You messed up somewhere in the PMI, I hate saying it, but just re-try it on a fresh map.

pmi'ing is kinda complicated... i dont do it at all. too much work just for that.

i tried to fallow the tutorial thats on this site but it was kinda vaig(sp) at some parts.

use the tutorial that comes with HMT, it will teach you how to no only PMI, but convert a map from SP -> multiplayer at the same time

There's a tutorial that comes with HMT? ...I should pay better attention...

i tried that tut and it didn't help. i think its because i dont need to make it a sp map. ijust cant get this. if someone could get just the pmi done and send it to me i think i can get the pelican drivable.

eh....

im not trying to flame or put you down or anything, but very few people will do something like this for you. part of life is learning from your mistakes and just trying again. if it doesnt work the first time, just try it again.

however, if you are lucky enought that someone out there is nice enough to do it for you, make sure you give them credit.

^_^
that is a whole section dedicated to pmi i suggests leets tutorial and there are a few video tutorials made by ajhayter

Use the tut that comes wth HMT, it teaches you some very usefull little tricks that aren't covered in alot of the user-submitted tuts

yes
but it is a litle advanced if udont know pmi and it doesnt realy explain some stuff ^_^
and leets tutorials is better then the one with hmt

eh, the hmt tutorial is crap. if you start out not knowing a thing about pmi, its extremely confusing. i know this from first hand experience.

thank you thank you thank you! ill go try again. (ill tell you all how it goes).

edit: still get the exeption. ill have to try again after i update my graphic driver.

eh, worked perfectly for me. I came to 3.5 after having used version 2 (or more accurately, having not used it in half a year) and had a wrait in BG haf an hour later using only the HMT tut. i just ignored the bits relating to doing a SP-> mp conversion

You can most certainly get the pelican drivable; it's very easy to do. However, someone may not send you a .map file. It must be a PPF.

no, it must be a PPF if it is a simple swap, since it is not possible to make a ppf for a rebuilt map, and since you must rebuild the map to add content (IE, the peli), you can upload them if they are in a .RAR archive.

u can use the .sppf on rebuilt maps

i can put a drivable pelican in any map, and to play as any biped with full control, strafing etc. and have any biped use any weapons, unlimited ammo on any guns, all vehicles in any map even those without vehicles. unlimited amount of any vehicles as well.... though u only want pelican email me

Ill make your map and email it 2 u or upload it and give link whatever u prefer.

I have no life so i love things to do. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
