Hey, I tried importing ai into the map (just the ai, not the bipd itself) and i keep getting an exception. I used that one guy's tutorial (the guy who start's with a d) and still got an exception. I think i did everything that the tutorial asked me to do, but something is wrong.

Here are the exact steps that I do:

Batch extract BG (I clicked yes to Extract Bsp)
Recursive save meta of the elite major needler actv
Copy all the contents of the elite major needler actv folder
Paste it into the BG Batch
Go to rebuild log
Add elite major needler.actv.meta
Rebuild the map
Open the rebuilt map in HHT
On the ghost vehicle, swap the 'nulled out' actv dependency for the elite major needler actv dependency
In HMT, swap the elite meta for the cyborg meta (non multiplayer)

I then start the game and get an exception. Any help would be nice, thx halomods!

This is only a test, and if i get it working, i plan on making a multiplayer map, and the tutorial said something about replacing the gun turret's actv for the elite's actv so that other people (not only the host) can kill the bots. I don't quite understand this. By doing that, will the bots not be able to move? Would it be possible to make the bots move and for other people to kill them as well?

Thx a bunch!

2 things...i was doin the same things when i started....

1) save the meta to the same folder u batch extracted bloodgulch or w/e ur map is: if u paste it in there it will overwrite the other stuff and the other stuff is kinda important

2) when u rebuild the map, in the additional files, go into the batch extract folder, then to characters, and find the meta of the elite u saved......there should be 3-4 folders (bitmaps, effects, and some others) with a bunch of files below them.....place all those files in the additional files, then go back and go into those folders that i mentioned (1 by one) and place the files inside those in the additional files as well

dont use hmt to swap the bipeds, use hht and open up the elite biped. jsut swap the mod2,coll,and antr to the cyborg ones.
and if u want to know how to do perfect models, it is fairly simple but just longer then normal
