Macroscripts are like maxscripts, but you can configure them into your UI, in the file menu, for example, like this:

I fixed up Bluestreak to be more user friendly and forgiving. It tells you about materials and material ids missing, and explains a little better about "actors". I think I fixed all the "unknown property <name> in undefined" bugs, like when exporting a material without a bitmap in diffuse, but I'm not sure, hence the request for beta testers.
Gmax users, when exporting with Bluestreak or HAX, a dialog appears when finished, and GrabListener will be in the dialog. Right-click grablistener, select open. Use it to save your export, then click cancel
So, please, try it/them out and post about it here
http://files.filefront.com/BabooPackeetzip/;9840737;/fileinfo.html
contains a folder called Gmax, although they will work for 3ds too
place the contents of "gmax" in your gmax or 3ds program's folder, and (re)start max
configure your UI. They will be in the "Halo" catagory of the Customize User Interface dialog
drag and drop from left to right. I suggest adding them to menus->files

Finally. Ive never really learned how to do this so i would have done it but thank you. NO more noobs crying about errors. This looks like a well constructred scrip also. Good job.

i need help with the HAX i cant seem to get it to work. i tryed changing in the HAX.mcr and everything but it still says...did you put grablistener in you gmax folder(or something like that) and i dont know how to fix it. this is what i canged in the scipt for it:

click grablistener.exe, select 'Open'" filename:"D:\halo stuff\making and modding maps\gmax\\*.exe"

is that all right

p.s. dont make fun of my folders... i keep my stuff organised

good work this will help people out. I always thought bluestreak needed to be more user friendly

If you're not using Gmax, you don't need to worry about it, (maybe it needs version check fixing?)
Maybe this video will explain better about the grablistener dialog thing:

Go to the Customize menu and select Customize User Interface
Click the Menus tab and expand +File
Select the Catagory: Halo
Drag items from the Action list into File

That should do it. If not, is there no Halo catagory in the customize ui thing, or are the ui changes not stored?
