I am quite an experienced modder, although i have not posted many, but i have recently been trying to change the models of vehicles. I do not want to move individual verticies in Gmax, but i want to swap the model of a vehicle (ghost) for a model that already exists in the map. I have tried doin this a number of ways, including: exporting and injecting in HMT3.5, Rebuilding the map with a duplicated ghost and new model dependancies, and Editing the XML files of the map before rebuilding in every way i can think of. But still I get exception errors.
What i want to know is, how do you swap a vehicles model with another, existing model. Im pretty sure this possible, as MonoxideC (ill miss him) released a video of a warthog with the model and bitmaps of a hunter. Does anyone know of any tutorials that will tell me how this can be done????

Okay, this is VERY easy to do...
I'll just give a quick way to do so:
1. Download Halo Hacker Tools by CLuis ( HHT )
2. go into the map you want the model to change.
3. Go into vehicles, and select for example the warthog.
4. at the top, it will say mod2, which means model.
5. click once on it, and go into the dropdown menu at the bottom.
6. Choose the model you want the warthog to be, like hunter.
7. Click on Swap, and you're done! You can now play the map with a Warthog that looks like a Hunter!
I hope this helped.

thank you very much, i shall try both of these methods, your help is appreciated.
[edit] oops, spoke too soon, it didnt work. i have explored the probelm and there seems to be some kind of problem with swapping a vehicle model with that of a piece of scenery. Maybye it's something to do with the number of bones in the model...
if anybody knows how to do this, i would be very grateful.

c'mon people, please post replies. I need help with this, to produce an original mod idea, it could lead to very interesting mods being produced in the future, and as far as i'm aware, it hasn't even been thought of yet!
so if you know of a way to swap a vehicle model with that of scenery, of a reason why it's impossible, please post!!!!!!!!!!
