http://www.2shared.com/file/4292452/a1062d70/The_Little_War.html

No virus or something,
btw there could be some things with the Bitmaps,
becuase i just reinstalled it, maybe it whas becuase of that or something

anyway pls help me!

What ever site that is, won't allow me to download. Use rapid share or some other site, export the file from max as an .OBJ that way it can be opened in other version of max.

Ok, here it is with .obj...

BTw i followd armoman92 Toturial (dont know if it matters but ok)

Link....
Uploading...
Getting Link...

ok :D

http://rapidshare.com/files/164408835/The_Little_Valley.obj.html

and dont download it for fun!

i hope this wil help :D

Try this,
http://rapidshare.com/files/164450165/little_valley_fixed.obj.html

I modified the cliffs completely, making it easier to look at and hopefully cleaned up any errors with the BSP.

thanks, but the site dont let me download i get a huge page full with script code and that all

btw what does BSP means? something with script code?

could you set it on again pls?

What browser you using the link opens fine for me. BSP is the Binary Spatial Partitioning (your level).

Opera
now you comment that ill try Explora...
wiieee works

all teh material are missing or something
is that normal?

ow and btw i need to ''import'' the .obj file right?

ok thanks ill check it out now :D:D
Edited by Garanas on Nov 17, 2008 at 03:13 AM

Yes you need to import, you may need to flip some normals and reapply materials.

ok thank you :D

but could you tell em what i did wrong?

EDit: i keep getting this warning :
no get function for undifined

that means that ???

I'm not sure, I would say take the model I sent delete the original b_levelroot and make a new one, relink it then export again. Also make sure all your shaders names are correct and that you have the +sky.

the + sky needs to be Material 1?

a Material needs to be called like this :

f_im panel_e

right?

What ever you set the sky to in the multi/sub material must have the +sky name it it. And the naming convention for the forerunner mats;

f = forerunner
i = industrial
m = metals

"f_im" is referencing the file you took the shader from.

then put a space and paste the shader name. Don't worry to much about directories right now, just make sure your using shaders from the metals and the f_im will work fine.

ok now i get a new warning :D

now i get this :
Runtime Error: Mesh Operation on non-mesh: editiable Poly

I quess i need to set it on Mesh?

last time that worked

ok now i get this :

3ds Max version 10.0 detected.

What version of max are you working in and what exporter are you using?

well,
i used to use version 9
but then i rea all that did;t work out
so i ''downloaded'' a version (i know you may not talk about such things)
and the title sayd it whas version 8 but ti is 10 O.o
and there isn't even a 10 version XD
and i just tryed it all
compiled it
started Sapien
and the file is still currupted :(

I think it has to do with the version of max your working with, I'm pretty sure there's a script for exporting from max 9 it just doesn't support instanced geometry which you don't even need to worry about.

Take the file into 9 and try this script;
http://h2v.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=2162

Just open the max script window paste the script and press enter should work.

ok now i done it all with version 9, (trial)

and now i get this :

3ds Max version 9.0 detected.
Exporting to D:\Map Editor\data\scenarios\multi\The Little Valley\Structure\The_Little_Valley23.ASS

Object 1: "b_levelroot"

Object 2: "obj_box"

Unique Vertices: 5112
Number of Faces: 1704

Number of Instances: 2

No warning :D
so now i should compile it right?

Haha yes!

still corrpted lol >.<

could you pls make Materials and that all
(just something)
and make it .ass and check it out?
so that i could follow the toturial again?
Edited by Garanas on Nov 17, 2008 at 04:01 AM

I have no idea, maybe it's just the file, remake the map in 9 and try exporting. I honestly couldn't tell you want was wrong but it's not like this hasn't happened to me. Make a new file and try that if it doesn't work then reinstall the editor. Sorry I can't be more of an assistance.

Ok did't worked out >.<
i set the map in a link again,
with .max and .obj in a ZIP
i hope you can look at it again

It says there's no file chosen.

how do you mean?
i dont see that

Don't worry about it I may see what is wrong now. After review the file on my labtop (which I have H2V on) I noticed that your reference sphere was named "B_Levelrroot" which is wrong for two reasons. Don't use any capitals and there are two "Rs" Copy and paste this as the name;

b_levelroot

That is how it should look no capitals! Also it appeared that the BSP was not linked to the reference sphere. With out that link the scenario file cannot be created. Thus when you try to open the file, it says it's corrupt, because technically the file is just a name with nothing in it.

ok, it works now :D
sry for late respawn :(
but it works now ;)
thanks!

Mind sharing what was wrong? And let's see some pics!!

well, it whas the Levelroot, but i allready ''deleted'' the map (not on purpose)
whas an accident :P
anyway
here's my second!

btw, my third map gets an error when i try to compile it,
maybe you can look at that to? :)
