I'm currently looking into missing brute pieces, but I've only just started so no real progress so far.

im very much enjoying this thread :)

COOL I CAN EXTRACT ALL THE METAL TEXTURES NOW!! THANKS!! :D

do want cubemap pack hrnnggg

How does we use teh specular in the cubemap.

Hmm, wonder if we can use it in halo ce though.

Awesome!

YESU! Now if only the part of OS with the dynamic cubemap locations was made for release..

I think it's possible to do it without OS with trigger volumes and permutations of models... like the backpack weapons

Hmm, that can possibly work as well.

In any case the biped would have to be level specific...

waffles, I like what you did there. It's now going to be the default setup.



I would make the background blue by default, but it makes it look really ugly for the environment cubes.

Leave it the way it is, it looks perfect. Directly compile-able through tool at the way it is, just add blue in gimp or photoshop by yourself.

EDIT: Sandtrap/Shrine cubemap bitmaps still dont seem to work... Just pitch black?

perfect! :D

You should also try fixing the wraith_bump into

Currently, it's like some blue stuff.

The background color doesnt have so much importance, halo considers the background color as the transparent (=black) parts of the cubemap, or it takes a source from teh first left-top pixel, I dont know really, so not having the blue isnt a big issue

Its blue like that because its a different type of normal map im pretty sure :p.

world or something

It's fixable though, that's what I'm saying.

What ones? Every single flood bitmap I checked in 050_floodvoi was working fine.

A missing/corrupt campaign.map can also cause a lot of things to not extract, mainly in campaign levels.

Some bitmaps that were extractable before are not extractable now.

I can't help unless you say exactly which ones...

active_camouflage_disortion

Yes, that's because its an A8R8G8B8 cubemap. Those are being a problem at the moment.

Yes, I understand that, but why would you want to convert it if that's it's proper format? It was baked like that in Max or zbrush etc.
:P

btw does OS allow all formats or only the standard?

Anyone a fan of RawCheeze?



BIG shoutout to darvolt for help on this one. This is far from finished though, still lots of improvement needed.
Edited by Gravemind on Feb 13, 2013 at 07:42 AM

I am.

That could all be fixed with an updated EMF script. If I had the source I'd update it, but I'm really no good with MaxScript and the help doesn't help too much.

I don't know if this helps at all, got it from a chinese website.

#include <stdio.h>
int key = 0xECD6D157;
unsigned short DoNumber() {
    unsigned long x,y;
  x = key;
  y = x + x * 2;
  y = x + y * 4;
  y = y * 0x10;
  y += x;
  y = y * 0x100;
  y -= x;
  x = x + y * 4 + 0x269EC3;
  key = x;
    __asm mov eax,x;
    __asm sar eax,0x10;
    __asm mov x,eax;
    return x & 0x7fff;
}
int main(int argc,char *argv[]) {
    short num;
    char c;
    if (argc < 2) {
        printf("srcun: Maxscript Deprotector\n");
        printf("converts a *.mse encrypted script back into a *.ms script\n");
        printf("usage: scrun msefile msfile\n");
        return 1;
    }
    FILE *f1 = fopen(argv[1],"rb");
    FILE *f2 = fopen(argv[2],"wb");
    while (!feof(f1)) {
        c = fgetc(f1);
        num = DoNumber();
        c ^= num;
        fputc(c,f2);
    }
} 

This is probably for really old 3ds max versions, but hopefully it can help you.

Of course, whatever gets encrypted, can always be decrypted, that's a rule for sure.

No, I've been busy with the model viewer and university work lately. I'm also away for a while and won't be back till about the Monday after next, so the update with the model viewer will be a bit late. I got a fair bit done before I left though. It's now 10x faster than RawCheeze, and you can turn the model parts on and off without reloading the model. I also made it so you can extract from the model viewer tab, so it only extracts whats currently showing. A few other improvements, too.


As far as I know, the only MaxScript decryptors around are for old versions, like Max 8 or something. And yea it would have to be decryptable, otherwise Max wouldn't be able to read it after it encrypts it.

You returned. Requirements for the current version is only .NET Framework 3.5, I'll put it on the OP soon.


For anyone who wants to try the model viewer, here's what's currently done:
-link no longer valid-
If the model viewer part doesn't work, you may need to install the DirectX runtime. It's worked for me on all computers I've tried, so I can't be sure why it may not be working for people. You can also try XNA redistributable 3.1, but it shouldn't be needed. If you need to, you can revert back by doing a forced update. The actual update probably won't be out for about 7-9 days seeing as I'm away for a while.
Remember: the tags you want are under "render_model" not "model"!

Here's some of of the features:

• 5-10x faster model loading than the original RawCheeze
• Dynamic camera speed - bigger models start with a faster camera
• Better dynamic camera position - starting camera position is scaled better for bigger models
• Loads more model textures than the original RawCheeze
• Cycling cursor - while moving the camera, the cursor will automatically cycle to the opposite side if it gets to the edge
• Realtime permutation toggling - when you toggle a permutation in the checkboxes it will automatically update in the viewer
• Extract models via the viewer - permutations selected in the viewer are the ones that will extract
• By default, the viewer will load "standard", "base" and "default" permutations at the start

Once again, big thanks to darvolt for the original RawCheeze.

Your team is doing great Gravemind, your fast growing into the most contributive programmers CE has known! Keep it up guys!

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure others have made much bigger contributions. Also not much of a team with only one person, although there's been lots of contribution by others, namely darvolt with the model viewer and Anthony & Xenon7 for the original extraction code from Alteration. I'm glad to have helped people though, and happy that people enjoy my program.

PS: you should change your avatar quote as it is not be-fitting for you :-)

Depends who you ask.


In the Adjutant preview I posted above, certain models won't load in the viewer when they should, mainly the brute model. This has been fixed and will be in the official release next week.
I also added some specular to the shaders so they aren't as dull now.
