Damn you're only 9 and you know all that. Crazy kid :P. I'm 16 and I know nothing bout half that stuff. Anyway, I was having trouble with Sapien too and someone on the Gearbox forums showed me how to run radiosity in Tool. So for my map Death Basin, I type in this: tool.exe lightmaps levels\deathba...

That's a really nice shortcut Superfly .

The long way to do it is enter cd and then the directory. So for example I enter in this:

cd c:\program files\microsoft games\halo custom edition

Hope that helps. I recommend using Superfly's method though.

I actually got one tree to be collidable by taking another's collision model. Just thought that you may like to know.

Haha OK here I'll explain it better. 1. Open the Command Prompt (in Start-All Programs-Accessories on XP). 2. Type in cd and a space, followed by your Halo Custom Edition root directory (here is mine: cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition ) and then hit enter. 3. Now you type in th...

In the command prompt type the following: (replace all yourmap's with the name of your map file)

tool build-cache-file levels\yourmap\yourmap

Then you just open up Halo Custom Edition and it should be in the map list. I hope that solves your problem.

A couple of the models in my map have a material with only a diffuse color and no bitmap. I was wondering if I still need to make a .shader file for these materials. Please help soon. Thanks.

I get this error for my map after I type radiosity_save. Please tell me what I can do to fix it. Thanks a bunch.

06.09.04 06:02:47 radiosity error: smooth triangle group too big for page levels\deathbasin\shaders\deathbasin_ground

Yea I've had the same problem but so far I haven't been able to extract it to 3ds Max. I will probably just take the collision model of a similar tree and apply it to the ones without collision models.

But in the debug.txt it says that the smooth triangle group is too big for the deathbasin_ground but it has the exact same shader as the previous version that the radiosity worked correctly on.

Are you talking about making them in Guerilla or making new shading groups in 3ds max?

When I type in radiosity_save after all the numbers are at 0.000000, Sapien closes without saving anything. Here is the section from the debug.txt that contains my last radiosity process (and yes it took over a day): 06.07.04 23:00:12 sapien pc 01.00.00.0609 -----------------------------------------...

I'm glad you like the map so far 05H3T5KY. I posted in your topic as to how I was able to resolve most of my problems with this.

I have had this same problem and it has nothing to do with the thickness of the walls. The walls have no thickness and there is no way to change that. There's something wrong with the collision model and I was able to fix most of these problems by recreating all the offending faces. I just deleted t...

Yes I know that, but what is the standard size of a teleporter.

I need to know to dimensions of the teleporter that can be placed in the map in Sapien so that I can make a proper door frame. Please help ASAP.

Do you mean just export it to a .JMS again? Because there has to be some way to edit the collision models without remaking the entire map.

Thanks I didn't even think of the collision model. How can I edit this?

I am making a map (Death Basin) and on parts of the base you can throw grenades through the floor. However, on other parts they bounce like normal. The warthog wheels also sink some on the problem areas. Please tell me how to make it so the grenades will not go through the base. BTW I am using 3DS M...

Some of the trees you can collide with and others you can just go through. I've already watched the Scenery/Collision Model Tutorial but I can't make a model the right size for the trees. Is there already an inactive collision model for the trees or something? Please help me.
