I figured id tell some peope how to make an h2v map so hears a lil tut

all you have to do to make an h2v map is...

in max rename youer MAP models frame to b_levelroot and make shore you have a meterial named +sky in the meterial editer on the sky box then just export the .*** file

note the new h2ek *** exporter alows you to export even if you have erorrs once your mapmodel is in h2sapien you will find that h2 tool has resized the map model and h2sapien shows you degen triangles and open edjes and more from this point even with the erorrs you can package and play your map just dont forget the spawn point !

1 small thang i left out of this simple tut is texturing

i have my first map in h2v and its now resized almost perfect to bad thares nothing but 1 weard texture everware my next project will be the texturing...

most of this info is in the h2mapediter.cfm

OK look in the halo2 map editer directory then look in the folder that says exporter
