ok, now i tried scaling the stock down, and moving it inside the rest of the gun, it still wont work, does this count as removing verticies?

Uhh, did you make or delete vertices or not? Answer that and then we can help you.

what program did you use to make the model?

Time 2 Die · Post by **Time 2 Die** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 11:17 am

i simply extracted the model (warthog hull in my case) using HMT. Then opened 3DS Max 6 and using an 'obj2max.dle' plugin i was able to import the hull. I did some moving around of vertices but didnt delete or create a single one. I then extracted it using a 'max2obj.dle' plugin. I tried putting it back into HMT but it came up with the error like HaloFreak had. Hopefully that answers both your questions.

all i did was move some things around, i didnt delete or create or even seperate any vertices

well you can olny use milkshape cause the max series including gmax adds some verticies that noone knows how to remove...

Time 2 Die · Post by **Time 2 Die** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 4:32 am

do you no of another program that'll allow me to do the same thing because my 30 day trial of Milkshape 3d has run out and im not allowed to pay to register.

ok, i fiiinaaalyyyy got my dad to pay up so now i hav milksape 3d. AND IT WORKS!!! so cool. My next annoyin question is how would i be able to make a new gun because obviously its unlikely that i will get the right amount of vertives again. Do i have to rebuild the level or something?

the only way to get a full custom gun into Halo is through haloCE

Time 2 Die · Post by **Time 2 Die** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 8:23 am

ok, accept your point. However, you may remember ages ago someone created the pelican mod for danger island (think thats its name). That was able to run in halo pc, y not a gun?

Pie · Post by **Pie** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 12:40 pm

because the pelican is already in Halo. A gun with different number of verts than the original gun you are over lapping or somethign doesn't work. You can duplicate but making a fulyl custom gun does not work in HaloPC.
