Thats likely due to your scenario not reffing the proper globals file, it doesnt see anything in it for the 3rd and 4th grenade types.

I'm already doing one. I can send weighted marine with anims in a few days.

First way:
1) Download Paint.NET
2) Open your texture
3) Copy your texture and paste it in a new layer
4) Delete from this layer the parts you don't want to recolor, using the rubber tool
5) Go to Regulation => Curves
6) Switch from luminosity to RGB and drop down a little the channels you want to soften; for example, if you want a green marine, drop down IN THIS LAST LAYER both the red channel and the blue channel
7) Adjust the final result with Regulation => Hue\Saturation, then compile

Second way:
1) Download Paint.NET
2) Open your texture
3) Adjust the multipurpose map with the curve function to have reflections, details and stuff
4) Create an alpha mask (there are some scripts to do this lurking around); areas you don't want to be recolored must be completely transparent
5) Compile the bitmaps, set up your color permutations in actor-variant tag or biped tag and you are done.

I don't quite remember the specifics of it, but I basically just animated another physics object in the scene to hit the Brute in the direction / area that the death animation needed.

I created a ragdoll physics simulation in 3ds max's Reactor system for the Brute animation rig, and then I simulated some animations with the character being hit by an impact force from various angles.

The only tracer you really need is the Sniper contrail, you can just use a plane with a gradient texture for the rest.

But no all those are under contrails, not gradients. Textures are greyscale and are colored with a radial gradient. this allows for cheap as heck muzzle flashes and more space for other effects

actually that's because by default max will read alpha channels weird. you can alleviate this by setting the diffuse color (The small grey square next to the material name) to a darker color. setting it to flat out black will usually fix it but in some cases it will not (Halo reach frigate is the only instance I can immediately think of that does not)

oh I know whats going on there. Adjutant puts the color change slots in if you have it selected and oftentimes it tends to break the colors because its not yet perfect. I usually redo the materials a bit myself but that's a big factor.

as another thing, go to customize, preferences, gamma and LUT, and then change your gamma. set it to Gamma at 1.2, and then have input and output gamma at 1. It'll make your materials look much nicer and it'll remove of the mirror line.

1- what render settings are u using
2- are there any lights set up
3- are the materials set up properly
5- do u have it set in the material editor on all textures alpha source set to none

make shore all of your settings are set to what i said, mainly 3 and 5

As has been said many a time, this may or may not come in the future. At the moment, no. They won't work "out of the box", but you can re-rig them to CE bones. It won't look quite right though. Your best bet is to make the animations yourself.

No marines in TSC:E, just ODST. Marines will be only in SPV3 POA, Halo, AOTCR for part 1.
