Interesting.Juan speaks in 3rd person.

Its not kiwi either.
Any news on any super duper updates Gravemind?

I love juan.

Which is not the topic of the thread. Please return to the topic.

Hey Gravemind, have you thought of adding a Hexbox control so we can at least see the hex of tags we cant edit because the meta plugins don't give enough information?

Turn on Advanced Mode, use Tools->Debug->Dump raw. That should achieve what you want.

Thanks that helps.

No problem.

The "Dump raw" option is only for raw data such as models, textures animations etc, not meta information (it fails on sound though). Also it doesn't require advanced mode to be used. As for updates, I'm currently without a computer and I don't know how long that will be for, so no updates for a while.

How does one dump a whole jmad animation?

You don't. The animations raw is in chunks, and each chunk has a number of animations' raw data in it. You can dump each chunk by copying the raw ID and pasting it in the raw dump window. The IDs are near the bottom
of the meta information in a section labeled "Raw Chunks" or something like that.

Not all animations have a raw chunks section however. That's what I was afraid of.

Making it load the tag list is easy, but in Halo4 they changed a lot of the tag structures including the zone and play tags (if I remember correctly) which are used for finding the raw data. Apart from this I didn't really look at Halo4 much, and probably won't be adding support for it any time soon. Also 343i probably wouldn't like the assets being available this early.

Yeah. There is still more things to fix in the halo reach model extractor before we get into halo 4. Such as unextractable permutations.

See the OP for download links with missing permutations.

a suggestion: the search bar. shows all files within the desired folder (bitmaps, render models, etc) with the typed string, using * for filler. (ie. "*cubemap" will show all files with the string "cubemap" regardless of what is in front of it, and "cubemap*" will show all files with the string "cubemap" regardless of what is after it, and so on. typing "levels\solo\m50*" should show all files belonging to m50, and so forth.)
putting one in the upper right corner would be nice, and the reason why this would be desirable is obvious (hint: cubemaps)

Anyone here know how to fix this problem?

Seems like the shadows/lightning gets stuck in the UVW mapping or something. It stops where the texture stops etc. Could someone help me out? I'm putting down a lot of time into a CGI I'm doing right now and this is stopping me. Would be glad as hell if someone knew how to fix this, or work around it.

export the textures as dds, it seems gravemind didn't ever look to see that when the textures are exported as tif it exports a type of spec map over the diffuse texture

Really, that was only the problem? Oh god, I have so many textures to fix now... Thanks for finding me a solution, I was going crazy. I searched for this on google for hours.

don't export the normal maps as dds, only the diffuse.

But how do I make it work with the specular level? It works fine with just the diffuse, but when I add a specular level with the diffuse map it does that problem again.

This is not a bug, it's how the images are in Halo3/Reach. If you want the diffuse only, turn off the alpha in the material settings in Max, or delete the alpha channel in photoshop.

I thought how the "images" are in reach/halo3 were how they should look like in guerilla.
I was thinking it's because tif merges the alpha with the diffuse, just like a png when exported. Look at halo 1 bitmaps, if you export using firescythe's tool, and as a tif, it also does the same thing with merging alpha and diffuse.

The dds textures isn't doing a difference for me. I've still got that line in the middle of the model. Is there someone here who doesn't get those lines? If so, please post an image showing that. I really need to get this working, so any help would be appreciated.

Could you please post an image of you doing that?
I did remove the alpha but it's not working. It's so annoying to see you facepalm me when you don't know what you're talking about.
If what you're saying is true, could you guide me on how to do it? As you see in my image, there's no alpha. I removed it. And still this problem is here.
I don't care about being right or wrong about this, I just want to get it working. So if you see something I did wrong here, please point it out and help me out.

Thanks for replying! I'll try it out asap and see if it works.

Hey I get a runtime error: array index must be positive number.
Any clues?

Which tag on which map?

Shotgun model on Swordbase.

Works fine for me. What is the checksum of your map? It may be corrupt.

-If it is corrupt, PM me and I'll send you a more reliable download link.
