And, according to scorces, even if i do edit the object I can't play with it in the game right?

As of right now, I would say the answer is "no". We first have to wait until some sort of extracter is available then a converter. First step is SDK, then hopefully the extracter (OR if we are lucky...ALL AT ONCE).

Understand Love?

Sorta... but what is the SDK? Is that made by Gmax or something? When do you think it will be avalible?

I have experiance in AutoCAD, using 3d, and very little with AutoCAD's Inventor porgram. So hopefully that will help me along.

The "love" in TLove.... my real name is Tim Lovelace. Get it? Just a nickname.

tlove, yes it is possible to open the obj files into gmax.. and yes, sapien (the sdk) is based on gmax - just like unreal things.. anway it is possible to both export a mesh, bring it into gmax, export it back into a obj, and then put it in a map.. the way to out it back into the map is the hardest part.. making a program of you r ow n or editing sparkedit.. you can change the export into import, and put the level back together...

all of this is obviously not realeased to the public.. and im only saying it because its possible, not that i expect many people to do it.. but what im saying also is that i CAN do it

Current version of sparkedit supports exporting to .obj - Importing back will be supported later.

thats what i thought, im just saying that it is possible, the time and work for a normal person? not very possible for them... no offense or nothin, just takes time.. and im not makin a progrm to do it, since sparkedit wil be able 2

Ok, I've exported bloodgultch from Sparkedit as an .obj file. Now how do i open it in G Max?

press import and click the file.. or you might have to get a obj import plug-in.. im using max, sry.. but there almost the same

Yeah... everytime i try import and click the file (.obj of bloodgultch) it says it doesn't recegnize it. Ugh.

Just try being patient and what until all the stuff comes out for extracting and importing and such. Probably will be a lot easier to do things then.

If you can find an plugin that allows you to import *.obj files, then it should work. But until then, you are better off being patient.

... yeah... your probably right. i just am so eager to learn.

by the way, when is Sapien due out? didn't they say very soon after the game was released?

Yeah, but that was a rumor...somewhere on this forum, it says mid-november I think.

You know, once it comes out, there will be several maps coming out within two days of it's first release date.

What do you mean? Like Gearbox is releasing new maps or people are makin mods to release? Or that people are just goin to mod like crazy the first day and release the second day?

Well, if there are many people with premad levels and all they have to do is texturize it, that means there should be many maps after the release date...understand my theory?

this is prolly a dumb ?, but could u import maps from other games and make them into halo form? i dunno y im askin this, i dont even play HPC lol

maby, when SDK comes out andif the file format can be changed

with small tweaking, it is possible to import maps from nearly any game, at least from those which use BSP

Yeah, like Govo said...also depends on how the maps are exported determines if it's posible and the file type. Renegade is GMax based, so obviously, that would be an easy conversion.
