Oh, that was you?

Hello
Is it possible to port these "if you still have them" to the new Unreal 4 engine?
I'm not asking you to do it, but I am curious to know if it would be easy for some to do it....

its literally rip, export as fbx, import to UE4, make shaders, apply textures,done

super easy to do. grab the bsps yourself and do it.

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6054

there is the tool to get the stock levels into max. its pretty simple from then on

IS THIS UNREAL ENGINE?

Does it run 60fps?

How many maxium players are allowed for this engine?

Come on port halo ce to UE4 just do MP no need to do SP yet.

again as i have said too many times to count converting a whole game to work in another engine like unreal is too much work. you have to start from scratch with pretty much no code at all. all UE4 is at first is a rendering engine. its not already built up like halo ce is.

The HEK is an EDITING KIT, not a GAME ENGINE. the difference here is that in the HEK you are Modifying a GAME that is already been coded and has the mechanics already in place. in a game engine you have to make all of this yourself, which is a huge undertaking that is not really worth the effort considering we have a fully set up editing kit instead. why not take the time to learn the HEK instead of incessantly begging for someone to port an entire game to another engine when you obviously do not understand how much work that entails

you would only need to learn 2 things
1. How to export in FBX (literally just point and click)
2. How to set up lightmaps for UE4 (about 30 seconds of work when you learn how to do it)

TUTORIAL TIME!

1. Open your .max file
2. Press the "0" button on your keyboard (not the numpad one), to bring up projection mapping
3. Click on the object you wish to get lightmapped
4. Hit "unwrap only" (as you should be already set to automatic unwrap)
5. Wait for automatic unwrapping to finish
6. Scroll down the sidebar and set the map channel to 2
7. Collapse the modifier and save
8. Export to Unreal
9. ?????
10. PROFIT!

Congrats, you've fully convinced me that you're a moron.

You weren't fully convinced? People like Caesar, reachfan, fossy, etc are not "trolls" (Seriously, you guys have a really loose definition of troll). They're genuinely moronic.

I've always have that 1% room in my heart to give people multiple chances.
But now even that 1% has been dissipated. So now I'm 100% genuinely sure.

Hay do you have trouble importing halo single player maps into UE4?


Some reason it doesn't work.

Hold up, why do you have a single object that has 3 different UVW Channels? That doesn't make sense. You can have your actual object have everything in the 1st Map Channel and it wouldn't matter if they overlapped or not. Show me what you did and explain why you did it, because that quite frankly makes no sense at all.

[qupte]
8. Export to Unreal
Did That. Then rebuilt lighting. The object turned black. I then add a bunch of lights. Still black.

Then I tryed 3 different video tutorials that have 3 different ways to do it and none of them worked. For what ever reason (It might be lightwave or bugs) its not working for me.

3DS Max doesn't do crazy stuff, its actually extremely simple when you get about 2-3 hours of practice (Really just managing the UI is like 20 minutes to learn the basics, but if you want to learn the more advanced stuff you're gonna spend a bit of time)



Seriously, show with pictures what you did. It'll make it so much easier to see where you messed up.

Hay I am not sure your going to do this but I will need to say it.

Can you please make a tutorial how to import a30 map fbx into UE4 because not all tutorials are not related to halo ce.

I did try to make it work..

You obviously have not seen him trying to be rude.

Sure, I can do that. Shouldn't be too difficult



Its honest. I did the exact same thing you tried and got it to work super easily the first time around. I'm not particularly amazing at this stuff so it only assumable that you did something wrong




Not many people have. It is a rare event that I actually show it :P
Glad you understand, though
