how do i make a level darker over all? i followed the tutorial except i used gyphryophobia's sky. the ground is too lit up for this too look right.

also, i have seen people who have made the skin color different. do you do this through the tint buttons or what?

also how do you make a peice of scenery?

there are alot of freakin tags. they need to release more tutorials on all these other functions!

for lighting im not shure with halo:ce maps, but for the other version you just edited the bitmaps. to make your own scenery you would need to model it, then give it a collision model and skin it then inject.

true, but i wanna do this the right way, not the hack way. and when you edited the bitmaps you made it very limited. i think it has to do with the radiosity strengths and levels. not to sure, that is why i asked.

as for the scenery, i want to be able to model and uvw an object export with blitz, convert with tools.exe and import into sapien. again, i wanna do this the legit way. i think there is a switch option you can enter in the command prompt after tools.exe . like tools.exe scenery blah\blah\blah\. it would be great if i could do it that way.

I believe part of the tutorial explains calculating the lightmaps, which is something that you can do with either tool.exe or HaloCE with one of the dev commands.

Why would you bump an almost one month old topic? Make a new topic next time. Making new weapon tags is extremely complicated, probably too much for you.
