just to clarify, even if I only put 2 vehicles into a map, the mongoose is still counted as a 7th vehicle?

looks like I spoke too soon actually... the atv appears in sapien but not in game. I also have a warthog in there and have no problems with it.

uhhhhhh i dont get sapien because when i open sapien it closes just as quick... I would like to see an answer to this, I have the same problem. Not very far into the tut, and I have done everything exactly. Sapien doesn't quite get the map open, and it closes. no error messages whatsoever. Setting ...

I didn't expect to see a difference, but I did start over and something new happened. A new twist that was not mentioned in the tutorial. No doubt something else I did wrong. :lol: So here is the message I get in tool. http://www.waylanandlaurie.com/halo/new-error.jpg You can see which option I sele...

You're probably right. I still don't know what to do though. I have a simple skybox. No topography. I made the skybox just as described in Kirk's tut, but stopped with just the simple box and ground bitmap. I haven't modified this box in any way except the obvious flip to make sides face inward. I'v...

Hey, Been sick so I'm trying to work on mapping but ran into trouble early on.. I'm following Kirk's tut for building the Splinter map. I gave up on the whole alpha map thing, decided to make the bitmap simple, and decided to just make a simple box map with very little topography just to see if I ca...

Thanks for the help. I understand what was going wrong but I've decided I don't have time for this. You guys keep working on the awesome maps I love to play.

No further assistence required on this problem.

First... I've been going through the beginners tut on map making and have gotten to the section on Tool. This is where problems show up if I made any before. I've run into problems with Shaders I think. I wonder if it's lnked to this: In the tutorial, the guy talks about going back into edit mesh af...

I don't know what you consider a user error, but what I did is certainly not one. I now see that you are correct that it is in the tags directory but that wasn't mentioned in the tutorial, which I followed.

The tutorial says: And you'll notice it did give us a warning... warning says "warning bitmap with greater than one bit alpha being compressed as dxt one" we actually don't want that to happen so we'll open up guerilla... open file, browse to folder, tool created directories that mirror th...

Ok, I tried again. These are my results: http://waylanandlaurie.com/halo/cmd.jpg Which is a different message than the tutorial describes. I then tried tool++ which of course is only a gui, but I figured maybe I would see something that would make sense: http://waylanandlaurie.com/halo/toolplusplus....

*BOOKMARKED*

TY again.

Thanks for the help. Could have spared the sarcasm.

Wait, my bad I found it. For others with the same question I had, this is what I found: Gmax apparently is free but has *less* features than 3dsmax. Free vs $3k... You balance the scales. The link is here: http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax You will need the exporter plugin to create teh JMS file as Bli...

Thanks for the response. I did google it. Unfortuantely, it's no longer offered. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/in ... eID=123112

Any others?

Can another more... cost effective program be used? I really don't feel like speniding thousands of dollars on a new hobby.

I am going through the beginners video guide here: http://www.halomods.com/index.php?topic=Tutorials I am stuck on step 7. Originally it told me my ground.tif Was compressed and it couldn't read it. I fixed that by using Jasc (sp?) Paint Shop, but now Tool tells me " Couldn't read map file './t...
