Open the map you want in Halo Map Tools. Browse to the [mod2]Model tag. Select the meta of the weapon model, and click the Extract button on the right. Extract the file as a .obj, and then edit it in Gmax. Save the model as a .obj again, and import it back into HMT.

Okay I moddled the AR now but when i save it in Milkshape it saves it as a .ms3d file and HMT will only accept .obj file.
So how do I get it back into Halo?
