Can I import an object from Halo into G-Max? If so, how?

And, according to scorces, even if i do edit the object I can't play with it in the game right?

As of right now, I would say the answer is "no". We first have to wait until some sort of extracter is available then a converter. First step is SDK, then hopefully the extracter (OR if we are lucky...ALL AT ONCE).

Sorta... but what is the SDK? Is that made by Gmax or something? When do you think it will be avalible?

I have experiance in AutoCAD, using 3d, and very little with AutoCAD's Inventor porgram. So hopefully that will help me along.

tlove, yes it is possible to open the obj files into gmax.. and yes, sapien (the sdk) is based on gmax - just like unreal things.. anway it is possible to both export a mesh, bring it into gmax, export it back into a obj, and then put it in a map.. the way to out it back into the map is the hardest part.. making a program of you r ow n or editing sparkedit.. you can change the export into import, and put the level back together...

all of this is obviously not realeased to the public.. and im only saying it because its possible, not that i expect many people to do it.. but what im saying also is that i CAN do it

Current version of sparkedit supports exporting to .obj - Importing back will be supported later.

Ok, I've exported bloodgultch from Sparkedit as an .obj file. Now how do i open it in G Max?

Hivemind · Post by **Hivemind** » Sun Oct 26, 2003 12:45 pm

press import and click the file.. or you might have to get a obj import plug-in.. im using max, sry.. but there almost the same

TLove2487 · Post by **TLove2487** » Sun Oct 26, 2003 4:58 pm

Yeah... everytime i try import and click the file (.obj of bloodgultch) it says it doesn't recegnize it. Ugh.

Just try being patient and what until all the stuff comes out for extracting and importing and such. Probably will be a lot easier to do things then.

If you can find an plugin that allows you to import *.obj files, then it should work. But until then, you are better off being patient.

... yeah... your probably right. i just am so eager to learn.

by the way, when is Sapien due out? didn't they say very soon after the game was released?

You know, once it comes out, there will be several maps coming out within two days of it's first release date.

TLove2487 · Post by **TLove2487** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 1:49 pm

What do you mean? Like Gearbox is releasing new maps or people are makin mods to release? Or that people are just goin to mod like crazy the first day and release the second day?

Well, if there are many people with premad levels and all they have to do is texturize it, that means there should be many maps after the release date...understand my theory?

with small tweaking, it is possible to import maps from nearly any game, at least from those which use BSP

Slash0x · Post by **Slash0x** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 7:07 am

Yeah, like Govo said...also depends on how the maps are exported determines if it's posible and the file type. Renegade is GMax based, so obviously, that would be an easy conversion.
