Im not sure if you are familiar with what video is which but im on the 2nd. vid. It talks about using 3d Max and making 2 boxes, when i made the map following the directions, the walls as well as the floor was my map, (like map on floor, how its supposed to) but also as all the walls??? i made the map bigger then the vid. said in painshop pro. so whould the box be bigger in 3ds max ?

the size i made in photoshop, was 3x the size is said in vid.

should i make the box in 3ds max 3x bigger? or does that matter,?

all i really need to know is why my map showed up on the walls of the box.

It sounds like you didn't change the material ID for the walls and ceiling...make sure you select the floor of the level and set that ID to 2 and the walls and ceiling should be 1

I think that the material when applied with the material editor will automaticly strecth out and macth the edges of the polygon you apply it to. i Took a 128 X 128 bit map from danger cannon and used that as a floor for my level, and it strecthed out, to cover my 10000 unit map. Of course the texture will now pixelate and look like crap, so you want to make as detailed a texture as possible.

NOt sure how it works in 3dsmax 3 .. in 6 it works fine.

Can someone help me with exporting the map through 3ds max. When i finish my map and am told to export it as a .jms file, i try to and it said "don't know how to save that file" or something of the type. Help please.

Hey slider821...

Have you installed the blitzkreig plugin ijnto your 3DS installation?

To install the Blitzkrieg Exporter Plug-in for 3ds Max do the following:


1) If you are running 3ds Max, close the program

2) Copy the file Blitzkrieg.dle from the Halo CE\Blitzkrieg directory.

3) Place the Blitzkrieg.dle file into the plugins directory under 3ds Studio Max (eg. c:\3dsmax5\plugins).

4) Start 3ds Max.

If the plug in was successfully installed and loaded then you should be able to go to File->Export and see the following export options under Save as type in the pull down menu (scroll down the list) "Blitzkrieg Animation Exporter" and "Blitzkrieg Model Exporter".

In fact I actually see 'Halo Model Exporter' or 'halo Animation Exporter'

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help, I did what you said and now it works. What i did wrong was use the max 5 exporter, when I am accually using 3dS Max 6. So, I got the exporter for max 6 and did what you said and now it works, thanks for the help.

you can get the 3ds max 6 blitzkrieg exporter here. btw... kirk, you are a genious, i really appriciate those tutorials, the one thatcame with HEK was useless and horrible compared to yours. i have recently created two very nice maps (in my opinion) thanks to you. i am eternally in your debt and the only thing i need to know now is the steps to making teleporters and ladders... thx a bunch man and keep it up.
