Hey could one of you moderators stiky this so that not so many people will post asking what to download and where to download it?.

[bkblabber]

maybe they can add this to the "making a custom weapon with gmax" sticky..

[SkullzOfZyx]

Ive been looking through these tutorials, and i was wondering what program do you use to mod the weapons and how. Is there an HHT or w/e tutorial, or am i thinking of the totally wrong program?

You have to use the HEK to get em ingame.

The Halo Editing Kit is pretty much for all fully custom created content. Since...well...it's the...official editing kit.

You forgot BlueStreak I think. The maxscript by TheGhost that allows .jms exporting in Gmax and 3ds Max without Blitz. Beats the crap out of chimp, and works for scenery/weapons in Gmax.

Where can I open Gmax I downloaded it and got the code so where do I open it?

[RaVNzCRoFT]

Did you actually install it, or did you just download the installation file?

[Zim]
