Well send me the file in a pm ill look into it.

Yes and no, the navpath merely tells the npc where it walks and where it cant go to, if you remove the nav file from a quest map and play that map, youll see npcs just standing around, not moving towards you, that is because it cant calculate a path because the data to do so i missing (the nav file).
But yah, you'll be safe with putting it slightly abouve ground intead of steps youd make a slope btw.

You've had send me the wrong file, i meant the file from the first post, whatever.

Quick basic global illumination light setup with a sun.
Everything is calculated normaly.

Based on the map files mesh structure id say you made that in radiant and imported it in a weird way into max but cant tell for sure.
Anyways, since your modeling (sorry) kinda sux, basically always add a reset xform and collapse/apply all modifiers.
The last part (collapsing modifiers) isnt that important but i find it rather annoying to have 6161 modifiers stackd.

After you do the hierachy and xform reset everything should work normaly.

how did you do the basic global illumination light setup if I may ask? o.oand I modeled everything in MAX btw. I cant model in GTK.Im still a beginner modeler ;c

Hint; look at the 8 first lights on any maiet map.

ok well. resetting the Xform make the collision and the scale of my meshes weird. I cant seem to walk again on the floor but I think that is because I didnt actually work with hides and passes because if you dont name an object, the meshes are solid (as long as they are closed boxes).with some help from tutorials about 3D max Im learning everything from scratch again, but Im still bugging my head why Trunks could get this to work so easely with the information Wucas provided. and I think its because of my version of 3D max 2010.so my next question is, are exporters for gunz compatible with 3D max 2014? also, can I install the 64bit version?

No. There are public exporters for Max 9 and Max 2010.

When you apply a reset xform you reset any transform information without the mesh not being affected by it anymore.
Apply the xform and then continue to work onward from there on, alternativley you can also try to reconvert your object into a editable poly, after applying a xform reset.

Oh and yes, obviously closed volumes work, collision doesnt "need" to have the hide prefix.
However, generally you want your visual mesh to not be closed volumes, why? because it saves polys.
Therefor youd use a seperate closed volume mesh for the collision.

alright. thanks. ^-^
