.Never Forget to backup Files!!!
1.Making a base in 3ds max
This is a common problem:
The most of you just delete the faces around the base and create them again and attach the base and detach and blablabla and in tool.exe you get open edge errors.
Then you try to add the base as a sceney The problems are you can't place anyhing on a base or in the base and it look unprofessional cause you won't get it as inline as in 3ds max.
My method is simple and proffesional:
Create your base.Create your map.Merge the base in and place it where you want to have it.Then use the z thingy on the bottom.Let me say if you have a surface wich is 5000 Z high.Set the base so that the base it 5001 Z high.Like this:
______
/ \
/ \
/ \
/-------------\(base)5001 Z high
--------------------(ground)5000 Z high
so that the base is levitating.Now select the map and click attach and attach the base.It looks realistic in Halo and you can't go under it with nothing even a granade can't cause the granade has a diameter of 3.
2.Making scenery so that you can go through
I discovered this accidentelly.When you make your sceney don't make a collision for it and you can go through it.
Collision-Geometry Faq:
Collision-geometry is invisable.For weapons you don't need Collision-geometry.For vechiles you need the collision and for scenery it depends if you want to make it gotrhough(like grass) or don't (like a stone)
3.How to make granades
Make a granade like a weapon.After converting everything go to tags\globals and open(and backup) the globals.globals file.This is the most funny tag you can thing of.You can make masterchief walk faster and etc. Scroll down to granades.You can't add new granades(korman00 is working on it i think) you have too take the human or covenant granade.Change everything to your model and voila.You can let MC carry more granades and etc.
This all i can think of now.
