Building Blocks

Post by Who_Cares »

I'm not totally sure if this is the right area to post this, and if it is not, in advance, I am sorry.

Anyways, i've seen many mods lately using what are being called "Building Blocks" in Halo mods. I am wondering how I can add these to my own mod.

I downloaded GMax, thinking that maybe that's where I do it, but if so, I can't find any tutorials on doing it. I was wondering what exporters and importers i'd need for GMax.

If this is not something done in GMax, where can I get an application that will allow me to place these into my Halo maps?

They are in a ppf file, and you use a patching program to patch the .map file with the .ppf file and load the patched .map back onto your xbox, assuming you have one. Not in Gmax use HHHT (helpful halo hacking tool) that I believe you can find on this website to apply the ppf's to your map files. Good luck.

I haven't tried it yet but [-MXB-]xmaniac did port the blocks to SW. He modeled the small snow rock into a block. should be able to manipulate that in sparkedit all you want now.
The file was called smallrockbuildingblock.rar, search for it, i'm sure you'll find it.

I'm look'n for a port of the block(s) to Boarding Action. May try my hand at building one, but no promises. If you want some serious real estate to work with check out boarding action with the flying ghosts,, the board is immense.
