I'm a noob at making maps for halo custom edition so i need some help. I downloaded Halo Editing Kit and i noticed that there was no actual program called Halo Editing Kit that i use to make maps. It came with Sapien and another program called Guerilla. I need someone to tell me what to do to get to make a map. I have already made a character with Guerilla and i want to know what Sapien is for and how i start making a map. I also want to know what the character i made looks like. If I am asking noob questions im sorry but im just a little confused. If anyone has and guidance please post your advise. I have looked through the tutorials and still dont get it.

You should have an HTML page in the files you downloaded linking you to Cortana.org - they have tutorials there.
Getting maps? halomaps.org, then download the zip files, extract the .map file in your Halo Custom Edition/maps directory.

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

Ok here is the lowdown on HEK:

Halo Editing Kit is not a program. It is a kit (hence the name) containing tool.exe, guerrilla, and sapien.

Tool - the infamous tool. It compiles sound, collision, physics, models, scenarios, and map tags.

Guerrilla - used to edit tags

Sapien - used to populate the level

Here is an entire site dedicated to it:

http://www.halomods.com/index.php?topic=Tutorials

You need either 3DS Max or Gmax with either a Blitzkrieg plugin (for 3ds) or TheGhost's Chimp to make the level with.

Blitz (for 3ds max 6, 7, 8):

Chimp:

Gmax:

3DS Max is not a free program. You can download the trial just search for it on google. If you get version 9 you need:

Tool - the infamous tool. It compiles sound, collision, physics, models, scenarios, and map tags. Maybe. Ask nicely. Just remember, it can't hurt you.

Sapien - used to populate the level, don't do anything bad, or even slightly mischievous or it will crash.

I fixed some definitions.

Thanks. I tried to be conservative but Gumball actually does has the right definitions.

*shakes fist at tool*

Actually, tool's not that bad if you are experienced and if your geometry isn't wacky.

If your not going to put in any effort into looking at the tutorials I gave you in my first post I'm sorry but give up now because mapping takes a lot more effort than what you just chose not to give.

Go to the sites already posted (Halo Mods and Halo Maps). You can get HEK at Halo Maps and you can get mods and tutorials on how to make your own maps there. Please read the whole post before you post.
