well, first, its pretty simple, you just need to follow those directions exactly. Second, if you dont have your map made 9in g-max with textures) you dont need to worry about using Chimp yet for a while. Ive actually been thinkin about asking Baka to make a quick tutorial on how to use Chimp (like a video) to help people who arent into actually using computers, or are just not good at applying info they recieve (no offense, but it does take a bit of effort to do this stuff)
EDIT- This is the stuff that YOU need to know:
----------------------------------------
GMax Usage Instructions (Jms Exporter)
----------------------------------------
1) Select the 'Listener Window' Option
2) Press the 'Export Halo Map' button
3) When the process is complete you need to run the supplied 'GrabListener.exe' Program. Ensure that you only have one copy of GMax running when you do so.
4) Save the Listener data to your Halo\Data\Levels\Test\YourMapName\Models folder as YourMapName.jms
5) Open YourMapName.jms in your favorite text editor and remove everything before and including the line '***** Begin Jms *****'. Then goto to bottom of the file and delete everything after and including the line '***** End Jms *****'. Save YourMapName.jms
6) You should now be able to compile your map into a scenario using tool
As well, since the program is no longer a floater (automatically pops up) you must do this when you open chimp:
Navigate to the "utilities icon" which is the hammer icon that is on the very right side away from the "create icon". You must then scroll to the bottom where you can select "run script" under the title in greenish block called "MAXScript". You then navigate to where you extracted the chimp.ms file and click open. Nothing will happen, dont worry this is normal. Now you see below the "run script" button? The word Chimp has appeared in the selector. Re-select chimp and VOILA! Chimp will pop up on the right side. Now you have chimp open. (I hope I have made some sense...)
