Modeling New Vehicles

EasyB · Post by **EasyB** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 1:03 pm

hi, i'm new to this forum and i'm just wondering something...
i've been modeling with 3ds max for over a year now, mostly for the game midtown madness 2, but that game is dying.
Now, is there a way to make vehicles for Halo, export them and play with them in the game itself...
Sorry if this allready has been asked, but i don't feel like going through 200 topics...

and if it's possible what file format does the vehicle have to be in to make it work. and do i need plugins etc.

thnx in advance

u cant make new vehcles but u can change the vertices around on the modesl already there as long as you dont add or delete any. when the hel (hale editing kit) is realesed it will be possable.

unfortunatly no like lotr said, if u get halo map tools u can save the models them selves and just pull verticies around thats it, but again unfortunatly i havnt seen anyone use max succussfully on injecting back into halo always gives some kind of error, to get the models in u have to get a obj file importer, and to exporter if u want to export them

well i could try to work on just moving the vertices....maybe the file error is becuz some parts were named wrong or the import into 3dsm doesnt import certain things, so you get errors...
i'll look into it,
but u can make custom maps, right ?

hmmm...isn't there a way around it so you don't have to use the HEK....
i mean, if those programmers can do it, there must be a way around it...
hmm...

the issue is what map to decide to replace the new map...
and the programmers could do it (im guessing) only because they kinda
DESIGNED the game!!!??? they dont need a "halo EDITING kit' if there building the game... and maybe they hade there own HEK that was meant for that kinda stuff...
