I don't have much time.so I got to thinking it would be good to update the old halo 1 maps and add new things not just add new tags and textures

and gmax is 3dmax 4 and no good

so can you give info to lets say how to add NEW ROOMS to the maps?

I distinctly remember someone posting about why you shouldn't even bother to use Gmax, it's a pity you didn't listen to them earlier.

As for adding new rooms to maps.

1. Open up aether, convert the map you want to edit into an OBJ.

2. Open up said obj map in 3dsmax, add what ever you want and export.

Compile > Fix errors > Add lightmaps e.t.c

Jhonlex is your uncle.

I'm not going to go in depth in how to add a new room to a map because there are plenty of tutorials covering the topic.

What your require most, is common sense.

Here is one example of what I think you want to achieve.

This is my snow edit version of H2 battle creek. (conceived for my clan.)

you would like me to test your map y? ..and if I had the time to look for tutorials I would had done so
........... so can someone give me some links to some tutorials

No time for tutorials? No time for mapping.

Not exactly. i rarely watched tutorials and i learned myself the engine.

Way to miss the point. I suggest re-reading a few times.

do you even have a job or are you just a kid

and MEGASEAN2812 I just needed a bit of info as to how 3d max 2010 would for halo ce
and what I would need if something did not work

No, if I wanted my map tested I would have given it to jesselex2.

I gave a link, to show that what I said is possible and that I'm not just blowing words out of my ass like some people do.

Just watch this tutorial, he explains some begginer steps.

Wait...what???...What map are you talking about?

Use 3ds max 8. I can PM you for the link.

that's ok 3d max 2010 is better then 3d max 8
