Adding Weather - I'm so confused!

[v Th3 Con v]

Ok, i've looked around a little bit and i've seen a few tutorials on how to add weather to a map that doesn't have any. All I want to do is add the snow from Lockout, onto Containment.

Can someone please make an UNDERSTANDABLE tutorial?

Thanks,

if u dont understand them, ur not ready to make them

All of the tutorials are EXACTLY the same, so somebody ripped it and then someone else ripped the tutorial again. But all of them use horrible english, like I can't even understand my own language. I can mod Halo 2, I just can't mod Halo 2 whenever the person teaching me something new doesn't know how to speak clear enough.

Again, can anyone help me out?

[LegitModZ]

yea, if theyr same, there is no other way

Which is why i'm asking someone if they can help me out with this...

Here's the tutorial, taken from nydodge426's freewebs page.

Halo 2 Mods: H2MoDZ :: Halo 2: Combat Evolved
(The tutorial is located about halfway down the page)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1- Open Maps
Open Insolence. Now open the map that has the weather you want and the map that you would like to put it in. For this tutorial I'm going to use lockout and warlock.

Step 2- Drag & Drop
In lockout go to the "weat" tag and drag and drop "scenarios\multi\lockout\lockout" into warlock and from here you will see a box saying it is moving objects and re-linking them.

Step 3- Replacing old weather with new weather
Now we need to make warlock use the new weather. Open up the "scnr" tag for warlock. Open the reflexive about weather. Go to dependencies. Change the weather to the new one you added. Now. In order to make the weather change, you have to fix a dependency in the sbsp tag, which Insolence doesn't currently support. So open ADI, find the "weat" dependency in the sbsp tag, and change it to the new weather.

Step 4- Fix encryption
Click "Fix Map Signature" under Map Options. That's all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I understand everything except Step 3. There is no "Reflexive about weather" in Insolence for me... and you can see what I mean by bad english, lol.

There is no reflexive for weather because that tutorial is teaching you how to add different weather to a map that already contains weather.

Here is a tutorial I found on how to add weather on a nonweathered map:

1. Decompile your mp map.


2. Find the map that has your weather and decompile it's sbsp.


3. Open your maps bsp meta in h2guerilla.


4. Open the map with weather's bsp in guerilla as well.


5. Find the weather pallette in the map with weather's bsp.
6. Click Copy.


7. Go to your maps bsp meta and find the weather pallette.
8. Your map shouldn't have a number next to the weather pallette. So click the insert button.


9. Now you should have the number 0 next to it. Moving up a bit, you should find the Visual Clusters/Meshes.
10. Open the Visual Clusters/Meshes. In each chunk there is a index to the weather palette set to -1. You want to go through each chunk changing them from -1 to 0. So make sure all the chunks have a weather index of 0. (Coagulation has 47 chunks, so all of them should be set to 0).



11. Save changes.
12. Rebuild map with the new bsp meta. (If you don't understand this. Just rebuild your map with the same scenario you decompiled from it.)
13. Ftp and check to see if the weather was added.
DONE!

If you have problems with H2C/H2G then use Detox's weather tool.
