Ok I now Ive posted below asking for certain tiff files and that helped but for some reason they come out all ghetto looking when I put them on to the POA. So I was wondering if anybody has a skinned POA that I could have. Thanks.

Open a10.map in the HEK+. Extract the SBSP tag. Open it in jahrain's BSP converter. Convert the mesh. Enjoy.

Ok dude I apoligize but I thanked you before I tried it. So can you tell me where Im supposed to be able to get the SBSP. I used hmt to extract the sbsp but for some reason the bsp converter cant find it on my desktop.

Last time I checked, HEK+ doesn't include the BSPs
You can get it from TheGhost's Tag Set (that's where I got all my BSPs)

Please delete that program from your computer. Now. It's outdated, and all Halo PC editing tools are worthless when working with CE maps. You can't make anything worthwhile with PC editing tools.

Get the Halo Editing Kit Plus.

When you open the map in the HEK+, navigate to levels\a10 and extract all of the scenario_structure_bsp tags.

Really? I extracted a few BSPs and messed with them in Max, so the HEK+ must support SBSP tags.

Ok after I do this.[/quote]When you open the map in the HEK+, navigate to levels\a10 and extract all of the scenario_structure_bsp tags.

Then what do I do.

You convert the tag with Jahrain's BSP converter, also at halomaps.org. You will need the .NET Framework v2.0 to use the BSP converter. Get it at msdn.microsoft.com. Also, the batch bitmap extractor seems to be a little dodgy. I'd recommend extracting the bitmaps manually by screenshotting the texture in Guerilla.

The converted mesh will have all of the correct UVW mapping coordinates. You just have to apply the materials. And, within the download, there's a little material fixing MAXScript to do the task for you.

Yeah, bitmap extraction is dodgy with some people, dunno why though. Anyway, rather than having to screenshot the bitmap, I redid the bitmap extractor so that it has batch extraction (and should extract anything except p-8 bump without breaking *touch wood*). It is a beta so PM me if you have errors please:

So that should save you alot of time.

With the material fixing max script, make sure the imported bsp model doesnt have "obj" at the start of the name or it'll hate you for eternity

This url takes you to a max POA but you have to do the skinning, surly you can extract the skin off the level, convert the .dds to a bitmap and apply as a skin

Why dont you just open a10 in sparkedit and extract mesh to obj. Thats what I do.

EDIT: (sorry if this was mentioned already, I didn't read the whole post).

Try reading... Notice how he said "all Halo PC editing tools are worthless when working with CE maps."

Also, this topic should be dead by now...
