Ok, i have made some maps in my halo CE life (which none of them truned up on the site -.-') and all of them have ended up having dirt as ground and green circles, and dont get me started on the cliffs! Also the water in other places isnt showing up, is it my graphics card, the way i made my map (oh yeah and the test map looked weird too o.o), or the PC? I also downloaded a map that was made by someone else and it looked weird, but not all the maps looked like this, all the rest looked fine! Please answer.

Post some screenshots

wish i could but i might not have the maps anymore, also the grass was dirt colored with big green circles, and the walls were colors like red and stuff, when i picked Danger Canyon walls, and made my own grass (it didnt look ANYTHING like what it turned out to be o.o)

u r uvw ing it right?

what?

How do you make your shaders? Perhaps it's a bitmap in the wrong slot

i just used a guide to make the map. I followed it perfectly, well... i couldn't find out how to d othe Free-view camrea thing in the autodesk 3D Max 8

uvw ing it makes the textures show liek you picked them...

i remember hearing uvw in the video but i cant remember

it's a modifier. apply a box uvw map to your map and see how that works

i bet your master chief helmet visor is black too? then it's your graphics card, cuz mine sucks too, but after you compile em and play em, they should be fine( water is still not visible). If it's not ok after that, your screwed and it's somthing else...

i night of forgotten to uvw it, the voice was a great britan voice so its a little hard to understand, plus 1 problem i had with 3Dmax is i couldn't view the model freely, i couldn't move the view like he could. I still dont know how to.

There's a little button in the lower right corner, Arc Rotate. Click and hold, and select. Sub Object pivots around selected faces, verts, etc.

Go into perspective mode by either going into the view box that says 'Perspective' or hit P, then hold alt and the middle button of your mouse. HaloGuru explained that all in the tutorial. :P
