I made a mesh (master chief to be exact) and tried to get him in-game using vyse's tutorial. It didn't work.

here is my hlo.req and hloshell.req located here : C:\BF2_ModTools\data_HLO\Sides\HLO
masterchief's req hlo_masterchief.odf
hlo_masterchief_default.odf rep_inf_default (I took out the sound stuff to save space) my lua munge log
BF2 log

Your BF log is worthless, after you have an munge error.

can you please try to munge your sides with the stock BF2 rifleman instead of your msh??

if it still doesn't work, try to include your hlo_masterchief_default.odf in your hlo_masterchief.odf. the default things are only usefull if you have other units with same properties.

if it still doesn't munge have a look at the weapon if everything is correct there.


and do always cleans. you don't need manual cleans but cleans you should do.

1. For now, don't bother with the Shell.req, it just complicates things.
2. Did you copy the "Common" side to your side folder?
3. How is it "not working," does the game crash or is the unit just not there?
4. Do the first part of what Anakin said and determine whether the model or the ODF is the problem.
5. It looks like the game is having trouble creating the chief's shadow mesh. Until you model one, try copying the stormtrooper shadow or other model in XSI and try this all again.

Also, if a munge log shows errors, don't even bother running the game. Sort that out first.

I did what Anakin said and the game doesn't crash but no basic trooper shows up either. I guess I'm not setting up my side right... I will start from ground zero and try and find the problem.

last time you had an .req.txt file.

I know, I know, I have learned from that one. They aren't like that anymore.

After receiving a private message from JimmyAngler, and previously agreeing to help him, I would be happy to setup your unit for use ingame. I would do all of the following:

-Make the side folder, including all associated .req's and .odf's.
-Weight, envelope, and export the unit.
-Make edits to the unit, with permission. Entirely for bug fixes or performance issues.

I would like to post screenshots of the unit model in HaloFront's 3D art thread once ingame. Let me know if thats not okay. Otherwise, happy moding everyone!

EDIT: After receiving another PM, Jimmy requested that I do not edit the model.

Yes, zwyx1234 is on board out mod. I can model, but not anything else it seems. I did get master chief ingame, just not out of his t-pose. he just hovered everywhere with this floating gun. Thanks to everybody who helped me get him in-game, Just have to move him somewhere warmer for his limbs to thaw.
