ok....woth the perfect model injection tutorial i would be able to add vehicles and scenary from 1 map to onother???
By da way I am a first timer but not a noob...just need to know what to do & what direction 2 go.
If thats not what PMI if for then can someone plz tell me how i can do it...i searched 4 hours and didnt find nothin besides PMI.

I appreciate any answer u can give.

pmi is for adding things such as scenary or vehicles that were not meant to be in that map... These scenary or vehicles come from single player maps. When you try to add things from single player maps to multiplayer maps the models get screwed up and everything looks like crap. So perfect model injection(pmi) fixes this problem and allows you to inject single player things into multiplayer things. WAalaaaa

you should note that it is at best tedious, tricky, and hard to add things to a different SP map.

PMI is what you want.

theres a sticky wiv instructions for Multiplayer AI above somewhere.
Use this on for Single Player --> Multiplayer and Multiplayer --> Multiplayer


if you want to do it on Single player, go here: http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=5930

Thank ya very much.
what i did...
i got AotCR---->Sidewinder
Pelican & Wraith
I got all those 3 into sidwinder and it all worked very well just 1 thing that i tried doing, i saw others do it and had no luck finding a tut. What i cant do is add a device, the 1 from SP "Halo" the hologram bridge (i seen some 1 put devices that are not scnenary from a SP to a MP map and made it scenary)
any 1 kno where i might find the tut for this or mind tellin me (and yes i did searched for it as u can see so far what i got done, might post it up here 4 download)

PS. Its amazing what u can do by following the tuts (but not all are detailed or miising details)

they are very detailed... For a device, i would just follow the pmi tutorial and get the hologram into the mp map. Once that is done, open up the map and change the tags which are at the top to make it a scenary tag... If you dont know how to do that, look around some more and youll learn.. Next, just go into Spark edit and add tag into scenario. Click scenary and add the hologram, if that doesnt work then i dont know what to do...

that is exactly what i did but it minimizes and says gatherint exception data, some thing like that....and still no luck finding a tut on that.

OK, for a divice, i think this tut may work, not entirely sure though

Ummm... yeah i think theres something wrong with my halo not da map because i went back and tried out the map with the pelican and i got the same error???????? so im gonna have 2 go bak and retry the new vehicles then get the device in.
by da way i afound that tut yesterday thats how i found out that its not the map, its the game.

Ill let u know the results.

Are you messing with a already modded map or a map that you downloaded, sometimes that can cause problems...

well this map i completely modding on my own nothing is downloaded... I got AotCR, Pelican, Wraith into sidewinder.....but now i figured out that everytime i put wraith in it even tho i did it all perfect it messes it up...so i guess im gonna have 2 do the device thing again without having the wraith.

PS can i just swap thee scenary offset with the Machinary device?? instead of doing the xml renaming.

I have no idea what wrong now no matter what mod i make i get an deseption error????????????? i cant even add the pelican and wraith which i had before but deleted cuz i thought i was doing da wrong process

I have only found 2 working tuts about model injection in my life time that are actually readable by the N00B

look men im not a noob is just that now no longer my mods will work.
This is what i did....

*open b40 recrusivley saved meta of pelican, extracted CVS and raw model
*Sidewinder...extracted batch,
*extracted the BSP/Model Section
*DeCrapped it by selecting pelican.vehi.mod2.meta and da BSP from sidewinder
*Put all meta in Build folder then put all pelican in build folder (asked if i want 2 replace i selected yes)
*copied sbsp.meta and replaced it in levels/test/sidewinder
*rebuilded it in HMT and added pelican.vehi.meta
*selcted new vertices and indices and selected yes in the use "new offset" thing.

Thats correct isnt it? and ive done it before but stoped workin when i downloaded a new map and applied an ppf but i restored all my original map includin bitmap but still doesnt work.

I tried re installing .net frame work and HMT but no luck.
Well also now i get something about missing column or row 6 or 5 (somethin similiar 2 that) while openin it up for da 1st time after booting my pc (every time i boot it i get the column thing when i 1st open HMT, dont get that error until i reboot my pc again) i never got that at first tho when i first installed .net...i have no idea but might that have anything 2 do with it????????

Some 1 plz plz help me, im seriously gettin pissed and knowing im doing everything correct

Add the .mod2.meta when rebuilding aswell, and it should work.

yes i did add the mod2.meta also tried it that way......but no luck.....ok when im done with the PMI i do get the PMI is just that everytime i play it i get exception error...

i have all my project organized i have the folder "pelican(1)" thats where im doing all my PMI and i got a folder named "Ceck Points" incase if i mess up i can go bak 1 step and in "Check Points" i have "Pelican (1)" and in there i have 2 folders "PMI" & "Edit" in PMI i put the map after finishing the pelican PMI and in edit i paste a copy of the rebuild and edit it with spark edit & HMT..

So I have no idea whats wrong I still think its cause of the row or column thing but i have no idea on what to do.

I also tried makin pelican into (2) and just do the wraith first instead but no matter what i get an exception error

Hope im giving enough details
