well for starters im not really a pro modder, i wanna try and become one by following that list of things you had posted before but do you just have a beginner tutorial like for a complete beginner at it i never use entity...sorry if this is considered spam

Ok for beginners , entity SBPS map editor, you move a load of stuff, (blocks etc) and nobody but you sees with you it on or off the host , you move a load of spawns and everyone can see your changes no problem, how come?

what can be done as:
host
partymember

And can fine adjustments be made to placing things with the SBSP viewer so things dont have to float or be half burried

**AtomicBump** · 05-23-2007, 06:55 PM

its hard to make fine adjustments, just tap the key really quick and it wont move alot.

False, press the - (dash) key to slow down, press + (plus) key to speed up.

LD50 · 05-24-2007, 02:00 PM

please remove

thanks for the + - tip,

How about my other question, how come you can move spawns and every1 will receive spawn co-ords from you as host, but If you move blocks, turrets or Koth hills and they don't get the co-ords from you

EDIT

sorry about the poor English this is difficult question for me to describe and the more I think about it the deeper it gets,
make it simple
every 1 using exactly the same entity'd .map , all good :laughing:
if playing system link as a party member with a entity'd .map , you can really only cheat (fast running auto aim flying all the stuff timmy age12 just lernt to mod would love) or am I missing something here?
If playing system link as a party host with a entity'd map you can do some cool things like visible projectiles switches, give some timmy tricks to every1 for a fair fight, invisible teleporters, remove invisible barriers

so my question really is what tags within a .map are depending on the host for location co-ords

no i mean i can never get the containment_base_base_gate (i forget the exact tag) to go a certain way, you know how in the BSP veiwer, how you can go forwards or backwards but not right/left (like turning i mean i know you can scroll n ****) well i cant get the gates to slope backwards (like the opposite way you are veiwing) i dunno why maybe im retarded..

Uhm. I need help with BSP Viewer. When I open, it opens for a split second and closes and I get an error saying something about a "Just In Time" Debugger thing. Any help?

**Zone 117** · 05-24-2007, 11:23 PM

Download a new Entity, restart your computer, re-install .NET Framework. Get new clean shared, single shared, and mainmenu maps, make sure the map you are trying to open isn't f*cked up.

LD50 · 05-28-2007, 07:04 PM

Hi I've just discovered entity's meta editor but can't see how to save the changes I make

*I saw 117's BSP SP to MP tut and thought........... word*

*I found it, It's not the save button on the right hand side its the save button on the top left of the Meta Editor there abouts at the top in the middle of the screen next to tools

**Zone 117** · 05-28-2007, 11:33 PM

Hi, Whenever I move an object in Entity's BSP Viewer, and try to open it again, I get a message that says something like, "This is not a valid Halo map." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
