Make sure all of the marine udlg sounds - sound\dialog\combat\masterchief.

Right click and Display > Idents again.
Look for each of these offsets and change them to what I have.

i did this and everything worked perfectly except he had a corrupted bitmap

Good to hear it worked but the corrupted bitmap is a problem elsewhere. Not sure why you would get that. Just try again I suppose.

Nice tutorial Kibito.

nicely laid out

My thanks boys.

Whenever I rebuild the map, it breaks idents. Any ideas on why?

Please don't bump old threads. It could be your version of Entity and or your plugins.

It shouldn't matter if It is an old thread, if I don't understand why I am having problems. Do you expect me to make a new thread instead of just using an existing one? I'm sorry that I didn't look at the date, but it still shouldn't matter.....

I am using the Entity from the UMP v5 by keasla. There isn't another rebuild option is there?

Use this Entity: http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=58976
Along with these completed plugins: http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=74657

That should fix it.
