow importing .WRL files on its own, you need a external script, such as Chimp.

Download Here: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=1147

First, go inside your gmax directory, and place the script in the plugins folder.

The rest of the instructions are in the .txt file.

Hope I helped!

ok i found the problem the sky part is messed up ok i will just redo that i will see if it works and if it does i will let you know if it doesn't i will come back lol

edit 10/26/07: Ok i got it fixed but now tool says all these errors. So I imported the wrl file and theres like 100 and something errors, I look at them and they are a bunch of boxes. I don't no what they mean most of them are on the water planes so I don't know whats going on. Heres a pic of tool with the errors.

That question does not pertain to this thread at all, but I guess I'll tell you anyway.

Create a text document and inside it put 'command.com'. Then save it as [insertnamehere].bat.

Drag the new file you just created into your Halo CE root directory
