Halo Maps Forum

DixFix is a rewrite of a Maxscript I stole that helps make materials better viewable in 3DS max's viewport. Partial credit goes to some guy out there on the internet who's name and script I don't remember nor care to find.

This one is geared towards Halo CE, specifically fixing imported models from various ripping tools. It will disable any type of transparency from alpha, opacity or opacity maps, it sets all materials to show the diffuse map in the viewport and sets the specular level to 0.

These are all things that Adjutant or other apps do on import, and it can often mean lots of tedious clicking to readjust. Feel free to use this instead.

OR, copy/paste the below into NotePad and save it as a .ms file wherever your 3DS max scripts are stored.
