Thanks! It was actually going to be HEK Animation Exporter as first, but I was just staring at the monitor one time when I was trying to figure out how to setup the Child/ sibling relations ad I read it out of the corner of my eye as Hek Animation eXporter... Then I changed it to Halo for some reason...
Besides, names like that get people's attention XD.

I actually just found a big bug in the script that happens with larger hierarchies, like FP animations, and Bipeds ( I tested with smaller amounts of nodes). This bug causes the nodes to "explode"... I have located the problem, and I'm working on it right now, It'll be back up soon. Sorry for the delay

OK I fixed all of the *known* bugs... And it should work for bipeds AND FP animations, too.

this really really helps (now i just need to figure out how to remove the blackened backfacing faces in max 9 for lv design)
thanks to you i can finally throw out that copy of max 8 i have.

Why would you "throw" out a copy of 3ds max 8? That's like throwing 4 grand out the window. Sure it's not needed since you have 9, but why throw it away? (Though I doubt you did buy Max 8 and 9).

"the Scenery\Test\test animation does not match scenery\test\test gbxmodel.
