by ACDCx420

Now in this Tutorail I will show yall how to add 2 cars to Turf only using Entity. ( The cars are the added have to be added, I will show
you in this Tutorial how to)

Whats needed:
  • Entity
  • a Halo 2 map
  • about 20 minutes of time
Step 1: Ok yall the first is to pick the map that you are going to use and to open it in Entity.

Step 2: At the top of the window click windows then hit cascade.

Step 3: Now since we wanna add a car, we have to add them to the map! So open up Triplicate in Entity.

Step 4: Now in Triplicate go the [bloc] tag in Entity, now find [objects\vehicles\civilian\uberchasis\uberchasis] Once you have found that look at the right side of the window and click recursive and parsed.Then Click save, and save in a folder of its own.

Step 5: Now close triplicate and go to turf, now once again click recursive and parsed, except this time click build, and open up the info file, that is located in the folder where you saved the uberchasis.

Then wait for Entity to say done.

Step 6: Now go to the [itmc] tag in Entity and duplicate the Plasma rifle.

Step 7: Now go back to the [itmc] tag and find the duplicated plasma rifle. Now look in the window on the right and click items permutations,then right click it and go to Display->Idents.

Step 8: Now click items, then right click it and go to swap, then change it from [weap] to [bloc].
Also change it from [objects\weapons\rifle\plasma_rifle\plasma_rifle] to [objects\vehicles\civilian\uberchassis\uberchassis].

then hit swap ident.

Step 9: Now go to the [scnr] tag in Entity and find Netgame Equipment.
Image
Now right click it and go to Clone Chunk

Now type in two(2), since for this we are adding two cars to the map!

Then hit add chunks to tag.

Step10: Now go to the [scnr] tag again except this time go to the window on the right and right click on Netgame Equipment and go to Display->Idents.
Then scroll down to the bottom of the collections and you should see these.

Highlight these two and right click them and click swap. Change them to [multiplayer\single_weapons\plasma_rifle (1)]. like below:

Step11: Now go to the [sbsp] tag in Entity and click Tools in the top right part of Entity and go to Raw Editor.

Step12: Okay, now here are the controls for the BSP Viewer if you dont know:

Code: Select all

	W=Forward 
	S=Back 
	A=Left 
	D=Right 
	X=Up 
	Z=Down 
	Hold Right mouse button to view around 

	-Item Buttons 

	Left Click=Select/Unselects Item 
	Up Arrow=Item Moves Forward 
	Down Arrow=Item Moves Backwards 
	Left Arrow=Item Moves Left 
	Right Arrow=Item Moves Right 
	PG UP=Item Rises 
	PG Down=Item Lowers 
	Left Click(hold) + shift + move mouse=Tilts Item North/South 
	Left Click(hold) + ctrl + move mouse=Tilts Item Rotates Object 
	Left Click(hold) + alt + move mouse=Tilts Item East/West 

	Increase camera speed + (plus sign) 
	Decrease camera speed - (minus sign) 

	-Hold control, shift, or alt and use the left mouse button will rotate selected object. 
	-Select more then one object at a time try click the box not the object.

Okay now that you know the controls go to where the plasma rifle spawns by the scareb.And then Click Visible Spawns-> Collections. Now you should see the car(One is hidden under the other, so you only see one until you move the car), click on it and move it where you want with the controls above.Then hit File then save changes!!

Step13: Now Close Entity and resign the map using a resigner,and FTP it back to your xbox, and enjoy your new scenery. This will be scenery as these are not driveable cars.
