so i have a character riged in 3ds max 8 but when i import it into halo it dues not work so i try the JMS Weight Injector thing and when i put the model back in guerilla i get an error


then i try BlueStreak
and i get this error in cmd

what do i do
and also i have fingers and toes on the biped is that the problem.
if so how do i get rid of them without deleting the biped.

what do you mean set ids right?

Export with blue streak.

all ready did if you can read the first post.
the animations work and every thing works fine except putting it in game.

With blitzkreig, you can setup materials anyway you choose. With Bluestreak, you are required to use multi-materials. Open 3dmax, and open the material editor. Click the button that says standard, pick "multi/sub-object", create every material inside that multi-material, and apply that to your model. The IDs next to each of these mutli-materials are how you assign them to your model. Over in the right side, in your editable mesh screen, you can set IDs to selected faces. Use this to apply correct materials.

OK now i get cant create object in sapien but the model works as a scenery tho what do i do there.

Does the node checksum match everywhere? Open the model_animations, scroll to the bottom, copy the checksum and paste it in the gbxmodel in its checksum slot (top). Then hope the nodes match.

ok now it pops up but now it gets disformed how do i fix that.

rig your model better and/or use correct node locations.

How did you get your bone set for rigging? did you import an existing gbxmodel and take that set of bones?

no i use the bones built in 3ds max 8 but the animations work grate in 3ds max

If you're using custom bones, you need custom animations.

how do i use the imported bones then every time i export i get a no actor error

imported bones re-export correctly with bluestreak. Bluestreak only cares about the name, unlike blitzkreig (which cares about them having the biped modifier). Treat imported bones the same as ones made in max, and just export with bluestreak.

now when i use this there are permanent envelopes how do i get rid of them

lol

So, what exactly is it that you can't get rid of? on the side panel, if you assign weights, it effects all other bones on that vertice, so you can use that to get rid of wrong bones, etc. And there is also a maximum bone limit, and one to remove 0 weighted things (just clears up the weight table, and im sure bluestreak would prefer this. I just automatically do it anyways lol) Set the max bone limit to 2, it should defaultly be 3 (H1 accepts 2 nodes, H2 accepts 4 nodes per vert)

so i spent an hour re riging my model and i get an error

sounds like you have vertices weighted to more than 2 nodes. (there was reasons I mentioned setting the max bone count)

i did set the limit to 2

so any ideas

Was that the popup error, or the highlighted text in the textbox? (post both) Also, did you try the remove zero weight over on the right side?

the textbox =
