Ok. So, I'm hopefully coming up with a mod. Zap told me, and I wanted to, so I must do it. It will maybe include the following:

Mongoose ftw :D

Wasp?

Normal BG vehis

And hopefully a pelican

All I need is some Eschaton version 0.6 importing tutorials. Please help!!1!

- The (sks) leader


EDIT: Btw does Mota's tags thing.... are they stuff you import?? Thx again.

Mmk well I've never tryed importing thur eschaton but im pretty sure you cant Import CE things thru eschaton.... I would suggest using C#mt if your on PPC or Using HHK if you using mota's tag pack.
A list/downloads of most of the tools for halo demo modding can be found
Here

You can find HHK there and C#MT here. And you will need HMT.75 to correct the models. Use this tut to correct the models made by taxi service.

And use this tut for Importing Things from CE. Ex: a mongoose.

Eclipse's right, you can't import stuff using Eschaton as of now..
Although you only want tutorials, it would be better if you just downloaded Fonzie's Modding Pack V3, complete with all the tuts and tools you need. The link is in my signature. ;)

EDIT:
Yes, the 'stuff' in Mota's tag pack are stuff you import. I think some of the tags in the pack are missing, read the topic. Mota uploaded all the missing tags and gave a link somewhere in the topic..

You'll know how to import the 'stuff' once you read the tut.

Well i noticed eschaton does have buttons in the menu bar for recrusive import/export and those other stuff... They do work for exporting but so far i cant get importing to work and there is a button for map rebuild and batch extract i think.

Importing does work, but with simple stuff. For example, if I wanted to reset a warthog if I messed it up, I would open the original bloodgulch, go to vehi, extract the warthog meta, open the mod, and inject. That would work because it's just changing the meta, not introducing anything new.

I probably should have made it clearer. I was talking about importing recursively.

Pssst. Inject != Import. Different meanings, different processes. I'll give you a hint, one overwrites, one adds new info.

Don't just HAND over tutorials please. Give him some hints and let him use trial and error! I remember spending weeks on just trying to get a pelican into BG. Hardest shit of my life, almost. Hahah. Not really, but you catch my drift.

No, dude almost everyone who's been here a few months knows how to do it. It's even in the tutorial sticky. If he doesn't have to spend a lot of time on this maybe he'll find out how to do something even cooler that we don't know about.

The 3rd thing I learnt was Importing. After Swapping projectiles in Hex and Swapping vehicles with scenery in HMT.
