Halo CE Begginer- Everything you need to get started mapping

Post by 00ace »

Ok I'm going to teach everyone how to get setup with Halo CE, and making a map.

A list of materials/programs
1.Halo CE
2.HEK
3.3ds Max 7 or 6
4.Blitzkrieg .jms Exporter
5.PhotoShop or Paintshop Pro
6.A willing to learn brain


Ok now that you know what you need lets go over what each one of them mean

1.Halo CE- Halo Custom Edition, A free program released by Bungie for people to play Custom Maps. It still contains everymap the PC version does, except it's free..

2.HEK- Halo Editing Kit well lets say this is The 3rd step in map making HEK contains:
Sapien- Places Scenery(Trees plants lights etc.) Weapons, CTF flags and stuff like that vehicles too.
Gurriella- Opens Tags(Tags are the weapons, vehicles, scenery etc.) and allows you too edit your own tags if you've made some or the tags HEK includes.
Tool- A DOS based program which you type a command and it finds the file and compiles it.

3.3ds Max- This is how you make your map, you basically put a bunch of Boxes together and make shapes with very Enhanced tools might I add.

4.Blitzkrieg Exporter- This is how you export your map from max to .jms which Tool finds and compiles to a .scenario, then you open the .scenario with Sapien, and add your weapons and stuff then save then use tool and compile the .scenario to a .map allowing you to play your custom map.

5.Photoshop- A Program that you will make a ground for your map its like paint but much more tools, and for the tutorial movies the file is included in there so dont worry about making it for the tutorial, but for future maps you will need to make you own.

Now we've gone over the materials and vocab lets link you to these programs.
