OK so i made a map with proper uvw's, portals, and made sure there was nothing wrong with the map.
But when I try to convert the .ass file into a .scenario file using h2tool, the file is not created and I get this weird error.




Can anyone help me out? Thx.

and test every time
dont make to big steps
other wise you dont know what you did wrong
i can only give you this.

im sorry

Your not doing some thing that is required for the map to be made, in this case I'm guess you never linked your BSP to the b_levelroot.

Portals are used by Halo 2 to create separate zones within a single level. This allows the game engine to be more efficient in rendering assets as well as allowing unique background sounds and sound environments in different areas.

Once a level reaches a certain size, it will require portals due to the amount of data included in the levels tag files. Portal planes are placed in your 3D editor and must have the +portal material applied to the faces to be exported properly.

I have already had this error, when your map has too many face

so a Portal must be inside?!
is that all?!
awww!!
that i did't knew that more early lol

The gate(portal) has to cross your map +portal in material editor

ok so i fixed the error with the portals. :D
but now the definition is #1 instead of #4. what does this mean?

Definition 0 is with the linkup with teh LEvelroot and the LEvel

Definition 1 could be the sky
do you have a sky?

yes i have a +sky material, but it is applied to only 1 polygon at the very top of the map. does it have to actually be applied to a box shape to work?

Post pics of the map, this will really help in seeing what's up. Also your positive the bsp is linked properly and that the root and sky mat are named properly?

Here's the outside of the level, portals, b_levelroot, and map are shown. All you see right now is outside of the map.



Here is proof of linkage to b_levelroot. Portals are the yellow and black planes.



This is what the map itself looks like.



This shows the one face with +sky applied to it.

Wait a Second, did you add any Materials?
when i look at it it all looks ''Brown''
like nothing got added
maybe thats the error you have now
try to add some Materials
and if you allready had those
im sry then

(add it to all Faces)

yes, there are materials applied to all faces. its just hard to see them b/c of crappy in-max lighting

Damn,

I had the same error today
And i really dont know what is wrong
But my map looked totally different then yours
Maybe someone could ask bungie to tell us what the problem is


I allready tryed vut i couldnt find the link to a help support for the halo map editor

Anyway
Nice map i really like th idea.

sometimes many portals are really needed
