Subject: Halo editing kit problem HELP

I'm a 15 year old stuck in the middle of nowhere. Machinima director, screenplay writer, novelist, jazz musician, and Photoshop junkie.

Here are the problems I have when I try to install it.
First one I tried opening was a ZIP folder. I attempt to extract the contents but the program goes into white non responding mode.
Second I got off of Fileshack and other sites. Every time I open it it has nothing to do with the Editing kit it just brings me to the Halo Custom Edition menu and when i click play it just brings me to a Halo Editing Kit tutorial site with ABSOLUTELY NO troubleshooting area.
3rd is just anoying I try to open and it says "invalid win32 file B.S. B.S. B.S." SOMEONE HELP I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS BUT MY COMPUTER IS TO RETARDED TO DO WHAT I ASK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, what OS are you trying to use?

Here's a download for HEK, http://halo2.filefront.com/file/Halo_Editing_Kit;25780. It's for Halo PC, (if your going to use it with HCE try HEK Plus). There are three major programs in the kit, Blitzkrieg, which is used to convert maps from the modeling program to .jre format, Gorilla, which is a tag editor, and another program used to manipulate objects inside the map.

There is also a with the tutorial, which is the first thing you need to read. You still need a modeling program like 3DS Max. There is a free version called Gmax, but it was discontinued. You can still get it here but you have to register (free). Otherwise its in this with some other good tools, but the file is pretty big. After you get everything together, play around with it (going along with the tutorial) before you actually try to make something.

OS, your operating system. I'm not sure if it works on Vista, even though its backwards compatible.

My friend had trouble installing his copy on Vista.

excerpt:
===============
The HEK
The Halo Editing Kit consists of several programs: (from the HEK tutorial)


Blitzkrieg (blitzkrieg.dle)
Blitzkrieg is the exporter plug-in for 3D Studio Max. This plug-in exports the model data (vertices, materials, smoothing group information, animations, etc...) from 3DS Max to the file formats (.jms, .jmp, .jma, .jmm, .jmt) used by tool.exe to compile a data tag that can be used by Halo.


Tool (tool.exe)
Tool is a multipurpose command line program that compiles and converts data that has been exported from other sources such as 3D Studio Max. The data files that are created are referred to as "tags". Running "tool.exe" by itself with no command line parameters will display a complete list of the available command line parameters and appropriate variables and variable formats.

Guerilla (guerilla.exe)
Guerilla has a graphical interface that is used to edit the properties and resource references in the Halo data “tags”.


Sapien (sapien.exe)
Sapien is used to edit or modify various aspects of a level that has already been compiled using Tool. Sapien has a graphical interface that contains a 3D window that renders the game including the level bsp, models, and vehicles as well as playing sounds and running physics. Sapien is used for many purposes, including the population of characters, weapons, items, scenery objects, and game play and mission objectives

It is highly recommended that you read the HEK tutorial that comes with the HEK installation BEFORE you start trying to edit or create maps.
