yes ive tried again, and I think I have the wrong programs since gmax saves in gmax, and im also using photoshop pro 8(yes that old program) I tried using ghosts tutorial, and after scavenging on the stuff that is still available, I still cant manage to make it right, even after following all the steps. any suggestions? or tutorials? or other max programs or shop programs? anything that actually works? I cant get past the start of tool once I execute a tool command

edit: I got further slightly but then I got a cmd saying "couldn't read \toolbeta.map" the files start with a directory, and that it failed to create new tag, when there is a tag,

and I have guerilla saying it "couldn't read \guerillabeta.map" and and also that it couldn't open the tag I made. I matched the tutorial exactly off of ghost tuts

so basically, there is a bitmap, just isn't readable, and I tried to remake it like 10 times or so

ignore the "couldn't read xxxxxxxbeta.map" error. Try to open everything as administrator and paste the entire error here.


got it solved but now I'm screwed on the little first try project since gmax doesn't support what I need, and I have no way to convert .gmax to .max
