How to Make a Map For Halo Custom Edition Part 2

[UnknownDesigner3]

when i export as jms it says can't save that type of file help i did everything right

[noobking111]

I'm at 8:03 seconds and clicked export halo structure. but it says chip found errors. view the 'chipmerror' object and fix the corresponding faces. then the walls of the model turned orange, any ideas?

[vaughnscheunemann]

@noobking111 Chimp is showing you the errors by placing orange and multicolored polys where the (Bad) or (improper) polys/verts are. Creating 3D content can be a pain on HCE because it is so Picky. Try looking at the polys where you have errors and see if you can find anything odd about them.

[noobking111]

@vaughnscheunemann Ok thanks. Can you think of anything I should be looking for? I've never made a map for ce so I have no idea what it is saying :\

Thanks much!

[vaughnscheunemann]

@noobking111 Look for Polys that are in the same 3D space. Overlapping/intersecting. This is not allowed in HCE, Also no poly can end in nothing.

[TheJoker427]

What program are you using?

[dragonxanimation]

since when did youtube have virus filled ads? i accidentally clicked it and got a virus :/

[vaughnscheunemann]

@dragonxanimation Watch my How to Make Your Computer Faster in 5 Easy Steps.  Malwarebytes should help you with your problem.

[dragonxanimation]

@vaughnscheunemann omg you replied its amazing :O

[vaughnscheunemann]

@dragonxanimation Not that amazing I try to respond to questions I can answer in a little chat box.

[dragonxanimation]

[SuperSpasBros]

@reynareth123 how did you fix the overlapping surfaces

[nextgameis1229]

@reynareth123 how did you fix ### ERROR couldn't build bsp because of overlapping surfaces (orange). ### ERROR couldn't build bsp2d. ### ERROR couldn't build leaf. ### ERROR failed to import collision bsp.

[reynareth123]

It keeps saying:### ERROR couldn't build bsp because of overlapping surfaces (orange).

[vaughnscheunemann]

@totalembarrasment It appears that you have some mesh untextured.

[kenny2d4m4x]

23883 people gave up on this

[vaughnscheunemann]

[boogerman087]

[MMPA78]

wow, just the HEK file is taking me over 2 hours to download...

[FusionCicada]

Where did you get the map base? Like the bitmap thing files.

[mini0013xx]

i'm having trouble with the command.exe part.

it can't find the tool map, and it has an error (0x00000003[cannot find my damn jms file])

could you help me with that problem. I'm currently using gmax 1.2 and that also means chimp v1.6. (The one you're using in the video)

[Georgespartan01]

You are really funny when you say "Chimp"

[albertog2man]

guys if u have anyproblem doing the cmd thing this is wat u do... u go to ur system 32 folder and copy the cmd.exe and past it in ur halo custom edition folder and then open it and type "tool structure level\bliss bliss" then it should work :D

[MegaEDITvideo]

THXS FOR THE FUCKING HELP YOU DIDNT GIVE ME ON THE GMAX ONE IDIOT

[Awesomepy123]

@MegaEDITvideo im watcing it now and im pretty sure he just did

[TheNerdfightastic]

then theres more, i ran out of characters.

### the model shader mtl # cannot be used in the environment.

### the model shader material # cannot be used in the environment.

### the model shader mtl # cannot be used in the environment.

### the model shader mtl # cannot be used in the environment.

and yes, it repeated those, i didnt just put them there.

after all that it said,

building subclusters...

some shaders were of inappropriate types.

[TheNerdfightastic]

my command prompt came up with a crapoad of warnings, and aside for those, i think it said the same things as yours says, but i didnt get my .scenario. the warnings are, (after "building collision bsp") ### WARNING found nearly coplanar surfaces (red and green). (the rest came after building render geometry) ### the model shader material # cannot be used in the environment.

### the model shader mtl # cannot be used in the environment.

### the model shader mtl # cannot be used in th environment

[BSFxWINNIE]

choose a type for the shader 'sky': 1. shader_environment 2. shader_model 3. shader_transparent_generic 4. shader_transparent_chicago 5. shader_transparent_chicago_ext­ended 6. shader_transparent_water 7. shader_transparent_glass 8. shader_transparent_meter 9. shader_transparent_plasma choice (1-9): 1

some shaders were not defined

WHAT SHOULD I CHOOSE?

[goatmanvideo82197]

HELP! Im in gmax and i cant put multipul materials on the structure!

[stuntman30321]

when im in tool i try to bulid the stucture and i get this error:

How the hell can i fix this?

please give me a helping hand if u can.

[dapinkpwner2008]

@stuntman30321 Nobody will answer just forget about asking

[megahalolord]

[Thepoliticman]

So where you said tool structure levels/bliss bliss..... I don't know what that does... whats there? i didnt save anything there, and i saved my bliss.JMS in the scenes with my bliss.gmax and can you tell me what i did wrong?

[178hejin]

how can i fix open edges???

[vaughnscheunemann]

@178hejin Used weld and make sure there are no open edges. Like a plane with have open edges a square won't.

[123SnipeHim]

How do I use the cmd.exe thing? I copy and paste into my Halo CE folder. Then I open it and it should read as,"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>" Then type "tool structure levels\box01 box01? (my level folder and name is box01) But then a error comes up that reads as,

"Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'

building intermediate geometry...

### ERROR model file has wrong version number."

[northrend99]

This is a good tutorial.

[Naruto73281]

i use gmax, and every time i try to add textures, my floor turns out perfect, but when i try to add the walls, everything gets all screwed up. can anyone help?

[mastersync23]

I can't save as a .JMS. Did I miss something?

[Camy415]

@mastersync23 if you can save it as a .obj then go to notepad open up your .obj file, click save as then click all files instead of .txt, once you have done this save as a .jms

[mastersync23]

@Camy415 Okay, cool. I'll give that a go.

[Justin19941994]

hey how do you get the bitmaps into gmax, the files say .bitmap but it says it doesn't recognize the file type? please help!

[Mailman900]

when i type in the stuff into the cmd.exe

it says " 'tool' is not recognized as an internal or external command

operate program or batch file"

What dose that mean?

[linemaniac231]

what is the quick fix for tool?

[LightningFireFilms]

thanks

[LightningFireFilms]

why doesnt blitzkrege work in 3ds max 8 9 or 10?

[vaughnscheunemann]

@LightningFireFilms It works on 8... not 9 10... Guess why? I was not made for it.

[iwanthalo3reconarmor]

@vaughnscheunemann Where can I find 3ds max 8? All I can find is version 2010 and 2011!

[YouGotOwned99]

@LightningFireFilms dunno it says that mine fail to initialize

[LightningFireFilms]

@YouGotOwned99 use BlueStreak exporter, its a script you can download. google it, im sure u can find it. Go to MaxScript>>Run Script>> and then select the script and export it to the destination.

[julian9486027]

i have everything but the kit says it cant find haloce

[vaughnscheunemann]

You have to install Halo Custom Edition first for the Halo Editing kit to work.

[BlueLemonKnight]

@vaughnscheunemann um if u have it installed do u have to reinstall to make it work

[vaughnscheunemann]

@BlueLemonKnight What..

[bloodhawkwar]

@julian9486027 You Prob have halo ce downloaded from somewhere else then hce.halomaps.org thats what i had and it said couldnt find so i deleted it and installed the one from hce.halomaps.org and it worked so try that

[ZeroTheUltimateWarri]

Can you tell us the quick fix because i get an error that looks like this :

Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'

file_open('data\levels\bliss\m­odles\models\bliss.jms') error 0x00000003 'The system cannot find the path specified. '

thanks :)

[ricon689]

i cant save it as a .JMS it alwas says Don't know how to save to that file type

[edwardjlw]

When I try to "build" it in command prompt, it asks me what shader type I wish to use for floor (which is the name of a material from the scene) It gives me 9 options what do I do?

[Hellraiserjz]

when i linked the fram a couple times, I looked and the map box dissapeared completly where you check to see if you linked it.

and the "#144 disfigured triangles" error is a pain in tool as well as "unable to update" errors too.

Wasted 2 good maps I made... o well.

[mikenator55]

i give up

[Akanto10]

[Akanto10]

[lemaster301]

[danny99wc]

How do you like add a bridge for the splitting the map in half and how do you like another room for a sceret room? it doesnt show up when i create an other box in 3ds max for a secret room in sapien.

[edwardjlw]

Thank you for making these videos they're very very instructive and easy to follow I haven't been able to attepmt a map yet but I'll try soon again thanks alot for these!

[danny99wc]

[ddinoalexx]

hold control button

[GAYLORDFOCKER12345]

by the way plz dont think that im ''Really'' gay,my username was accually a TYPO and I RAN WITH IT

[lildudesvideos]

how do i highlight my selection on gmax like on 3ds max?

[blorchinator]

can you help me, im at the part where you have to connect the 2 boxes and not let frame touch any of them. i am using 3ds max 2010 and i dont see an option for what you had said when the things are not indented.

[makealotofcake]

wow thx!!

[GoldBoy7GG]

One question...is it possible to edit regular halo 1 maps like blood gulch?? plzzz tell me plz!

[Arightwizard]

Use Sapien and Guerilla and maybe Halo Hacker Tools V5 to edit exisiting maps. HEK+ to decompile them, Sapien and Guerilla come with the HEK. Halo Hacker Tools just edits it before you decompile it.

[GoldBoy7GG]

thx so much man!

[DILDjghost]

you can mod them but you cant change the actual map

[tylerwatt12]

thanks, lol when i was orbiting my eyes saw the shape really weird and i got confused, im fine nao
